« on: December 04, 2015, 05:42:15 PM »
Is the arcade card suppose to get like stupid hot after a few minutes of playing sapphire which has tons of graphical errors?

Maybe a little warm, sure, but not crazy hot. What kind of graphical errors?

Yeah, sounds like wrong amounts of electrical current is going someplace it shouldn't.

Welp. I thought I had a working arcade card. Seems I don't.


I assume when a hue card dies... Its game over for it.


Ill just have to go look for another arcade card for myself.

Look on the bright side, now you can use your old Arcade Card as a super cool key-chain fob.

I had a Duo that would not play well with the ACD. It had gone through a lot of repairs and mods over time, so I coughed it up to that. I tested the card on another Duo and it was fine, do not give up hope on the card.

When I would play Sapphire, I would be missing sprites, I'd only have large blank squares. Most of the backgrounds where missing also. I do not recall the card getting hot tho. At least you have 95% of the obey library! I ended up finding a cheap replacement Duo that works with the ACD and kept the troubled one as a spare for cons.
