+batari Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The of the very first production Harmony carts will be in the hands of users shortly, so this is time for a new BIOS release. Production Harmony carts come with 1.03 BIOS installed. This BIOS also works with any preproduction or prototype Harmony carts. Changes include: * Fix for directory truncation bug * 7800 pause button to stop colour cycling * PAL 7800 console fix (those with the built-in Asteroids game will fail to detect Harmony and run Asteroids) * AUTORUN file support * Support for production Harmony carts * File extension forcing now works * Improved paddle handling in main menu If you are using a production Harmony cart, you must use this BIOS (or any newer BIOS as they are released.) Do not install any older BIOS on a production Harmony cart as it won't work properly. hbios103c.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzbard Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks batari! I wonder if it would be possible to get a Harmony sub forum going here so we can find updates and info in one consistent place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Having a static source would be a good idea, but the new topics that pop up like this are good enough for regular users. BTW: 1.03 works great with my 7800. Thanks once again for the support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a problem with earlier bios versions. The harmony now works fine with pal 7800 consoles. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can help? greetings walter Can you let me know: Which version of the Harmony do you have (prototype or production)? Is the BIOS update successful, or does it fail even to update the BIOS? Did the card work before you did the bios update? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
