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

I tried Raiden and it worked correctly, with no problems.  However, I couldn't get the Neutopia games to boot.  I am not sure of the reason for this yet.
 
In the meantime, I have mailed the prototype card to 'thesteve' today, for further testing on different systems.  Maybe he will have better luck than I did with the Neutopia games.

Have you considered, once this is complete, telling the people who created ucon64 so that they can add support for it?

WOW!!  Truly amazed at how fast this churned out from the time you announced your project!  Put me down for a couple as well.  :)

One thing you might want to look into while testing is trying games that have level selects, and jumping around to make sure it's getting at data in all difference places.

The production board will be fitted with a mini-usb connector.  Actually, there are patterns for both (standard size or mini), but I will be assembling them with the mini-usb.
 
Good luck with your testing!

So if a small menu, similar to the Neo, was made up for this, it could also hold between 2-4 smaller 1 and 4Mbit games couldn't it? Would definitely add to this project's favor. I may have to bite on one myself regardless. Your doing a damn fine job though! :clap:

I don't think it would work easily. You'd need some sort of mapper chip or to hack all the ROMs.

Could I have a couple people here do me a favor?
 
thesteve had a couple issues with the PC software & I want to see if runs correctly on another persons PC.  If you have Windows XP, Vista, or 7, and you can download the software from my page:
http://www.gamingenterprisesinc.com/Flash_HuCard/

Nevermind any of the usb driver stuff, just install the PC software with setup.exe.
 
You won't be able to do much with it once its running (obviously) without the HuCard, but just check that it runs and you can select a file for download.
 
It runs fine on my XP machine, but it will be good info to see if a fresh install has any issues.
 
Thanks!

Windows 7 64bit.

Installs and runs OK. Can select a file for download with no issues.

I tried it on a laptop running vista. It installed fine, launched, loaded a game, and error+exit when I click to flash. Looking nice :)
