Divingboard / Arcade Card / glitch question

[SignOfZeta]

That would explain why the new ones aren't free, but the cost of PCBs has not tripped in the past 20 years, in fact it's plummeted to nearly nothing.

There are two reasons the converters are expensive.

In case anyone's curious, I region-modded (halfway, that is, no switcher yet) my "spare" TG16, and tested out some Japanese HuCards with it; works great.  Popped the Arcade Card in, loaded said CD, and got the exact same behavior as I did with the US-stock TG16 w/diving board & arcade card.

Are you using Aracade Card PRO or Arcade Card DUO? You need PRO for the TG16/SCD setup

[SignOfZeta]

I think he knows that. It won't even boot with a non-Pro.

[Overand]

Yeah, it's a Pro.  And it's not the divingboard.  (It *could* still be an issue with my Pro card, bad memory or such).

But given my recent other experiences, I'm beginning to suspect haunted CD-R media and two or three haunted burners.
