Harmony Cartridge

djsim101

Well lads, just got my hands on my harmony cart, and after my first hour of game play, I am well impressed with my purchase.





All my fav games seem to play without any hitch. The menu is also very easy to navigate. Looking forward to the Atari 7800 release, reading between the lines, its will into the testing process with a late 2013 release, hopefully!!!!

Any of ye use one?

Los Lobos

Haven't picked it up (yet), but it is definitely on my list. Did you grab a romset off atarimania or just stick a few on to test it?

So what is it?

I grabbed the whole romset from Atari Age (great site btw) and then just selected the few games I played when I was younger into a fav folder.

This great stuff man, well worth splashing the dosh, to play all the games on the original hardware is hard to beat. I was playing Pressure Cooker for an age, god I loved that game, even plays better on a colour TV We had a b&w portable back in the day...

Still get goose bumps listening to the intro music ...

EnterNow - So what is it?

ah man, your taking the mickey right

Its a flash cart for the Atari 2600 where upon you can grab every game and fit them on a 2GB micro card, with plenty of spare to spare Most games are 32KB and play the little bugger classic games on your beloved Atari 2600 till your hearts content....

Ah I see. I left the flash cart world there a while ago, much prefer collecting actual carts. Its a sickness

I know what you mean, I love having the carts on a display on a shelf, but I am a lazy bastard, and having all the games at the flick of a joystick is just too handy.

It eant cheating either, as you are using the original hardware (well,kinda:D)

One downside to the flashcart, ya can't play Boulderdash 2600 on it ;-)

Surely not being able to play Boulderdash is a bonus, no ?

Anyone know where I can get a complete PAL Romset for the Atari 2600? Colours from the NTSC version of the games are not good.

I have been looking everywhere....

Its okay...found once which contains both PAL and NTSC, just bulk rename utility to keep the pal ones.

Hi djsim,

Thanks,

My bad, I thought all Atari 2600 roms were out in the free domain without any copyright issues....
