The Pro card is cheaper than the Duo one  8-[ Do they effectively do the same thing (with one having the System 3.0 software on as well) or are both compatible with the Core?

The Pro card is less common and usually more expensive, but not this time apparently, so buy whichever you want.  They would both work with your Super-CD; the only difference between the two is that the Duo card has only 16mb o' memory and the Pro card has 16mb plus the extra 1.5mb not found in the original PCE-CD.

Ah ha that makes more sense, thanks  :lol: Its such a minefield trying to work out what's what for these systems.

Nothing happens when I switch it on though :( The Core plays Hucard games just fine when its on its own but when I plug the two together I just get a blank screen for cards. My Core is a region modded unit though with a flick switch right next to the bus bay on the back. I'm going to buy a TG game and see if that makes any difference when I fire it up.

Edit. Problem solved! Just slid the two apart at the bus connector and eased the tension on the region switch. All working now. Phew!

By the way, there have been reports of a region modded core having issues with certain hucard games only when a super cdrom is attached. There is a thread here on it somewhere that has a list of games that were noted to have weird behavior or just plain not work at all. It might be worth your time to look into it.
