Tempest Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I was just going through the roms and throwing out the ones I don't need when I noticed that the multi-load Supercharger titles have two sets of files. One where it's broken out into separate loads, and one where they're (I assume) combined. If I'm using a CC2 do I only need the one file? Also what's this 2600 Screen Search Console stuff? I see a lot of those roms in here. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a lot of those roms in here. Tempest I don't own a CC2, but if you're able to enter all parts of a one file Supercharger ROM, you can remove the seperate loads. Please ask Nukey or Omegamatrix for further details on that one. The 2600 Screen Search Console ROMs are ROMs found on a VCS clone that are slightly different then the original versions (logo removed or replaced, graphic hacks or different scanline count). Your choice to remove these, but some of them are quite interesting, like the Chopper Command hack. Same goes for the 208 in 1 cart ROMs. Edited July 26, 2009 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some I know because I followed that thread, but there are several I'm not familiar with like the 6 or 7 different Rush Hour roms. To the best of my knowledge there's only one proto and one fixed rom (sold at CGE). Where did all those other ones come from?

sandmountainslim Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 What blows a goat is I am UNABLE to download any rom's and save them to my computer to play so I have to just bookmark and play games with Stella while online. Everytime I try to open a rom which I have saved on my computer it says "Not a valid Winzip application" in a big assed dialog box and pisses me off. I dunno what causes it but appartenly my machine will not save and play them like everyone elses. Wp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CC2 should be able to pickup the next load automatically as long as all of the loads are in the games folder you run your CC2menugen against.

What do I need to do differently? Wp Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Wp You've had this problem in the past, and unfortunately it seems you're still having problems with it. You need to unzip the ZIP file first, before you even use Stella. Unzipping will extract all the files in the ZIP archive to some place on your hard drive. Then you point Stella towards that directory, and select a game from within the Stella UI. You shouldn't have ZIP fles set up to automatically open in Stella. They should be set up to open with WinZIP or some other ZIP archival program. And you probably shouldn't associate .a26 or .bin files with Stella either. It's best to use the internal file browser in Stella to select a game, instead of relying on Windows Explorer. Again, to reiterate, you shouldn't associate ZIP files with Stella. Stella does have the ability to open ZIP files, but it will only use the first ROM it finds in the archive. This was added as a convenience since many ROMs released on AtariAge are zipped, one ROM per zipfile. This support was never meant to be used to browse a zipfile that contains multiple ROMs. The correct procedure is to unzip it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerG Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) By the way, Rom's entire collection and the other one of hacks and homebrews both go on a SD card and fire right up on the Harmony. It is incredible having hundreds of 2600 games to scroll through and then hit play. Edited October 11, 2009 by RangerG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
