Expect it wont be long before someone has a Pi or Arduino shim to feed this thing any ROM one likes
I get why a curious engineer would do this, but there are already so many devices we have laying around that can already hook into the TV and play atari (and other) games...
I suspect there's few people who own many original Atari 2600 or 7800 carts that really want to use them like this: surely that'll degrade their antique value?
History shows that if this takes off, it'll increase demand for carts and raise prices. Of course, prices on these carts aren't that high to begin with. There's a ton of them laying around, so the supply might be able to absorb the demand...
True collectors pieces might be something CIB, and yeah, you wouldn't want to crack those open, but even some games like Galaga are only going for $20 CIB...
