SPIKE Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Encore cart just arrived today. I loaded my old SD card into the new Encore cart and everything seems to work. However...the .bin for Pac-Man 8k will NOT show up in the menu. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help!

Thomas Jentzsch Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Is the file extension really '.bin'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPIKE Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Is the file extension really '.bin'? that's what was in the download. a .bin file. i did try renaming the extension a few times for the Harmony cart but it just doesn't show up.

+DrVenkman Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Is it perhaps loading into the menu at the very bottom of the file list? Typically, files added to SD cards do not "auto alphabetize" in the Harmony menu. For that reason, when I add files to a folder on my SD card, I usually just delete the folder contents and re-write everything over again to get a correctly-alphabetized list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either re-write the entire folder or utilize a utility like DriveSort. If not, check the very bottom (or very top) of the listed ROM files for newly added ones. Page 5 of the manual, under the second FAQ, touches on this matter as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
