+bcombee Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm wondering if it would be possible to have a future version of the Harmony BIOS support a demo mode. Right now, if you name your ROM "AUTORUN", it will run automatically on startup. What I'd love to see is the ability to put a collection of ROM images in a "DEMO" folder and have the Harmony run each for a set period of time, then switch to the next one. Maybe the ROM name could also have a second duration at the end -- "demo1_60s.bin", e.g. I believe that's possible, since the ARM in the unit can switch the instruction stream to one that does a bunch of BRKs followed by resetting the 2600 to a known state, then starting the new image. Any interest in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draugr Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think it is a good idea. Would be great for displays and such. Then when you press the button on the joystick, the cart reverts back to the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
