The new frontier.

[OldRover]

That's exactly what they did.

Thats not the thing, the thing is you would need a way to attach the card.  The ROM is going to be soldered to the board.  No sockets here.

Good luck getting it off and back on safely if you don't have a different way to program it, lol.

Lemme guess, you've attached a hucard slot to an EPROM programmer and can burn the ROM while it is already attached. Or something like that. That would be a pretty handy innovation if it is indeed what you've done. Otherwise, soldering isn't too bad. I suck at it and manage to screw it up somehow every time, but others have proved more than capable.

Good luck getting the chip out of the prototypes, lol. 

Anyway, more details (and photos) will be coming in the next weeks here when the things are really ready.  Expect another contest coming soon too.  incase you hate China Warrior

Lebron has to be the final boss in Cleveland Warrior... and you should have multiple selectable characters, including Wild Thing Vaughn.

and that serial killer dude that buried hookers in his back yard

[henrycsc]

WOW!!!!  You guys are incredible.

 

I'm also interested in getting one.

[Mishran]

So Arkan, does this mean we will finally get an Ultima style game for PCE/Turbo? You know it would be a bitchin' game to release on Huey...

[spenoza]

Y'know, Mishran, that's a great idea. What about it, Arky? You keep talkin' up Ultima. Give it to us! Use this fantastic new toy of yours to bring the joy of Ultima to the PCE!

I'm really itching to see the finished product that emerges from these protos. I imagine it'll be pretty snazzy. Have you picked out a manufacturing partner and a more polished design?

[SuperPlay]

Arkhan great work as always.

If you do put any of these up for sale please let me know as I would love one in my PCE collection :@)

p.s I am terrible at playing China Warrior ;-) LOL

There will be other contests that aren't China Warrior.

These prototypes are to raise the funds to get the non-handmade ones made.  Pretty much anywhere can do that.

And no, I'm not starting Ultima until the other stuff is done.  I don't want to put all my eggs in 40 baskets and watch them all rot.

That's reasonable. I can wait. I am much more waiting for your Defender clone, however. Once your classes are done for the semester I hope you'll give us some video as improvements come out.

yeah once Im done failing classes due to mandatory group work and idiots in my groups, I will resume working on Derpfender.  Though video improvements won't do much at this point since most of its under the hood.  I could scroll through the code and film it maybe?

Do it Matrix style.

[incrediblehark]

Just got around to reading this, just want to say you are the man! Great work and I can't wait to see some new HuCard releases in 2012. time to fail at China Warrior.

[mrhaboobi]

keen to nab one of these   have to wait for the next round of qualifications to start

[BlackandBlue]

OMG, is that thing on a piece of cardboard?  Thats fucking awesome! Can you make me out out of a 6-pack?

just kidding, looks awesome.  Glad you are venturing out in the world of hueys to make real chiptunes happen again!
