Title: American to Japanese Hucard converter?
Post by: Zaggart on 10/09/2003, 06:26 AM
Hi all!

With my continuing Duo audio problems (it fades in and out constantly) and new issues, such as games locking up, I decided to get a new machine.  I picked up a PC Engine Duo R, but forgot about it not being able to play American Hucards. (I know, my bad :\  )  I only have one American Hucard though, but it is my favorite - Air Zonk.  Is there such thing as a converter that will let me play my American Hucard on a Japanese Duo?  If so, where might I go about finding something like that?  

Thanks for any help!

Such a beast does not exist. Even if it did exist, American HuCards can detect the fact that they are on a Japanese PC Engine and will refuse to run. :roll:

You might want to pick up a turboexpress for your hucard playin' needs.
Title: pin 29 mod

You can use the US to Japanese converters on a Japanese system IF you mod the chip by grounding pin 29 on the Japanese deck.  Then you defeat the region lockout.
