I really like the LCD in the cart slot (could use a little bit of trim to finish it out).

As I like to over-complicate things, I'd have tried to put the display in the end of a cartridge so it looks like there's a cartridge in the machine. There'd be much less space for the LCD doing that.

Very nice work. I've seen some 2600 mods that I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. This ain't one of them.

Very cool! Are you using the PIC to emulate bank switching hardware? What schemes does it support?

PIC only feed a RAM chip. The W27C512 emulates F6 and F8. It's possible to emulate any scheme just changing this W27 for another cartridge hardware (i.e. Tigervision or Parker Bros)

Forgot to translate this message. PRONTO=READY.
When you are selecting the game, the 2 display lines show the complete name of the rom stored in the SD. After press the emulator select button the "Ready" message appears and you can play the game.
I recorded a video and post in Youtube one year ago with a huge explanation (Portuguese only, sorry)
Cartridge Emulator Prototype

If English is a second language for you then I'll explain why so many of us like the PRONTO. In English as spoken by Americans, "pronto" is borrow-word slang from our neighbors to the south for "Right Away!" as in "Get your ass in here pronto!"

So we basically LOVE the idea of telling the 2600 to fire up our favorite games....pronto!

Not only you Americans...
Maybe he should change the prompt to "Pronto (adj.)"

Just uploaded a video to YouTube



Can't recorded more, because my camera's battery is empty

I speak portuguese in the video, but is very easy to follow the explanation.

I'll post this Atari in an Auction in eBay. Post the link here soon.

That is by far the coolest multi-cart I have seen for any system!

Its pretty cool, It would be nice to own, does it work with some of the other controllers, like the paddles?

Just read the ebay polices. Will be very difficult to post there.

I'll accept some offers in private, just PM me.

[TwinChargers]

Could it be placed on Chase the Chuckwagon (or Game Gavel), or do they have the same type of policies?

[yuppicide]

He has it on MercadoLibre I see.. he wants $600 R$, which is about $339 US.

http://produto.merca...-1000-jogos-_JM

I'd be interested if it weren't so expensive. It's also PAL - M I'm guessing since it's Polyvox and Brazil. Is that easy to get an adapter to make it into NTSC?

I can convert to NTSC if the buyer ask. It's really easy.
