I have a Hamony Cart so any point in still getting STARPATH SUPERCHARGER?

Well, with the Harmony you no longer NEED a Supercharger... But the Supercharger allows you to score major geek points when you set it up like I do:

 

-2600 connected to a Supercharger

-Supercharger connected to a laptop running wplaybin

-laptop networked via wifi to a server storing the ROMs

 

With this setup, the 2600 reminds me of the Voyager probe at the heart of V-ger (or a Rube Goldberg device).

 

 

I found the Supercharger (or Cuttle Cart) a more convenient way to test games on the real hardware during development, since otherwise you have to sneaker-net the files via flash cards. Maybe one day there will be a JIT-loader for Harmony that will allow developers to transfer their works in progress to the cart's volatile RAM while connected to the PC.

You can do that now, and through USB instead of an audio cable.

 

Look at the development tab in the programming software.

This would be way geeded out, how about using a XBOX 360 playing mp3s of wavs made with makewav stored on your Windows 7, then us an audio cable from your surround sound's headphone jack to the supercharger.
