Zybex Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hello. Today i bought some Atari cartridges, and "multicartridges" (cartridges with 128 KB). I have a software for atari to make cartridge dumps, but this only dump 8 kb. If you know a way (with an atari computer, only via software) to dump cartridges with sizes greater than 8 kb, please let me know. I really want to backup my cartridges......

Wilhelm Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Zybex: Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to dump any cartridge, due to the different bank-switching formats. The best way is dumping the cartridge using an Eprom Reader/burner. But, if you still want to dump using software, you can program it in assembler (sorry, no BASIC, cause for memory conflicts). But you have to pay atention to the bank-switching methods. Good luck in your search! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 What cartridges are they? Its likely someone already has dumps they can share with you and save the trouble. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voy Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I know 2 ways to dump a cartridge: 1. Install QMeg+4.04 operating system, turn on a computer with pressing Select; press Control Help, then Control S; change drive number with Space and press Shift W, then Start. Voila! Now you must cut cart data from the disk or ATR image (under APE). 2. Please look at this link http://www2.asw.cz/~kubecj/acartdp.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbaeza Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 The best way is dumping the cartridge using an Eprom Reader/burner. Hi This can be acomplished by desoldering the chips in the cart, and reading each one of them with an Eprom reader/burner. For use in emulators, the contents of the chips must be merged in one file (the ROM image). Am I correct? If not, please clarify...
