(DIY) ATARI 2600 MULTI GAME CARTRIDGE 8X8KB
You can make your own custom Atari 2600 Multi Game Cartridge.
(8KB games)
Hello,
This is a simple,DIY multi game Atari 2600 cartridge. It has 8 games capacity each 8 kilobytes, total 64KB.
All components are through hole, marked on the PCB, Easy to solder, Easy to make ;)
This is a tested and working circuit board. This cartridge is tested with Atari 2600 Jr. (PAL)
Just select 8pcs. your favorite 8 Kilobytes games and make your own custom Atari 2600 Multi Game Cartridge.
You can find many different ROM files on the internet by searching "Atari 2600 ROMS" or "Atari 2600 tosec"
ROM files bigger than 8 kilobytes are not suitable for this cartridge, you can use only 8 kilobytes ROM files.
You should append the 8 Kilobytes 8pcs. ROM files each other, reaching to the size of EPROM capacity, by using a "HEX Editor" program. EPROM must be fully filled from $0000 to $FFFF
In order to protect your electronical devices, always turn off your ATARI 2600 before inserting or removing cartridges.
ALWAYS TURN YOUR ATARI OFF BEFORE CHANGING/SWITHING BETWEEN DIFFERENT ROMS!
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.

They look very nice, thank you very much.
Great! tnks
Thank you.
i found someone to program for me.
Hello to you too, Everything I want to share is above. You can find anything other than what I shared above by searching the internet. Thank you for asking.
Hello Eduardo Senos, you are absolutely right, thank you for warning me.
Are there Any Instructions on how to do this from the Jed File. I'm using a T48 Programer, but the Chip is not detected, and I'm not sure Im doing it correctly, from the Jed File.
Hi Mike. I'm using T48 as well, no problem here. You have to select the correct chip, erase it, load jed file and then write.
Thanks, took me a while to slect the correct chip, but working now! Thanks
that's something I wanna know too... but I think it only supports F8 modes...
I've tested with Miner and Miner II, both 3F and these aren't working on a real 2600. However, they are working fine on the new Atari 2600+, firmware V1.0. For Robot Tank and Decathlon (both FE) there are the converted F8 versions available.
I've tried with Montezuma's Revenge, Coco Bongo and Super Cobra but none of this games work on this cart and the Atari 2600Jr. Maybe this is the answer you need.
Hello, I have tested W27C512-45Z, W27C512-45Z is okay.
ok, thanks for your quickly reply.
UPDATE: EEPROM speed (45nS, 120ns, 150ns, etc) isn't a problem; all three work. I'd still stick with the recommended speed... but if you come across any 45nS EPROMs, no worries. If you're facing a black or blank screen despite soldering everything together and flashing the EPROM, here's a crucial tip: don't forget to flash the 20V8 chip too. I thought the 20V8 was a passive component like the 74LS04 or 74HC04, but it requires programming using the provided .JED file... it should work as intended afterwards!
Hi, Recently I received all components to build the cartridge, but I have the doubt on how to program the ATF20V8B-15PC using the JED file. Just using the EPROM programmer? Thanks for your help.
Yes man, do it. Programmer + Jed file.
You are absolutely right, I missed this. Thank you.
Hello, I only tested GAL20V8A-15LP, but I did not test GAL20V8B.
I ordered a bunch of GAL20V8B's for a different project. If they work for this one I will let you know.
I have tested and the Lattice GAL20V8B-15LP chips work.
Hi, Eric. If you need circuit schematics please send me an e-mail to c64istanbul@gmail.com
