Grausone Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hey, I was interested in purchasing the Harmony Cart. Found a great site for a vast amount of roms. I've downloaded them onto my desktop (mac user) into a folder. So from this point do I just drag the folder to my SD card, pop the SD card in the cart, and done? It is that easy? Just wanted to make sure that was the process before I go forward with purchasing the cart. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Yes, it is that easy (unless Apple is preventing it somehow ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Yep, that's it. Works just fine with my Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grausone Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks Thomas and Darrel, Also Space Rocks looks great, looking forward to purchasing that homebrew. Last question is can the rom names be renamed prior to opening them up on the cart on the VCS to play? I just want to rename some spelling mistakes I found in my roms. Best, G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The Harmony cannot edit anything. So you have to rename them on your computer. Also you should make sure that you copy them in alphabetical order, since the Harmony displays them in the order they were copied on the cart. Alternatively there are tools which can sort the files on the SD cart for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianC Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I definitely recommend Drivesort for sorting files. It's simple to use and works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Great thanks for the info! Can't wait to get this! By chance did you get THIS fine collection of 2600 roms? A very nice assortment with just about everything to get the most out of the Harmony cart in one go! http://www.atarimania.com/rom_collection_archive_atari_2600_roms.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 OSRG: Yes this is the one I downloaded! Is this the best collection you think? I think so, unless someone else cares to correct me (and provide a link to something better? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 The best collection of original games. Atarimania used to have a collection of homebrews (don't miss them!) too, but I cannot find it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianC Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 There's a collection of hacks and homebrews in this topic, but it's not up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grausone Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Awesome, thanks for all your tips! Definitely going to look for those homebrews too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bixler Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 By chance did you get THIS fine collection of 2600 roms? A very nice assortment with just about everything to get the most out of the Harmony cart in one go! http://www.atarimania.com/rom_collection_archive_atari_2600_roms.html Thank you so much for this link; my girlfriend has strongly hinted at getting me a Harmony Encore for Christmas, and I was hoping something like this existed so I can have access to the entire commercial VCS library. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
