As a CC2 owner, I know the joy of having a multicart, and have always dreamed of one for the 2600. Great work!

[Bakasama]

Here is a zip file with proper avi extension.

 

Do you have an idea as to which codec is used, I can't seem to get this video to play at all.

 

Just download it and run with VLC.

[Buzbard]

Just download it and run with VLC.

That worked, thanks Bakasama.

I don' think it will be ready by then as there is still a of work and testing lot to do. However, it should definitely be ready for the next holiday season. I don't want to hype the Harmony too much, but it is a very nice piece of kit, with several advantages over the CC2 (excluding 7800 support):

 

• SD and SDHC card support
  
• No menu files required
  
• Support for Pitfall2 and Supercharger multiloads
  
• Very simple design that should be possible to produce at low cost

Nice work gang!

I love you guys

[Red 5]

I'm in.

[lgallair]

I'd love to have one. Please put me down for one. Thanks.

[+HatNJ]

I want one or probably 2 this sounds so promising

I love my Kroko cart also but this will make a nice addition

[Thomas Jentzsch]

I would buy one, if it would be wireless. A bluetooth interface would be great.

[keilbaca]

Considering that I lost my game collection, this has become a must buy for me.

It will have a USB connector, and I think wireless USB hubs are available ...

[Longhorn Engineer]

I am down for one.

Yes, but still pretty expensive.

In theory, a bluetooth SDIO card can be plugged into the cart and accessed. However, you would need to write a driver for it

This Bluetooth SMD module could be attached, but it would (more than) double the cost of the harmony cart.

We don't need no stinking Bluetooth.

 

 

I believe that Thomas Jentzsch said his Atari 2600 is near his computer, so he should be able to run a USB cable to it if he can run the cables to his Krok cart while his Krok cart is still plugged into his Atari.

[Dino]

Definately! would love a LTD edition version

[Thomas Jentzsch]

Ouch, yes that's really expensive. I wonder how they can sell BT sticks for less then 10 EURO.

Yes, he can. But less cables is always better.

[Blackjack]

If it's around $50, I'll definitely get one.

[toymailman]

You can count me in!

[Mord]

For my part the intentions are to get one or two, especially if it does end up around that 50 dollar mark. It will, of course, depend on my financial situation at the time.

[CGQuarterly]

Yes! At $50, it is a no-brainer purchase. If you are maintaining a list of interested parties, please add me.

 

Thanks,
