Which update did you run? I tried to run the .BIN that was in the official post and my UNO just says invalid file when I try to run it? I have the UCA firmware loaded up in mine so not sure if that part of the issue now or what?

 

Is there a newer UCA version that has the v18 build in it yet?

This update is for the original UnoCart firmware, not for the UCA firmware.

Guess that is why it comes up with invalid file when I tried to run it recently?

 

Will there be an update to the UCA version soon?

Hi @-^CrossBow^- any chance you tested your UNO2600 + UCA fw on NTSC 7800? I have a The Brewing Academy made one.
 

More details here :

Unfortunately MacRorie has been busy and so far has not had the time to test on an NTSC 7800.

 

Mine has a longhorn eng video mod + timing capacitor snip fix in case it makes any difference.

My UNO 2600 was also purcased from TBA a number of years ago. I do have the 2.1.7 UCA FW on mine and it has worked without issue? The problem now, is that since it is running the UCA, it won't take this new v18 build as it just gives an Invalid File error when trying to run it. So I have to wait until the UCA build is updated with v18 in it.

 

Are you not able to get any version of the UCA FW working on yours? I'm pretty sure I did the initial update listed for it, and then was able to do further updates thereafter just running the file off my SD card?

I can update to UCA just fine and downgrade as well, but some games glitch badly on any UCA fw vs std v17 which is instead ok.

I was hoping you did extensive testing of UCA on 7800 NTSC to see if it is something maybe with my console. If I understand it correctly you have a few 7800 revisions available to you.

 

The post I linked above mentions a couple of 2600 games that glitch on UCA (any version) but work on v17 like Xenophobe, Phoenix and even DigDug. 
To add perspective I own Phoenix 2600 in cart form and it works fine on my 7800, same for unocart std v17 but any UCA fw instead has the game glitching, that’s the one actual cart I can directly compare on my 7800 (I do not own any true 2600 console or any other 7800 console to check against and then again only UCA fw shows the in game issues for at least those few titles, some other titles like Pitfall and Pitfall 2 seem to be fine under UCA so it’s not all of the games either).

Oh..okay I understand now. I honestly don't know as I only have about a dozen roms loaded on my UNO since I mainly use it in the lab to service consoles. But I can try and load those up into it and see what I get? I also have more than a few 2600s on hand right now that I can see if there is any difference in those games. Will be a bit later though before I can get to trying that out.
