I'm really looking forward to ordering one of these. Any idea on shipping costs to Japan?

Did you test this out with 3Mbit and 6Mbit hu-card games?  IIRC, they have an odd way of mapping their banks.

If you can give me any specific game titles, I can give them a try.  It sounds like if there is an issue, that it could be addressed by an update of the PC software.  There is enough flexibility in the existing communication protocol for placing a gap (or gaps) in where the rom code is located in the flash memory of the HuCard.

A quick look at usps.com shows that standard airmail is $10 (no tracking), and Priority Mail (faster, & with tracking) is $17.  This is going to be typical pricing for any location outside the USA.

I'll be in on one of these too. It's very cool being able to follow the development of the card!

Try Neutopia (3M), Neutopia II (6M), and Raiden (6M).  There are many other 3M games as well...

I'd like to by one of these as well. Finally a way to play all the Japanese to English translated roms that are out there besides using an emulator.

Would it be possible to use a flashcard as a Arcade Card on US systems?

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

no due to the arcade card being a memory bank and mapper
