Has anyone ever broken apart a HuCard of either Street Fighter II or Populous to see what's inside that raised area of the HuCard?







Edit: I knew this had already been discussed before, just couldn't remember, found the thread

I think Aldynes is one of the Supergrafx games that would play the music in a PC Engine.  I'm not sure about Granzort though.

Nothing happens with Granzort. No music. Nada. I can confirm that on a PC Engine Duo.

I once had a spare populous card lying around and it took it apart.  Couldn't see anything in that extra space and the chips had some kind of plastic gunk covering them which was hardened,  this was during the time I was wondering if a battery should have been placed in there for the ROMRAM thing but it got debunked.  Because it made no sense why the populous card had all that extra large black board including the raised lid when it just had two chips the same size as what you would find in any other hucard.

Also I remember prying open the top of a street fighter CE card too and just seeing an extra piece of clear plastic with some kind of conductive thread or whatever it's called running along it..

I finally got a SUPER GRAFX console! I tested Granzort and it works perfectly, don't know what happened with the SF2 card that I mentioned earlier.
I modded it for RGB and the picture is stunning, although there are still some jailbars visible (on the usual suspect games), but they are much less visible than on my RGB Core Grafx that I have done the jailbar fix on.
One thing I have noticed though is that Aldynes does not look that much better in RGB than composite video, whereas in other games the difference is obvious.

Try comparing Aldynes on a brighter and more colorful stage and it's much more noticeable.
