To be more specific....I want a system that works like the Retron 5. The AtariTrom5 could in theory accept Atari carts from 2600, 5200, 7800, and others. The Retron 5 accepts a 5 kinds of Nintendo and Sega carts. I am talking about the the actual original carts. You can use a real Nintendo game pad joystick on the Retron 5, so I'd want to be able to plug an Atari joystick into the AtariTron5.

True, the Harmony cart doesn't have a Pokey chip for enhanced sound. IIRC I don't think there is one.

the biggest diappointment about the Retron 5 and similar game systems is that they don't play Atari games. Other than MAME, is there a system that plays all Atari carts in one system? b
Your best and closest option is probably something like a massive flash multicart. Commercial products usually have to license the games which is probably a mess, and the 2600 had a really large library.
Even with flash cart and a real 2600, I would assume some games like Pitfall II won't run from a flash cart since there is an audio co-processor in the cart (I believe.)
