ZIF socket, using 27C256s. I think it was a Digdug Cart I slaughtered. EPROM carts are very easy to build, and quite OK to work with. What annoys me most about this is that to burn the EPROMs I have to use a different PC since I can't get my EPROM burner to work with my new notebook.

I mean, at some point you rarely need to test on real hardware because you know more and more what you're doing. I do most testing on emulators, occasionally I burn an EPROM, and when I've used up enough of them to fill the eraser I'll erase them.

Well, I'm more waiting for easily available PCBs with EPROM, RAM and a socket for a sound chip (doesn't have to be a Pokey...you could stick in a CPLD or Micro emulating anything, right). That would be quite sufficient for me.

Also, the TIA's sound capabilities suck. While some people have done pretty decent music for the 2600 I don't think I'd want to do a 7800 demo with TIA sound. To be honest, the 7800 is a really ridiculous thing.

I don't know. I can only test 32k ROMs. I can't really think of anything much impressive, not without additional RAM.

Don't know, couple of hours over a couple of evenings. Music is taken from the 2600 version.
