Hello, I bought an Atarimax SD for colecovision and I have a big problem. The card freezes a lot at startup and I need to reset / turn on&off the console a lot of time to have the card ok. I tested with another atarimax cartridge (the one from another guy at a french convention) and it works fine. So I don't think it is a problem with my console. Here are 2 screens showing the problem : What can I do to avoid this problem ?

I tested as I replied in my email. Same issue, can't boot anymore the cartridge, it stays on the same screens with same issues :'( ... I also tested with another miniSD card, same issue ... In your mail, there was no boot_flash upgrade, was it normal (I think this is the reason why the bootscreen is still with the v20100706'. What can I do now ?

As you talked by email, I sent you back the Atarimax SD. You have the tracking number inside mail.

Another firmware update is available to address this problem. When you receive your new cartridge, press '*' at the menu and verify the installed firmware versions are: Hardware: 20141104 Boot Flash: 20150207 Menu: 20141102 Firmware: 20141102 If they are less than those listed above, and you are experiencing problems getting past the 'Searching for Cartridge' screen, please e-mail me for a copy of the latest beta firmware update at classics@atarimax.comThanks, Steve

It looks like the firmware/boot rom update does fix this issue. If you run into any further problems please let me know.

Hi Steve, I also have the freezing screen problem at startup. I use to get around this by letting the Colecovision run for 15 minutes before playing it which worked ok. Its been over a year since i have played it because it has been in storage. If i email you could please send me the firmware that resolves this issue?
Cheers

Steve,
I have tried to reach you via email, but had no reply. I've looked up this topic and see that I have the exact same problem - cartridge stuck on "Searching for cartridge". Pressing cartridge's Reset button cycles through several other messages, pressing Reset on Colecovision does not solve the problem. Occasionally I've managed to get it running, but I cannot tell what should be done to do that.
Best regards, Helga.
