Mitkraft Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 So I just got my Harmony the other day and tried it out real quick. The first game I went to (because I've been dying to play it on real iron) was H.E.R.O.. Strange thing though: the game acted really bizzare! The right off the bat, the screen would change even on the first screen. Then as I went from one screen to the other 1) it wasn't the right screens and 2) they would change. I tried a couple of other games and they seemed fine. I know this is hard to explain so I'm hoping this is a known issue. The short of it is that even starting at level 1, the game looked more like a later level and also, you never reached the guy you needed to rescue. It was like an endless loop of screens. The more I try to describe this the more I think I'm going to have to take pics. I'll take some tonight but if this is a known issue feel free to say so. Thanks!

+SpiceWare Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 HERO works fine on my Harmony (not the Encore version though). It's possible you have a bad dump of HERO, have you tried it in Stella? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitkraft Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Oops, I forgot to put that in my initial post. I'm using the same rom I was using in stella and it worked fine there. I do have another version I downloaded from a different rom set. When I get home I'll try that one and see if it behaves the same. The bahaviour was so strange it didn't seem like a full on glitch or break, it seemed like a programmatic bug. I couldn't envision a scenario in my brain that would even make it behave the way it did but then again not familiar with Atari programming.

Aking Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 i had problems with both harmony carts with HERO on a 7800, not a single one on another prosystem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitkraft Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 I finally had a chance to test it on another system and it worked fine. So question is, what would make a game in a harmony cartridge start throwing the wrong screens? RIOT or CPU maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 First start with a known good dump for your tests. Use the one from this collection here, and then see if the problem persists. http://www.atarimania.com/rom_collection_archive_atari_2600_roms.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
