I am loving the Harmony cart so far. GREAT product. A few ideas for the menu though. A small color calibration chart somewhere. not a big deal, but just for convenience. Easy to see what colors are off, but I suppose loading up a diagnostic cart ROM would do that too. It's these new LED TVs that seem to be so OFF on the color. I had to pump up the color setting to max to get what I would get on a normal CRT set. Slow scrolling on the file names. I know you can't fit all the text on there, but if it's possible to be scrolled (to the left, like a marquee) as is file is selected, I could see which version the ROM is. useful for those old ROM sets where the file names are ridiculously long. A back button function if using a Genesis game pad. Again, no big deal, but could help when dealing with a lot of nested directories. I know the top . in the FAT directory goes back, but if I'm deep in the folder, I have to go all the way to the start to go back. I love how the paddle can work the menu too. that's some amazing work. I was worried to death about how to play paddle games on the thing, but seeing that I could still navigate the menu with it helped a lot.

Hearing this makes me rage inside. this is the worst downside to new TVs, they try to "fix" the signal too much and a lot of detail is lost. NES games will sometimes have sprites with lines through them. it beats all I have ever seen. Did anyone test these tvs?

Oh wow. that actually sounds playable. Pong with a fuse? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_(game)

This thread calls out for RT. Where are you, RT? I use a gamepad because I'm a wuss. I have a red joystick with trigger on the top if I use a stick.

I played beamrider at Kmart for like 2 hours until my mom got me to take me home.

amaaazziiinggg. This is awesome. I can do C for ARM, as that's what my hobby is. can't wait to get started.

You know you're a collector when you don't even know what all you got.

It might be my shoddy memory, but I remember the "broken" latter positions changing from game to game. Also, when the barrels are coded in, this really will take off. that was the most fun part about the first level... well, that and the hammer!

Exactly. They're tired of Infogrames, and now they'll get protection whilst doing so. Maybe Atari will actually be Atari again. Who knows?

Atari is moving to the mobile phone market. This is a good thing.

...hahahahahaha So it was pronounced just like "hivv" and not "the human immunodeficiency virus"?

I played a Rogers Z80 organ for about 5 years. I assume there are more instruments out there using the Z80 that I don't know about. I know Yamaha used the Motorola 6800 in their DX series, and the 6502 in cheaper FM synth keyboards. So for single-purpose applications, either one works.

that might be what's going on. now that I make sure I shoot clear through the thing, I'm having no problem. Perhaps that is what I should do..

There is something I wanted to bring up and I wanted to know if it's just me. Sometimes on a small asteroid, I cannot manage to hit it. That is, the bullets seem to pass through on the top side of the asteroid. on some of the higher levels when they're everywhere, I noticed this about twice. only once has it ended up in me dying (since I didn't have hyper on) but it's just something odd. I guess it's the fixed set of angles the ship can rotate, but I really don't know.

If I could change anything on the title screen, I'd add DPC music somehow. Edit: I just tested this on the Harmony, my CRT isn't showing that "third color" from the flicker as I had thought it would on DK's chest. Looks like it depends on the tube.

I just got mine yesterday. Played the heck out of it. THANK YOU!
