Atari2600 Game Cartridge Reader Firmware

This repository contains the firmware for a cartridge reader which I developed. It can be used to create backups of your atari2600 games on your PC for preservation purposes or for playing your games on an emulator. I also made a piece of software for creating backups on your PC, which can be found at https://github.com/keoni29/romclient/ Visit my project page at https://hackaday.io/project/113217-atari2600-cartridge-reader

Flashing the USB bootloader

Optional step if you wish to use the USB port to update device firmware. The STM32 "Blue pill" board comes with a serial bootloader. Use the serial bootloader to flash the USB bootloader. Further instructions can be found here: https://revspace.nl/STM32

Building firmware

This firmware was built using platformIO for stm32. Board info can be found here:

Uploading firmware

Using the USB bootloader

Type without hitting enter

dfu-util -a2 -D .pio/build/bluepill_f103c8/firmware.bin

Press the reset button and then press enter

Troubleshooting

If you see the error "Can’t open DFU Device" you need to set udev permissions when using Linux or install the usb driver when using Windows.
