  1. It is really sad that Harmony Cartridge owners cannot play these games on real console. I remember I could run Draconian by Spiceware on my Harmony...
  2. Hi guys, The music in Pitfall II Lost Caverns is very repetitive and starts to get annoying soon. Unfortunately there does not seem to be an option to turn it off. I even tried 5200 version where it says in manual you can do it by using "#" but that does not seem to do anything either. Thanks for comments.
  3. I know it is 2021, but this is actually no longer true. As I was brought here by Google search let me say: it is stored in Documents\Stella in Windows 10.
  4. Well, the enemies would have to be positioned the same so that none of the players would have an advantage. I guess the maze is mirrored already. Another question: is there any room for another sprite?
  5. Reminds me of that miracle 32 in 1 cartridge that had screwed up "NTSC" games not even with wrong colors but unstable display as well! Officially released by Atari bundled with the system!
  6. It would be even better if it was a CRT thing... which I suppose isn't.
  7. Seems to me as America was kinda ahead of Europe as for what people considered to be the right amount of money to spent on a home computer. For instance the C-64 mentioned above - its disk drive unit was not that common in Europe as behind the waters, yet its cost was perhaps more than the C-64 system on its own!!! More or less I think it was mainly the C-64 that took away the market share of Atari (2600)...
  8. Wow, that train game looks fantastic. Very nice use of all those "Activision effects".
  9. It is a pity there are those timing problems with different TIA chips. Even games like Actionauts have these kind of issues. But always remember, it can be fixed in software and there are people over here capable of that. Many games have already been fixed for my Junior for example.
  10. Not really true when compared to the rubber ZX Spectrum... http://i.imgur.com/qrUnunj.jpg

    I bet their products don't even output the correct video modes as the original hardware. There are probably just those legacy interlaced modes found on PC cards with composite output. And of course with that HDMI nonsence, there will be huge lag. So what you get: incorrect video, delay.
  12. I am sorry to say that, but any joysticks based on micro switches are absolutely useless for home playing because of the noise they produce.
  13. When I got my Harmony cartridge back in 2013 I had to look for a micro SD card and the cheapest and smallest one on the market was a 2 GB Transcend so I got that. But the thing is that the collection of ROMs I have is 3.2 MBs so a micro SD card of around 5 to 10 MBs capacity is just what I would need really. But I doubt such a micro SD card even exists.
  14. Placing them to the back makes no sence. So many times you run into issues because so many games use them for various reasons. If they could make it with 4 of them on top, for sure they could have gone with 6 as well and with one board.
