Can I configure Harmony to boot directly into a game image

[trent]

I wan't to load a single game onto the harmony cart and have that game start at boot time. Is this possible?

[Thomas Jentzsch]

Yes, you can do that.

The manual doesn't explain exactly how to do this. I assume I just swap in my binary in place of the EEPROM loader?

NM I combed the forums some more and found the key is naming your rom AUTORUN.

Are you wanting to do this with, or without the SD card?

 

With the SD card you need to name the game to either AUTORUN or AUTOBIN, search this forum for more info on this.

 

You can also connect the Harmony cartridge to your computer using a USB cable, then use HarmonyCart to load a game without the need for an SD card. I've been using this to test Stay Frosty 2.

Thanks for the second bit of info, that is cool and will be really useful for testing!
