All the 2600 roms I have so far fit fine on a old 256mb SanDisk SD card with plenty of room to spare. Now that I found Rom Hunters collection site I'll proably have to find a 1-2 gig.

I think every known 2600 rom will fit on a 32 mb card, probably less than that. Even if you organize them several ways, you will not need bigger than that 256mb.

Got my Harmony cart yesterday. Plugged it in to a 7800 and it works like a charm. Really nice piece of hardware/firmware. It's nice to buy something that works straight out of the box.

Thanks a lot.

Got mine today... easy to get up and running... even switch between development and menu mode. Great job! Looking forward to the next iteration of this great piece of hardware!

So we plugged the Harmony in... and the first thing I noticed was the sound - the games weren't just sounding better, they were sounding exactly like I remembered them, and playing like I rembered them. And on an old television, looking exactly like I remembered them.

Playing the games now became an experience which triggered rich memories associated with the precise audio visuals and interactive stimuli that had initially accompanied them. Made it feel like the 70's and the 80's again! Thanks for the magic :)

If you haven't got one yet, BUY IT! You'll pat yourself on the back later.

I just recieved mine today and all I can say is WOW!!!!

A GIANT THANK YOU to all involved in the creation of this wonderful device. I would also like to say thanks to RomHunter for the excellent job of consolidating all the rom's in one download file on his website. The work you put into organizing them into catagories (just for this harmony cart, I assume because of the name of the folder) must have been very tideous. Within 15 minutes I was able to dowload the file, copy to the SD cart and play the games. That also shows how user friendly the harmony cart is!

This one cart made my Atari Arcade Cabinet complete and I never have to re-open a delicate Atari box again just to play a game!

This might just make me get off my butt and learn some batari basic so I can play my own programs on the real deal....................

I just got my MicroSD version of the Harmony cart in the mail earlier this week. This is one fine piece of engineering. Now I need to update my Atari to use a connection better than RF!

Here's a HUGE thank you to the entire team responsible for the AWESOMENESS that is the Harmony cart. I had some issues with my first cart (it wouldn't fit without a lot of help), but I've got an older six switch and this can happen. The team sent me a super quick replacement (didn't even require me to mail this one back; at one point, I had TWO in my possession...that's something VERY rare to see, and I sure know I wouldn't do the same, given the amount of flakes out there), and this one worked quite a bit better but I wasn't satisfied with the cosmetics of the case. So, one last replacement (again, superquick and this time I sent back the first two) and it arrived today and is EVERYTHING it should be.

What a truly amazing piece of gear, and a great group of developers. Special thanks to Batari for taking the time to deal with my concerns personally, I really appreciate it.

I can't recommend it enough, even though getting it to fit in my machine was tricky. It's definitely worth it, considering the fact they have like four different types of Atari to get it to work with. And with customer service like this, even if you do have an issue, the team will make things right.

KUDOS to you all!
