    It's older and more universally compatible with older software and firmware of small size - files smaller than 1GB. I think the 32kb sector size is a happy medium for rom files so you're not wasting memory, but not spreading it out over dozens of sectors. If the Quick Format of win10 doesn't work, which it usually will, I try the FAT32_GUI formatter. I found I also have the SD formatter just mentioned, so that's another option.

    Ok, thanks so much. It is clear.

    I tried it but no luck on my 7800 with BIOS upgraded.

    The other unit without the bios appears to be working with the same issues with few games noted by others above. 
     

    POKeY sound is a bit softer but maybe it is the UAV mod. Or the TV.  
     

    thanks a lot!

    Unfortunately, we did find there was a large amount of variation in compatibility with different board revisions with the Concertos old build. I think that’s been reduced a lot, but seems it could still be an issue. 

     

    Have you tried it with and without POKEY installed?

    Hi, thanks! No pokey installed. I am going to try using a 32GB SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDHC Memory Card and POKEY chip, as suggested ^

    Works absolutely fine on my NTSC 7800 with the universal  bios installed 

    No in my unit. I tested the concerto in a different 7800 and works fine.....so all being equal, I am guessing the OS is the problem

    @Swami Did you opt for the Universal NTSC/PAL BIOS with built-in Asteroids mod ("7800 Euro Operating System Upgrade") for your Best 7800 console?  The cartridge itself will not run at all on such a unit (I have both the cart and a Best Electronics mod with OS upgrade), but just the ROM image itself on a 'flash cart', I have not tried.

     

    Will Concerto work on a unit with the OS Upgrade?My unit has it. 

    Starts up to flashing color screens and then loads the CONCERTO menu.   I cannot seem to be able to load any games, all freeze at different %. I tried 3 different SD cards so far. Firmware 0.95 updated properly.  

     

    Any thoughts? thanks!

    Latest official production status, general information, downloads and manuals should be available on the website by “Collectorvision” for the public. Like any other product in market.
    Anyone could have access to it. Single point, easier to update.

     

    Hopefully, this happens in the future.

     Thanks

    Attached is a list of 7800 games, including original releases, homebrews, and prototypes, that are impacted by the difficulty switches on the front of the console. The four possible configurations are noted along with a short description of their effect to the game.

     

    The below will be updated, as new games are developed that utilize the difficulty switches, and of course for any corrections or additions from the current library of games:

    Apologies for my ignorance, what could you achieve by adding the pokey to the concerto?

    Would it be able to replicate Commando, Ball Blazer or such games sounds?

     

     Thanks!

    It's nothing personal to you, but 80% of this thread is literally about the lack of people reading previous posts. 

     

    Even in the last post or two by Batari not too far in the distant past, he mentions a hope of outsourcing some of the work to create more quickly, understanding there is a high demand for something like this given the lack of adoption from bigger romcart producers (even saint is hoping to look into it in the future, kritzz probably doesn't have anything coaxial based in the radar ever). 

     

    He said he would have some up Sunday night, he got some up Sunday night. Because I'm stupid, I literally stayed up all night in the hopes of grabbing one 3rd time lucky. Others can't do this, which is understandable, and Batari recognises this and is trying to do something about it. 

     

    You can use the search function inside topics to find posts from other users. Batari is the only person you need to read from, the rest of us might be just making jokes at your expensive (CPUWIZ makes some great corker posts, BTW). 

    Alright, fair enough. Thanks!
