Hey Adam!

Making the actual PC board for the Atari games isn't
very hard to do, I would imagine. I read somewhere
that the required EPROM chips are relatively cheap and
getting an EPROM burner won't put a huge dent in your
wallet...so long as you can find one.

I imagine the hardest part would be making the plastic
casing for the cart. I don't think anyone does that
anymore. 

I think the standard practice that homebrewers use is
gutting and re-using old carts.

I could be wrong.
