Making homemade HuCard converter?

[Arkhan Asylum]

Lets say I want to make my own card converter, because I'm broke.

I have a few spare HUCards, and a few broken Turbos.  Is it possible to just take the reader out of the turbo, wire up the trace flips, and put any ol' hucard on the end?

Chop has made a makeshift converter that apparently works so it might be a good ideal to ask him.  You can also mod your system pretty easy if you have good soldering skills.  If you have a PC Engine then you'd have to disable the security chip first to be able to play games with a converter games x has a nice writeup on how to do it here:

After that you can install a region mod switch to switch between us/japanese mode. 

With the US systems all you need to do is just do the mod for the region switch.

Hey! that converter is basically what I envisioned!.

 Nice. 

I may have to take a spare turbo and try the region mod switch thing instead though.  That would be cooler.
