Hi. Thanks for the couple of members who tried to assist with my sound issues. For the record, I just received a NOS Pokey chip, installed into the Concerto cartridge, and voila, I have sound! Somehow the working Pokey chip I removed from an old 5200, must have gone bad (though, I still am puzzled about that)? Anyway, I haven't had the opportunity to test everything, but all is good in the world right now for me. Thanks again!

Hi Mitch. I guy named Jesse moded my 7800. He is very active on AA. The guy is no slouch, he knows his stuff. Plus, my regular Commando cart works fine, just not on the Concerto. Just checked the thread and I have the Pokey installed correctly, as I assumed. I guess I'll have to wait and see if the replacement chip works once it arrives. Stanger things have happened but not counting on the chip being the issue. We shall see.

Hi, thank you for responding! The 7800 has the UAV mod so I am not using the standard RF. Is the mod uncompatible with Concerto? Unfortunately, I now longer have the 5200 I pulled the chip from. It was a 2 port with a Terrible case but functional. I used the power plug and some other components to mod my 4 port 5200 with the UAV. I ordered another Pokey to try on the cart. Do you know what the correct direction to install the Pokey chip? I tried installing it right side up and upside down, with luck. Maybe I damaged the chip if I installed it in the incorrect direction. Absolutely no quide on which direction the chip should be installed.

Hi Mitch. I got the Trevor Rom pack and the games work, just without Pokey sound. I ended up buying another chip. I am not going to be happy if the cart is the issue. +$100 for an empty shell. I bought the SD card and loaded the recommended Roms. It could be the Pokey chip but it would be really bizarre if it just stopped working.

Hi group. I apologize if there was a earlier post but I just received the concerto cart and having Pokey sound issues. The issue is: it is not working at all. The Pokey chip I installed was from a working 5200, (at least last year it was). Can anyone let me know if I am missing something? The games load, just not the Pokey sounds. For example; Comanndo works but only the sound effects are present. I tried the Pokey utility and it recognizes the chip but does not play any sound. I was just hoping if someone here go lend assistance before having to find a replacement chip. I have included a picture of the Pokey installed. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the help! I deleted and re-added the Pitfall ROM and she worked. I guess that the physical cartridges are in need of some serious cleaning.

Yeah, I am at a total loss. I understand the cartridge needing to be cleaned but when the bin file is not working...i just don't get it.

I was calibrating my 5200 controllers last night using the internal adjust knob and was using Missile Command and Pitfall from my Atari Max Cart to test the operation. Later in the evening, I tried to load Pitfall again and it would not load. I happen to own two physical Pitfall cartridges and tested them neither would not load. Does anyone happen to know what the issue could be? I have a 4-port Atari and all the other 5200 roms and cartridges seem to work fine. Thank you in advance. Brian

I would really love a version of Smash TV with the use two controlled coupler.

Lol! I never realized the controller cords were supposed to be wrapped around the the joystick either! Shows you how much I read manuals.

I would like a copy also if it is still available.

I would certainly buy a full set!
