I have found a couple of roms available for the Atari 8-bit computers but very few. Does anyone know where a source is for these? I can dump them myself and have but would prefer to find some of them online instead of figuring out the bankswitching for all the XE carts. The only place I see is the self-proclaimed Cart Dumping Project which doesn't release the roms. Only other source is the Hollex cart homepage which has the roms set up only to load into their hardware. I can change that but it may be more trouble than it is worth if there is an alternate source. Any ideas?


Well if all I get is a bunch of negative responses keep an eye out for the next few days as I'll release them if nobody else has/will.

FTP Server at atari.xs4all.nl. (Look in the Holme's Archive folder, lots of games and utility images)


ftp://atari8:atari4ever@atari.xs4all.nl/


here's a source for binaries:

http://www.retrocomputing-world.com/roms/Atari/Atari_400___800/atari_400___800.html


This is another system that is usually well covered by usenet. Alt.binaries.emulators.misc has complete sets of Atari .atrs, .exe. binaries, etc every few weeks.

Also, you guys should check out the cool flashcarts at www.atarimax.com, they have greatly simplified dumping programs on real carts to play on the original hardware.

I see a lot of disks everywhere but I am looking for 8K up through 128K romdumps of the actual carts. They should be standard rom files and simply the raw data from the cart. I have found Action! and a few utility carts but no real games. I'll definitely check out Bit Torrent and knew about Holmes site as I have a backup of it. Neither has actual roms however. Guess I start dumping the roms for my own use if nothing else. Thanks for the help guys.
