[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PC Genjin 3 (Bonk 3) not working on region modded TE]

Ok folks... this story is going to have an ending (hopefully a happy one).  I made the short drive to whisper2053's place this afternoon.  When we popped Genjin3 into his PC Engine Duo-R we got.... wait for it.... a white screen.  Just like I got on my TE.  It looks like, for as great as this card looks, its a dud.  So I will have to try and get my money back.  I would prefer a replacement if they have one.  More to follow on that I guess.

While I was there I tried a few of his sizeable collection of JP Hucards in my TE and they all worked.  Additionally, he had an Everdrive we threw in and it also worked perfectly.  I might have to fork out the considerable cash for one of those.

I ended up spending a lot more time over there than I thought I would mostly just checking out all whisper2053's awesome stuff.  I even learned a thing or two I didn't know. 

Thanks again to whisper2053.  He really came thru for me.  If any of you deal with him in the future.  I will vouch for him as a knowledgeable, honest, and very helpful dude that you can rely on.

thanks for the responses guys!  I will hit up whisper2053 and see if he is still here.  If not, turbokon can expect some more crap in the mail (like he doesn't get enough already)

Alrighty.  The only way I'm going to know for sure if its the card or my TE is if some gracious soul among you would let me mail them the game to test it in a PC Engine.  Of course, I would pay for shipping both ways.

I would prefer it was a PCE GT because I figure that's the closest thing hardware-wise to a modded TE.  After that, an original white PC Engine would be my second choice.  I would prefer it were NOT a SuperGrafx or DUO (if possible).  I know I'm starting to sound picky here but I will be asking for my money back if it doesnt work so I want to make the test as "valid" as possible for the seller.

Before everyone raises their hand, you should know that I'm in the Air Force stationed in Germany.  The postage to an APO address is the same as it is in the states (which I am paying for.. friendly reminder) but it does require a Customs Statement (which is free) which can only be filled out an a Post Office.  So, to mail it back, you will have to go to a Post Office.

Hit me up if you can help a bruva out.

yup.  tried that.  I even hit it with the plastic eraser.  no dice (its real clean now tho).

I literally checked every single game I have to see if the same thing would happen to any other game after the mod.  They all work.  I'm starting to think its a bad card even tho the guy I bought it from said it was tested.

I'm thinking the only way to confirm it is to check it in a real PC Engine (which I don't have or know anyone who does).

unfortunately, no... so, it could be the card, but like i said, it looks great

Bit of a head scratcher here, gents.  I region modded my Turbo Express  last weekend (thanks Turbokon).  It plays all my other PCE games just fine (Street Fighter II, Valkyrie Densetsu, PC Denjin), but when I put in PC Genjin 3 I get the 'no game inserted' white screen.  The HuCard is pristine and the contacts look good.

Only thing I can think of is that Bonk 3 requires a 'higher powered' system than just a standard TG.  I couldn't find anything on the internet that says that.  Just speculating.  Any thoughts?
