(DIY) ATARI 2600 FROGGER GAME CARTRIDGE PCB

Hello,

This is a tested and working circuit board. This cartridge is tested with Atari 2600 Jr. (PAL)

This cartridge can also be used as generic 2-4KB Atari 2600 Cartridge.

You can find many different ROM files on the internet by searching "Atari 2600 ROMS" or "Atari 2600 tosec"

You should duplicate the ROM file reaching to the size of EPROM capacity by a "HEX Editor" program. EPROM must be fully filled.

You can download some sample EPROM images from this link:

In order to protect your electronical devices, always turn off your ATARI 2600 before inserting or removing cartridges.

If your programmer have capability to test IC chips, like 74LS series, then you should not forget to test them before soldering, some chips may have defect. (TL866 Minipro Programmer is able to test some of logic IC)

Gerber files can be changed at any time. Before paying for the PCBs, be sure to update your orders!

This PCB design is based on Joe 'Kingpin' Grand's Atari cartridge schematics. Many thanks to Joe 'Kingpin' Grand.
