Anyone ever tried hacking a supercharger INTO an atari?

Anyone ever tried hacking a supercharger INTO an atari?

Post by azure_optics »

I've got a supercharger (unmodded) and have been playing around with burning roms onto CD and playing them on my 2600. My question is.. How difficult would it be to hack the supercharger as well as a CD drive into an atari, so that I could just switch the atari on, and pop in a CD and play right off that? It would be really cool to still be able to play cart games (although that would require another cart slot and a switch to toggle between the 2 'modes'.

Well, we have lin-tan and 98-tan down, now we just need all the others!
Although I'd use firefox-tan if I could find a real good one ^_^

Really.... we have a habit of going off topic :P

Yeah, that's EXACTLY what I had in mind.. I wonder how much actual work was involved in doing that.. I've never done anything like it before. Anyway I'd have to get another atari, all I have right now is a heavy six switch and I don't want to mess with that one.
