The way I understand it, there are two companies out there that do. That was according to www.atarimuseum.com. Otherwise, it's on a homebrew/hobby level...which means if an author releases a cart to the public, he'll probably publish about 100 or so. Thanks to Atari Age, the author could probably publish a lot more then that. As for myself, I would rather make my own carts.
