Rom Dunper

[dollopx]

I was just wondering how to build a rom dumper. I understand that you connect the joystick out to the serial port, but from there on I am lost. Any ideas?

Which Atari are you wanting to dump? If you have a 7800 it isn't too difficult a process and is actually pretty well documented. If you have something else...then I wouldn't really have that info. However check most developer sites...as that was how I got the info for converting my 7800 to dump 2600 and 7800 carts.

 

Let us know...there are several of us here who can help...

I wish to dump form a 7800. Can you supply instructions on how this is done?

I supose you are referring to our 2600/7800 development system, which requires you to modify your 7800 console. The latest version of the software and the instructions can be found at buerger.metropolis.de/estolberg/. But since you are posting from Australia, you probably have a PAL 7800. Modifying the PAL console is much simpler than modifying a NTSC console, but the instructions for doing this aren't currently included in the devkit file. Feel free to e-mail me, if you really want to build such a device of your own.

 

But if you only want to have some of your PAL 7800 games dumped, it might be easier to send them to someone who already has a cart dumper. There surely is someone in Australia who can help you out.
