Greg2600 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I'm only wondering if someone out there but consider doing a Pokey installation, if batari leaves a spot for it. Otherwise, I can do without the cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horseboy Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I'm only wondering if someone out there but consider doing a Pokey installation, if batari leaves a spot for it. You had to have left a word or two out because this sentence makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Friedel Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I will be putting away some cash for this one. This will go nice with the Genesis multi-cart and the Harmony. Very nice! Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to have left a word or two out because this sentence makes no sense. He only wants to buy the H2 if it has a pokey chip in it to play games like Ballblazer, Commando and Beef Drop.

Greg2600 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Yes, I thought it made sense, except I used the word but instead of might. I have Ballblazer and Commando carts, but Beef Drop no, and Pac-Man Collection recently went to pokey, too. Plus I might sell most of my games if I got this. And I can't bring myself to spend $200 on the 7800 for both this flash cart and the expansion module. I love flash carts, the expansion is cool, but for to make good use of it, it will take a good deal of dough. I'm perfectly okay with batari not wanting to go down the road of installing a pokey on his carts, but I was disappointed that the expansion had everything but a flash-cart function.

Dauber Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 OMG, I missed the original Harmony thread...and somehow I missed the H2 thread!!! Wow...if you're keeping a list, put me on the list for this thing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Rice Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 For the production run, will it still be SD or something smaller like microSD. I just had to ask because it seems you would have the same problem as the CC2 with the port being prone to damaged. If it will be SD, the H2 support MMC cards? I would like to use a RS-MMC instead of full length SD cards to protect the port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to use a RS-MMC instead of full length SD cards to protect the port. I am using a quality push-push SD socket and full-sized cards fit deeply, nearly flush with the shell. Furthermore, the socket has a metal frame, not plastic, and is securely anchored. There is no risk of damage like some have reported with the CC2. That said, I don't think a RS-MMC will work at all as it would be buried within the shell and you'd need some sort of implement just to get it out. Also, MMC cards may not even be electrically compatible with H2 so a RS-MMC might not work even if you did jam one in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underball Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 If it's similar to the sd slot on the original Harmony, it's just fine. It goes way inside and no risk of damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 It is exactly the same slot as the original Harmony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Ok heres a dumb couple of questions, if I wanted to play 2600 games and 7800 games would I have to buy a h1 cart for the 2600 games and a h2 for 7800 or just the h2 it would do both, if the 7800 h2 cart can not do both what is the difference between the h1 standard and deluxe? Also to get the games on the 2600 or 7800 you take the zipped or unzipped bin files from online and put them on the cart and its that simple it works? Or how about dont ask questions it comes with a manual just but the thing already. But I will need to buy a sd card and a card reader to put the files on the sd card as there is no usb on the cart right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The difference afaik between standard and deluxe models of the Harmony cartridge is that the deluxe model comes with a printed manual, a USB cable and a 2GB preloaded SD card to use with it. But you're right, you can only run ROMs off the SD card, the USB connection is just for updating the firmware if you desire. The H2 should be just like the CC2, and run both 2600 and 7800 games fine. You can get the online manual for the Harmony here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaracs Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Is there an ETA of this fantabulous device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I love my CC2, but I haven't updated it in ages. Primarily because of having to run that program to create the "funky" CC2 files. I kept hoping that Chad would update the firmware again to get around that, but it never happened. Glad to hear the Harmony 2 won't have that problem and I'm excited to see it in action!

+batari Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 We're on the third board revision. I've upgraded to a 25% faster MCU with twice the storage, improved the backup boot system, and now have dual-footprint for the regular SD card slot or an optional microSD slot (microSD is also for future-proofing in case the supply of SD slots goes dry.) Still working on firmware. When we have a demo or screenshots, we'll post them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
