Was just watching an episode of "Adrian's Digital Basement" on YouTube, when he reviewed this product:


Pull your 6502, and install it in this adapter PCB which then plugs into the original slot. 16 slots to load up custom ROM configurations, useful for troubleshooting on-board RAM/ROM concerns, replace onboard RAM/ROM, have custom memory images that load on power-up - really cool bit of kit, and only $30.

Interfaces with Raspberry Pi for loading/manipulation of ROM, but once the images are stored, you choose the one you want via dip switches (Pi doesn't need to be connected at that point).

Advertised for various personal computer use (C64, Apple II, Pet's, etc.), but I can see how this could be a cheap tool for having multiple ROM sets on 6502-based arcade games, and potentially handy for troubleshooting as well.

The video above really puts it through it's paces, and shows a lot of the features, and figured I'd post here in case others found it interesting or of use, given the price and flexibility...
