[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),...

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)
