He has since <a href=\"http:\/\/mrpjevans.com\/2017\/06\/an-atari-2600-in-a-cartridge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog-posted<\/a> an account of the building of the console. This is a great write-up of a great project, well in the capabilities of an intermediate maker. He used a craft knife and a rotary tool on the cartridge case and then embedded the Pi Zero inside. A couple of serial port connectors were added to allow the addition of the Atari joysticks and, of course, several buttons and toggle switches to mimic the original console. PJ has used <a href=\"https:\/\/retropie.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RetroPie<\/a>\u00a0as the main operating system and then loaded <a href=\"https:\/\/stella-emu.github.io\/\">Stella<\/a>\u00a0to emulate the Atari.
