Schizophretard Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Then it is definitely not the KTV I saw but the colors of yours matches the Atari better. This RF suppressing Torrid is nice. I like being able to have a cord this long without turning it into an antenna. They must be the best since Best Electronics is sold out of them.

rhindlethereddragon Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 As most of you know . . . I didn't get the memo. The cartridges that you collect won't be the same ones that you and your father bonded over. They won't have the same sticky fingerprints or the same coffee stains on the manuals. If none of that matters to you, then you bonded over the games on the screen, and that means the Harmony cartridge should satisfy your needs. Is there any way to get a "harmony" cartridge "preloaded" with all the games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Is there any way to get a "harmony" cartridge "preloaded" with all the games? I don't think so. If you already play games using an emulator, you already have the files to put on an SD card. You don't really need anyone to preload the Harmony cartridge for you.

mtshark7 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 So rt what harmony cart would you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 So rt what harmony cart would you prefer? A far as I know, there's only the one. Either you get the standard edition, which is just the cart for $60, or the deluxe, which is the cart, cable and SD card for $80. Unless you already have a cable and SD card, might as well go for the Deluxe. Id you get the deluxe, there's no question on compatibility of the SD card with the cartridge.

I'd always go for the deluxe edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Oh ok thanks for the suggestion and yes slowcoder I was referring to the $60 or $80 versions. So I got another question that’s been bothering me...having a compatible SD card...so a normal SD card won't work in the harmony cart? What’s sooo special about the formatting? Does it have to be FAT? Instead of NTFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have to be FAT? Instead of NTFS Any SD card will work, and can be formatted with FAT or FAT32 (and they come this way.) NTFS will not work, and is a bad idea anyway as very few (if any) cameras, consoles, MP3 players, phones, or other small electronic devices support it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtshark7 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hmm ok thanks for clarifying...actually if you think about it that $20 difference would end up coming even if you bought the $60 version with a usb cable and 2 gb SD card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 By the way, RT, very nice job on the page you put together. Thanks, but to be clear for anyone reading this, the only thing I did was make an adapted HTML version of the official PDF file for people who don't like to use PDF files. The page originally wasn't even going to have the manual on it: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/181020-i-just-bought-one-and-have-a-few-thoughts/page__p__2269074#entry2269074 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to get a "harmony" cartridge "preloaded" with all the games? Just download ROM's collection, add it to the SD card, and you'll have all the originals that have been dumped. It takes only about 10 minutes to do it all. It is simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
