I modified the cartridge to fit the RaspberryPi and printed a 2600 cartridge label using http://www.labelmaker2600.com. After laser color printing the label to some Avery label paper, I used packaging tape to laminate the labels - I got the idea from one of "the 8 bit guy" videos.
After cutting and attaching the labels, I turned on the RetroPie and tried out Atari 2600 Pacman - it is worse than I remembered.
I tried out Vice, which is the Commodore emulator, and ran the Vic20 emulator. I wasn't able to get any cartridges to run, but it was nice to see what felt like my old Vic20 of 37 years ago.
I went back to the Atari emulator and ran Asteroids. What a load of fun to trek down memory lane! RetroPie offers emulators for PlayStation, Amiga, and so much more. I will get to them eventually.
It's nice to be able to play my old Amiga games and PlayStation games again.
