How about buying a ROM dumper, and dumping some of them (or downloading them from the internet, since he owns them), and using a Atari Emulator like MESS?
: Hey all the XBOX has 4 USB ports as well (well a special connector but USB none the less). I'm sure other things will be coming out to plug into these like USB hubs and Keyboard/mouse combos.
: : Hey guys. This is a bit off topic but - a friend of mine got an email at his work from a guy that owns over 1.3 million atari 2600 cartriges.
: : He wanted to see if my friend's company could create some kind of hardware that you could use to plug an Atari 2600 cart to the xbox, cube or PS2.
: : I responded saying that I doubt it's possible because the only inputs they have are the CD/DVD and maybe the NIC.
: : I also told him that it's probably a waste because there are so many software emulators for Atari and hardware that allows you to plug a cart into your PC.
: : About that hardware - does anyone have a link to a piece of HW that will allow 2600 carts to be used in a PC?
: : Wondering what you all think of this.
: : Thanks,
