Learn how to build your own Atari 8-bit flash cartridge using the A8 PicoCart – a cheap Everdrive alternative for the Atari 400, 800, XL and XE.
In this video we're going to be building the Atari A8PicoCart, a wonderful project released by ElectroTrains aka Robin H Edwards. It's a simple but effective "everdrive" type multicart solution for the Atari 8 bit line of computers.
** This video is kindly supported by PCBWay.com - My choice for for high quality PCB manufacturing, 3D printing and more! I thank them, and Elaine Hu for their wonderful support! ***
You can find his github for the project at github.com/robinhedwards/A8PicoCart and all the files are available there, including the STL files for 3D printing the case.
The Purple Pi Pico clone is here (Ultimate Pico RP2040 128Mbit 16MB compatible with raspberry PI dual-core processors): aliexpress.com/item/1005004148913144.html - Be careful because as I say in the video, this is NOT a standard Pi Pico!

Screw Assortment (Silver - Use 16mm) - amzn.to/4eR5ibC

This is such an easy and useful project to build. I’ve included step by step instructions on how to order pcbs from PCBWay and get the exact board that I'm using.
