Now, I'm chomping at the bit to get the Concerto cart! Is there any way I could get an update where I am in line? I also sent a PM a couple days ago. Thank you, and thank you for your work on this project - it is exactly what has been needed for the 7800 for a long time! Same here I pd and reserved and was just curious abt any update in case email was lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 I have had a few obligations in the past week that has slowed my progress on getting through the reservations, but I am back on it today and the rest of the week. Also, soon there will be some optional upgrades. For a little extra, you can choose a translucent case, and will get a clear label as well: 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cjherr Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Down the road, might the upgrades be available separately for those of us who already have their Concerto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, while the supplies last. I do have a fair number of them though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I would like to put myself on the $10 reserve list but the payment links do not seem to be working for me. I definitely want to get a Concerto when one is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 As he said a few days ago, Fred is probably too busy building carts and working on the firmware to pay much attention to the thread at the moment. When he set up the reservations system back in December, he also said he didn’t want to take more reservations than he could build in a month or so. I’m sure once he gets completely caught up he’ll open up reservations again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a collection of ROMs and tried Ballblazer and Commando. Ballblazer worked, but Commando only had the generic sound which was bizarre? Upon loading it did detect the POKEY sound for Ballblazer but not for Commando. So at least I put the chip in correctly. @ZihuaCode discovered that there are versions of the Commando ROM out there that do not have the correct bit set in the .A78 header. We're debating how to best handle that in Argon - we have a server side database and could flag/correct for that, but we'll see... We had a similar problem with .LNX files with incorrect display titles, incorrect orientation flags (portrait vs landscape, etc). In the meantime, as you found, if the bit is properly set in the file, you're golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular one has been discovered and rediscovered a few times... every time a new emulator or device with pokey comes along, someone reports that they get no pokey music in Commando.

Pretty sure this thread is folks concerned with the Concerto not whatever Argon is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this thread is folks concerned with the Concerto not whatever Argon is. The issue that I was responding to (A78 files that don't correctly report POKEY chip needed) is common to anything that works with A78 files -- Concerto (as well as Dragonfly probably) and emulators. A separate thread could be created if needed. Point taken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydro Thunder Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Missed this until just now...been dying for a 7800 multicart for years. Can't wait! Wish I could put in a reservation, but I totally understand there's only so much backlog being built up. Love that, the guy cares about the community and won't promise what he can't deliver ?

No, these are "only for his collection" remember? For those that have not been around long enough, when McGrail says "collection" he actually means "to sell on ebay". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
