You can in many cases, though sometimes an inverter like a 7404 is needed
in addition to the EPROM. I reprogrammed my own 2600 Q-Bert cartridge that
had its EPROM become unreliable from a .bin file and it still works fine.

If anyone has any help or leads for him, or any
experience archiving
ROMs/cartridges that may degrade over time and how to properly
preserve them, please drop him a line at "andrew.pacilli at simmons.edu".
Your input can shape an archivist's future :-)
For Atari 2600, can you not just take a .bin downloaded from AtariAge
and burn it to a suitable EPROM that is then installed on a suitable
cartridge PCB?
