How to take apart an Atari made cartridge?

[bjk7382]

What's the toggle switch used for?

 

It switches between 16k and 32k. (It also has an "off" position for some reason also)

 

 

Yeah I have always thought the Eproms and roms were cool since I started collecting. Funny thing is though I only have about 8-10 Eproms, and I have about 200 Roms.

 

I don't want to derail this thread, but here is a picture of the Rom reader (right) and the eprom reader (left) (I have also recreated the rom reader 2 times. One in a coleco cart and another in an atari cart)

@SS: He means 2 kilobytes and 4 kilobytes.

I finally got the thing apart using a small screwdriver to wedge in between the two parts of the shell. But I found out after opening it that it was wired for just two games after all and there was nothing on the other switch--the amidar ripoff called spiderdroid was labeled "spiderman" on the chip.

Do the new AtariAge carts use a center screw like the old ones to hold them together, or do they just snap together?

 

I always hated messing up the label to fix a Atari cart.

Froggo -steal- games?

 

Gagster Alley -> Task force,

 

Amidar -> Spiderdroid, (the Spiderdroid page in the rarity does not have the related games area)

 

Exocet -> Radar->Cruise Missile

 

Actually what are the copyright dates on the froggo stuff?

 

Amidar = 1982

Ganster Alley = ???

Exocet = ???
