Thanks everyone for inquiring, yes it went very quickly. It is sold and shipped.

Cartridge has been sold.

Just posted, check the Marketplace

For sale a Harmony Encore cartridge with a 8GB microsd card loaded with Atari games and Homebrew. $70 plus $3 for shipping US buyer only-Paypal any questions please PM me

Re-phased: I have decided to sell my concerto, It does not come in a plastic cartridge shell. If you want this you have to sacrifice a game cartridge and drill/dremel the slots.( See Cosmic Stardust earlier posting, he made his own shell) This is the PCB version. PM me or see my Marketplace ad here on AA. The concerto works fine and with the proper 7800 (see ad) plays 90% of all Atari and Homebrew files.

Yes for the little bit I've played with it has been very enjoyable. I just don't have much time for thing now so I'd rather someone make good use of it. Mine is not the 1.3, I see that have made some minor changes. Mine does not have the MIDI Ports. I can post some pictures but is is a small metal box with a couple lights , buttons and a lot of ports! Someone has developed Russian Home Computer cores for it..I think that is cool. And more Arcade ports too.

CPUWIZ, not sure what you are talking about, is it something with the physical layout of the circuit board? I just meant to say mine in not in a game cartridge case.

If they were on the disk I don't remember seeing them...I am glad to see you have started on it....Yea!!!!!!

I may just wait SainT to announce his product to the world if Batari doesn't post an update soon. I am getting very tempted to simply cut the extra pins off my Concerto and use it as an Encore. If SainT does produce a 7800 flash cart, it will be up to him to make it dedicated 7800 or allow 2600 ROMs to play on it as well. Given how mature the Harmony is, it would not be a bad thing to have two flash carts, a Harmony for 2600 games, and a SainT flash cart for 7800 games. That way SainT would not be stepping on Batari's toes by copying the Harmony portion. I think a partnership would be great, but that is wishful thinking I'm afraid. IMO if Batari is unable or unwilling to continue this project for whatever reason, then he should pass the code off to someone who will... AGREE WITH KOSMIC 100%

I just purchased one from Dragonbox.de (Germany) great price, cheap shipping and excellent service. I have been trying out lots of the Console cores and computers. Works great , my Flat screen has VGA input and audio input via 3.5mm jack so works great with the MIST. Still learning all about it.

eebuckey, don't know where you got the understanding that the Harmony Encore can only play one game. It can plays hundreds of 2600 games, atari releases, home-brews, hacks etc. The encore is a finished product and works well. Fred did an excellent job on it! The Concerto was a beta that he sold for 7800 games. It didn't wok at all on my original 7800. I picked up a cosmetically ugly one but it sure works pretty well with the concerto (About 90%) mine does not like the pokey installed, it stops the games from fully loading. There may be only two official Atari games that use the Pokey but a lot of home-brew. Agree with StarshipUK a quick post would be great but haven't heard from him in over three months.

The fact that everything works when you have it hooked up to your LCD TV, makes me think you may have problem with your TV and nothing wrong with 2600. Can you try on another CRT? It iS also possible that you have PAL (Europe and other countries) not NTSC (US) cartridges for those games. Pal carts are programmed for 50Hz TV not 60Hz (us) It would cause problems on a CRT but not a LCD. Provide more info on TV hookup, set etc. if possible.

Did not realize your problem was with just two cartridges or I also would have given you a different suggestion? What are the two cartridges? Could be the cart connector or the games themselve

Have to agree with Toilettunes your mileage will vary with Concerto. I too had to get another 7800 to use it and it plays about 90% OK. Unlike Toiletunes, mine does not work with Pokey installed. It stops the loading process on most games. Anyways its been a long time since we have heard from Fred and people are starting to sell there Concertos. There is also hope that SaintT will have a working cartridge eventually. Fred, we would really like a quick update. Any word would be appreciated.

Never had a problem with my 5200. It is a two port with a LHE Composite/S-Video A/V mod. Adding the Atarimax SD cart lets me instantly load original, lots of conversions and home-brews quickly without a disk drive. The Trac Ball makes for some great gaming. I have two Best refurbished controllers and one i refurbished myself using best part. All work great no problem. Two of my favorite games, Necromancer and Rainbow Walker were converted to 5200 by wrathchild and are one my AtariMax for instant loading. I have no problem with my CX52 controllers but as others have said there are a few alternatives if you want something different.

Hank here is a cheap eBay listing for the 3.579545 MHZ Crystal (XTAL) http://www.ebay.com/itm/3pcs-Abracon-AB-MicroProcessor-Crystal-3-579545-MHZ-20ppm-HC49-metal-can-/252818630431?hash=item3add2a271f:g:OBUAAOSw4GVYReWU or search for this description: 3.579545 MHZ Crystal (XTAL)

Yes, that is it. You won't find it at Radio Shack. Try DigiKey and Mouser (both mail order) or maybe Console5 (mail order) The grey covering is just heat shrink with the printing on it, if you cut that away (no need to) you would find a metal can. It is soldered in with two leads.

I do not own a four switch or any 2600 at the moment. The oscillator can be check with a frequency counter or scope but they are both expensive pieces of equipment. I would just replace the part. It is not that expensive. Look for a small metal part with part of the frequency stamped on it. Once you think you've found it take a picture and i can verify you have the right part. you might see XTAL or X101 or X??? on the circuit board. Any help from a 4 switcher in locating the crystal? photo?

I think you have a crystal oscillator that is not always starting up. I would replace the crystal. It is 3.599575 MHZ and can be purchased for digikey , mouser etc.

ARCADE GAMES!!! I could never own 2000 arcade cabinets but I have then on my PI and they play accurately.

Retropie will let me play games and systems Ill never own. I can switch from system to system in the blink of an eye. No dirty cart connectors or RF or composite video or region problems. No boxes of carts to search through. It also has HDMI output for compatibility with modern TV. There will always be purist and collectors but I like to play the games (instead of collecting boxes and cartridges) and I have so many systems and games in a small package, what not to like?
