[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbografx-16 & PC-Engine Reproduction Hucards Now for Sale!!!!]

So by the time you add a microcontroller, rom to hold the boot loader thingy, and additional rom for multiple games it'll look exactly the same as these and not cost any more?  Sweet!

You seems to speak about something you do not understand, so i will not spent time in technical explanation.
I've used and make code for few µC past years.
Like bankswitching for games or far more advanced things (mappers).
The main problem with a physical switch is its reliability...

With a very tiny pic you can make nice little things, like this compilation :

[Buy/Sell/Trade / "homemade" HuCARD for translations / homebrews/ repros]

Hi everybody.

Few years ago i've made some hucards.
Some members have bought them through ebay.


Now, a new version is available.
Much more "sexier" than the old one.


Two colors available black and white.
It's nearly a flashcard.
Can handle 1Mo/8mbits roms (depends on your soldered tsop eeprom)

They are 2 parts :
- the pcb "card"
- a laser cutted polypropylene mask, must be glued on the bottom side to achieve the right thickness.
Without it, the card can not work properly (as it does not make contact).

-

2 mask sizes available :
- "short", the card can be reprogrammed (with the mask glued)
- "full", the card can not be reprogrammed

The adapter is fully compatible with the GQ4x and Willem programmers.


TSOP eeproms compatible:

• 39SF020 (2Mbits /256ko)
• 29F040 (4Mbits / 512ko)
• 39SF040 (4Mbits / 512ko)
• 29F080 (8Mbits / 1Mo)

PS. Just in case :
for a 384ko game you'll need a 512ko eeprom
and for a 768ko game you will need a 1Mo eeprom.

Be careful, soldering skills are required : you'll need to solder TSOP chips!/b]


IMPORTANT *** UPDATE 02/2016

Concerning "MASK" (the polypropylen part)
Now you send to fab YOUR mask as it takes too much time to fab & ship them (takes 1 month last time to fab them...I prefer to stop)
Files are avaible on the bottom of this post (ready to send to fab)
You can make mask with Ponoko (USA), Formulor.de (Europe/Germany),...


Prices :

"DIY" CARDS (you will have to solder the tsop eeprom part),
price for pack of 5 cards. (no mask)

• x5 white card : 19$
• x5 black card : 24$

PRE-SOLDERED CARDS,
price for 1 card (no mask).

• x1 white card + 512ko : 6$
• x1 black card + 1Mo : 7$
• x1 white card + 512ko : 7$
• x1 black card + 1Mo : 8$

• Mask only : 1$ -- not available --
• Adapter : 8$

Prices are without shipping
Can be with or without tracking, insured...

FILES TO FAB THE MASK PART
- Card "long"

- Card "short"

- 1 complete sheet 384 x 384mm / 15.100x15.100 inches (7 "short" and 21 "long")

ps. Files are EPS Illustrator files.

Ponoko website  (USA/New Zealand):
ponoko.com/
Choose Delrin (0.032 inches)or PETG - Clear (0.039 inches) as material
(Acrylic seems not to have right thickness)

On Formulor* (Europe based on Germany)
formulor.de/
Choose Acrylic (1mm) or Polypropylen (0.8mm)

Payment : PayPal
- 120 cards of each color in stock
- laser cutted masks are made in Germany (on demand). Fab takes ~10 days.

Due to forum restrictions/rules, instead of a prepared rom set this is a little soft to prepare your rom before flashing it.
Download: HuCONV_v1.5.zip
Backup: wayback://ultimate-consoles.fr/HuCONV_v1.5.zip
(detect header, region and removed them/make region free)

No install, just unzip and drag your rom.pce on the icon to get your prepared rom.
Make in python 7 (if somes want the .py file, PM) - Compiled for windows (.exe)

For GQ4x users, I've made some lines to add at your customdevices.txt (or create it if you do not have it)

At last, i've made a little video (but in french sorry):

[NEC Console Resource / Re: Hi everybody !]

At the begining (~1 year ago), i've made the same pcb as DB, but the mold were far too expensive. (~8000€).

So I've found another way, with a polypropylene (or acrylic) sheet on the bottom (laser cutted).
2 sizes, a short one and a "full" (long) version, the short make the card reflashable (like a flashcard). The "full" can not be reprogrammable (because of thickness).

A little presentation (sorry in French) :

Pictures above are fully working cards.
A TSOP eeprom is soldered on the bottom side.

Thanks ^^

I've made new ones (2 colors) few months ago...much more sexy.

Hi,
I'm Ichigobankai (or just Ichigo), I'm from France.
Some of you have surely see / bought some hucards from me years ago ;)
