But yes, there are methods (even from the classic era) to load arbitrary
code into the 2600 using a proprietary cartridge and a cassette tape
machine. In essence, the special cart has a small bootstrap ROM that loads
the software from the cassette into an internal (to the cart) RAM space
which is then banked in as if it were a real 2600 cart ROM.
Of course, the software is still limited to the hardware resources of the
2600.. the cart just emulates a plug-in ROM.
So did this post properly? If not, I don't know how else to do it!
Yep!
As for 2600 cassette schemes,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starpath_Supercharger was the one I'm
aware of.
