VectorGamer Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 #1 I'm playing the Harmony on the 7800. Output from 7800 goes rf to a splitter with one connection going to CRT and the other my laptop. Some games (but not most) will roll horizontally on the CRT but not on the laptop. I first discovered this with Double Dragon and it will do it every time with this game. What's the problem? #2 Where are the Starpath games? Surely someone already converted them and they're online somewhere right? ⚠️ THIS MEMBER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/475-theretrocade/?p=7683 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 #1 - you probably have a PAL ROM. #2 - Yes, they are available. PM me if you can't find them anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I just downloaded all the zip files that AA had I assumed they were all NTSC. ⚠️ THIS MEMBER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/475-theretrocade/?p=7683 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 first of all, what version is your bios on your harmony think the current one 1.06 second is the harmony first version or encore encore has more memory. if your playing 2600 activision games on a 7800 I believe there are issues. as for starpath they are converted to use on harmony.

VectorGamer Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Alright I just checked and the firmware is 1.05. Are you telling me they shipped this out without updating the firmware? Also I fired up Spider Fighter tonight and there's text missing in "Activision" at the bottom of the screen, text missing in what looks like is supposed to say "bonus" and the score is unreadable. Overall it's a neat product but I'm uncovering more games that aren't working properly for different reasons. In a way I'm disappointed in that I thought the Harmony would be the cart to end all carts. ⚠️ THIS MEMBER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/475-theretrocade/?p=7683 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any of the files were PAL I would assume it would have been made clear, unless every game is scrambled I doubt it is PAL. For good measure you DID get a good source of ROMS right? Bad dumps may cause display issues or other corruptions - Like from here? ROMHUNTER COLLECTION http://www.atarimania.com/rom_collection_archive_atari_2600_roms.html That is a clean set of ROMS all neatly organized for the HARMONY with everything including Retail / Demos / STARPATH / hacks etc. PRETTY SURE most recent firmware IS 1.5 like I have, 1.6 I believe is still BETA that has caused issues for some.

VectorGamer Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 The ROMS I got were from AA where they have the zip files you can download. I figured that was THE place to get them. Rick sent me a link to an archive that I downloaded but I haven't tested any of those yet. I'm on vacation next week maybe that'll give me some time to experiment. ⚠️ THIS MEMBER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/475-theretrocade/?p=7683 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormSurge Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I'm considering finally jumping in the pool and getting a Harmony. Would you recommend the Encore? I want to be able to play all these great new homebrews and the Encore is the only way to do that, correct? (Aside from an emulator, but I'd rather play on original hardware) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
