@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

hELLO, WELCOME TO THE SITE!!!112222 :wink: 

This is a common problem. You need to clean the card and the port as well. NEVER leave cartridges in systems when you're not using them, they're both oxidated now. No connection. No good. Nightmares, loss of sleep, mental breakdown. Everything will collapse. Sorry, but until you clean these things with alcohol, the world's stopped.

I have left a System Card in the slot of my TG-16 since I got the system back in 1991.  It's not always the same system card, and sometimes it is a regular HuCard instead, but I can honestly say that my TurboGrafx has never gone more than 2 or 3 minutes at a time without some sort of card inserted.  Works fine.  Maybe that's because it knows better than to piss me off.

oK I cleaned the card w/ alcohol but i cant get inside the slot of the turbo machine...do i have to open it up ive never done it before... can i just pour a little alcohol in there would that be ok? ](*,)

OldRover

I sure as hell wouldn't be pouring alcohol directly into the machine...there's gotta be a better way...a thin cloth attached to something, maybe?

Take and dab a q-tip  with some alcohol and rub some on one of your hu-cards like Keith Courage on the connector area,and insert it in and out a few times, After doing so dry the card off and repeat the process a few more times. Then after all that madness use  a air can and blow it out.

21JAMES

i kind of did it before i read your post's  ...i took awhile to dry cuz it got froze a few times...but now its working good.... so i reccommend pouring alcohol in your system....but dont let it drive ..be  a desingated driver   :dance:

21JAMES

ok i got it going....it there a way to have some kind of better video cables other then composite ..i have a hdtv...would like to take advantage of it.... :-k

Joe Redifer

Not without physically modding your system.  And even if you have component cables it won't be in HDTV.

I guess you live in a very dry place then. :wink: Get a little moist in there and you're doomed!

So you're saying I shouldn't pee in my card slot anymore?

Seldane

Actually I encourage such behaviour.

When you said that I thought instantly of those ultra weak KY tv ads they keep airing on TBS,TnT and USA network.

I poured alcohol into my system on saturday, as a result I ended up peeing in the slot.
