My Err... New Atari Thingy

I was thinking about making an Atari Handheld, but with all the games already in it, does anybody know how I can make an atari program with a lot of games in it?

yup you use bankswitching to put all the games on then you burn them onto an eprom

what you could do is just include my 512 cart or the krok cart in your atari portable.

Have it hard wired to the cart port and use a pull-down resistor to detect when a cart is inserted to the cart slot and have the pull-down resistor short the 5v that you are sending to the 512 onboard cart or onboard Krok cart. With no 5v the internal games will be disabled and the cart in the slot will be read instead.

The Krok cart will need a higher voltage for programing.

Yup it needs to power a 7805 for programing, so anything over 7 volts will work.
