MrGonker Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hello, I wonder if anyone could please help me. I just received a new harmony cartridge the deluxe one with a SD card with software on it which i purchased from the harmony site about 2 weeks ago. I have a Pal 2600 junior which works fine with my Atari cartridges but when i try the harmony cartridge all I get is a black screen and no menu.I read on here that some say to reload the cartridge firmware so i tried to do that. When i connect to it to my pc it shows that the device is unknown and has malfunctioned. I loaded the drivers from the memory card and it still says device unknown so i am not able to change the firmware on the cartridge to pal50. I have plugged the cartridge in all 4 usb ports and only got it once to say it was connected on the harmony update programming but when i then tried to update all i got was the updater has stopped responding. I have tried 4 different usb cables I have and it still says device unknown. I sent Batari a message but have not yet had a reply. Will it be the cartridge that's failed? Or is there a problem with the 2600 junior? My pc also is on Windows XP so is that the reason it won't see the cartridge plugged into the USB? I'm in the UK so is there an option to return the cartridge for a replacement? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 XP (which you really should get rid of ASAP) has numerous problems with USB, especially when your computer has a lot of USB ports. Please try on a different computer. BTW: I sure hope you were not posting this from a Windows XP with Internet access. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cd-w Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 This suggests an issue with your joysticks - what kind are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
