kamphuna8 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I have had a Harmony Encore cart for about 3 and a half years (ordered July of 2018) and it almost always showed the SD Card Initialization error message but with some fiddling, or switching Ataris, I could usually get it to work, usually with some rapid on off of the Power switch. Within the last 6 months or so it got to be a real struggle, and seemed to only work once (per sit down session of playing Atari), then when I had to power it off to switch games it would just show the SD initialization error. I wasn't sure what the issue was, and also wanted to get one of my Ataris recapped and modded to output RGB ( I got the Tim Worthington 2600RB kit ) and I use a SNES multi out, using HD Retrovision component cables to a Trinitron). Yesterday I got the modded Atari back ( a heavy 6er that says Tele Games) and tried it and still showed the same thing, never got to work. I then tried the Bios Firmware update as I had seen in the manual and per this post as this post seemed to match my issues the most with what this poster was describing I used the USB tool to download and Copy the Bios several times and used the original SanDisk 8GB card I had been using plus a Kingston 32GB micro housed in a SD card adapter. Ever since I tried to use the tool, it shows a new message saying Boot Update Tool at the top and then SD Card Initialize Error, whether I have an SD card in the Cart or not. I've attached the error messages. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you kamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Have you tried a different SD card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamphuna8 Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 I've tried several. I did order a new one and it works like a charm. Seems like the first one SD Card slot needs fixing or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
