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

Same here, except I'm running XP.

Win XP 32bit SP3, runs correctly.

i wonder why its launching an installer when i start it on mine.
i had the same issue on 2 systems running different windows versions Win2K and WinXP
after i force close the installer it works on the 2K system but didnt find any ports on the XP system

[gameofyou]

You are installing the software first, right?  Not just running the HuCard_8M.exe, without first having run the setup.exe?  If so, I'm baffled.

on xp i ran the setup.exe and it sad it was sucessful
on 2k setup.exe errors out, but hucard_8m works without install

tg16 compatibility fixed
i cut the trace to the system reset pin and now it boots every time

Awesome. Would either of you guys mind posting more pics of the thing? I'm sure everyone would like to see more.

Great troubleshooting!  This is an easy fix to perform, but I wonder why it doesn't like to be connected to reset?  The reset button was a good idea for a feature, but it looks like it may not be possible on all systems.

What we have right now is just a low-cost prototype.  Wait until you see the production boards....They will be dead sexy.

I for one will certainly be getting a couple.  Great way to play those translated roms.    Thanks for all the efforts and work that you guys are putting into this.

Yep I'll definitely be getting one - I want to test my (definitely WIP) translation hacking for Momotarou Katsugeki on a real console

I have ordered a small amount of production boards.  The lead-time is 3 weeks.  You can get them faster, but it starts to get expensive.  When I get them in, I'll put up some photos of the bare board.  Then I will build one up, test it, and put the photos of the assembled board on my website.  Barring any unforseen circumstances, I plan to open the checkout basket on my page on June 3rd.

Wow this is getting exciting! I'm so impressed at all the electronics Mcguyvers we have here.

Hmm, I think I know what I might be getting for my Birthday!

And hey, I totally called it - TheSteve was a perfect choice for testing - I never would have been able to figure out that problem!
