rietveld Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Is it possible to launch the hard drive BOOT binary from a colecovision cart? I burned the boot ROM on to an EPROM but it did not work. I am not sure if my. Bin is bad or if this is just not possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rietveld Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 I burned the same binary on to an EPROM for my MIB card and it works fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearsoe Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 The expansion ROM binary is in a different format than a cartridge ROM so you can't just launch the expansion ROM BIN as if it was a cartridge ROM. You probably could create a cartridge that would boot the hard drive if one doesn't exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
