Ok so even if the roms are bad and not programming right I should be getting some sort of menu when I plug it in?  Crap.  No way to fix it either I suppose?  Oh well, I did get it for about half price so it's not as big a loss.

 I guess I should get another one.  What brand/type is recommended?  Is this still the only one on the market?

Could be.  I looked at the pins and they all seem ok.  What I really need to do is find someone who has a working cart and have them try and program mine.  It could all be that the software isn't working right for me (the software is almost impossible to install and figure out).

So, uh, pardon the up coming ignorant question (first week back since a three year hiatus) but what is a Neo PC-E Flash card?  Do you load roms onto it,  slap it into your Duo, and play them?

Yep that's pretty much it.

I'm not rocket surgeon or brain scientist, but you have to operate that thing through a Kisiado adapter to get it to work on a US system?  Yikes.

No actually, not unless you're playing JPN games from the flash cart.  I've tried it both ways just in case I was wrong though.

The Kisado works, I know that.  I suppose it could be DoA, but the tool says it's programming.  Who the heck knows?

It was brand new when I got it so I doubt it, but I'll check.

The Duo seems to work just fine with games, so I don't think it's the contacts on the board.  I generally keep the little lid down and it was new when I got it (TurboZone NOS).

First post!  I just wish it wasn't a request for help. 

I have a Neo PC-E Flash Card for my TurboDuo (One of these: http://www.neoflash.com/img/PC-E-new_1.jpg), but I can't quite figure out how to get it to work. I finally got the software that came with it installed and working (which wasn't easy) and I can write to the card, but I get nothing when I try to use it on my Turbo-Duo. I've tried it through my Kisado adapter just in case it was actually in PC-Engine format, but still nothing. I've tried both US and JPN roms.  I also tried it on my Turbo Express just to make sure, and I get the same blank blue/gray screen.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  I installed the kit, then I ran the USB writing system. I selected PCE as the writing style (only choice), added the rom (I've tried both TG16 and PCE format), then select write. The program said it wrote it to the card successfully but it doesn't work when I try it out.  If it makes a difference the two roms I'm using for testing are Darkwing Duck (US) and Bomberman 94 (JPN).  Both are good and work in the emulator.

I'm doing this all in Windows XP (via dual booting),  but my main OS is now Windows 7 64-bit.  Does this software work on Windows 7 64-bit?

Oh and if this isn't the correct forum for this I apologize in advance.
