Some ideas for the menu.

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.

Solution already there. Just hold the button for a longer time and you will see the full filename.

Amazing!

Also a small text viewer for manuals and readmes would be cool. Not sure if it would even be doable, could just read the text directly off the disk and display it. probably not worth the effort.
