Maybe I should start a GoFundMe page! This will join my VecFlash and Jaguar Skunk Board. All I really want after this one is one for a ColecoVision and maybe the NES. The Concerto is the one to have for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Stamos Mullet Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Mine was supposed to be delivered today, but the status is now saying "in transit - delayed- your items will be arriving later than planned." the only transit checkin it has listed is he initial acceptance at the PO in Oregon. I'm in Massachusetts. I think my Concerto just died of dysentery on the reverse Oregon Trail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lectronimo Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Mine was supposed to be delivered today also. Was accepted in Oregon a week ago and said it was on schedule for delivery in Arizona today. The status did change today but now it's in Washington near Seattle, so it took a detour north. Grrrrr. Reverse Oregon trail for real! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TwentySixHundred Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Awesome piece of hardware, i would order one but i haven't a 7800. Unfortunately where i live is PAL50 land and 7800's are rare, so i just have to make do with emulation. Anyway im happy for the community and hope everyone enjoys their Concerto flash carts ?

Just want to make sure I haven't missed an email or deleted something by accident. Sorry to bug you. Some 12/9 carts have gone out but not all yet. I am working on getting the SD card fixes validated before the next batch ships so that the Concertos will work with cards people already have. Menu version 0.95 includes these fixes and it has been tested on my end, but am waiting on independent evaluation before I ship any carts with the newest firmware. So they will start shipping again by tomorrow. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Is there anything to be considered when using the Concerto for a PAL 7800 other than using PAL ROMs? As the Harmony worked like a charm on PAL I always assumed that would be true for Concerto as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The menu works with both PAL and NTSC so there is just one firmware for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverse Oregon trail for real! Same thing here. Salem to Portland Metro via Tacoma, WA. I could have walked down and picked it up from Batari directly in less time. Here's hoping for Christmas Eve delivery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine went to Kent, WA for a day yesterday, and then somehow magically made it from there to my house in less than 12 hours.

5l4k3r Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I received my Concerto today. I Installed a Pokey and then updated to the .95 firmware as soon as I opened the package. It passed all the RAM tests and works flawlessly on my A1/w Expansion port, UAV S-Video modded 7800 with an older Transend 32GB SD Card. I also have a LHE modded A3, and a bone stock A1/wo Expansion port systems. I plan to test it out on those in the next couple days and will report any issues in the firmware thread. Thanks again for this awesome hardware Batari! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+groundtrooper Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Mine was shipped the 15th. It was scanned in Portland on the 16th and has been MIA since then. It hasn’t been scanned in over a week. [emoji3525]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred mentioned fixing the issue with newer carts that went out. 5l4k3r just recently receiving his cart, already has one with the fix in place. Fred also related, "...for the small number of carts out there without the fix, there are plans to improve the Harmony programming software to work around the communication issue. For now, though, try removing the POKEY, do the update then reinsert." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I always use my trusty EX-2 IC chip remover, I worry that if I continue to add/remove, I may damage a pin or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
