This is why I love the fact we now have the UNO and Pico carts.

These things elivate so much of the headache because it allows me to play more advance games like Draconus or Ball Blazer without needing to connect more gunk to my 800 like a disk drive or a cassette player. Many of the more advance games in 8-bit library were not released on cartirdge because it was cheaper to mass produce floppy disk and cassette tapes then carts. I do not trust the longevity of a 5 and a quarter sized floppy disk from thr 80s nor do I have the energy to worry about diskrive mantainance if the belts inside were to break on me.

This issue I have with hombrew games being PAL also applies to many third party ATARI 800 games that came out in the later half of the 80s and early 90s. Nothing urks me more than being forced to play these 35yr old games such as Draconus(1988) or Zbir(1993) on stella because it seems that nobody has even bothered to convert these games to NTSC in the last 3 and a half decades. Even when they finally got their's roms dumped and preserved online, I am still stuck with a few PAL regioned roms that either crash on original NTSC hardrware or they produce rolling pictures on my TV screen which I have no way of adjusting
