Got my Aetherbytes Protocard in the mail today! *SPOILER PICS INSIDE*

[Arkhan]

hmmm.   That's certainly interesting. 

pics?

Make sure the card is in the adapter right.
Being a little to one side or the other can cause that.
The 'random' screen color is actually the chip not getting powered

The adapter cards don't have the switch to kick them into the correct position.
(I ran into this a -lot- while building them. And now you know why some of the cards are a little tight. )

Whoo hoo!  Mine came today.   

I'm guessing Ark is gonna make a ton of these.  Mine didn't have a letter with it, but this...



Not sure what it means, but I'm guessing the other letter will help spell:

The Higher Energy Video Game System Rules!

Ok, time to try it out!!!!!

[Arkhan]

No, that paper simply means Energy Rules

as in, http://pcengine.co.uk/HTML_Games/Energy.htm

bwahhahaha


hopefully you like the Gnop music as much as I does.

[storino03]

Ark, the music in GNOP rocks!

Are you going to expand any of these games?  Allow us to put some English on the ball?

I couldn't get 1 player in Masteroids or Bytecycles.  I'm gonna try to get some 4 players on them.  Might bytecycles seems like it's about 3x too fast for a first level.....  very fast fatals!

Oh, and I solved the problem of fitting the fat huey in a laseractive!      Street Fighter 2, Populous, and the Arcade Card Pro don't fit either.

[TheOldMan]

You gotta be kidding me. It works running through 2 converters? Will wonders never cease...

'm guessing Ark is gonna make a ton of these.

Nope. No more. Proceeds from the sales are going towards the next generation

I couldn't get 1 player in Masteroids or Bytecycles.

Yeah, there's something not-quite-right in the tap detect code. It's not a problem on my tg16, but apparently it is on duos and such.
And we really need to fix that for later games

[henrycsc]

Yeah, and I believe that none of the converters work to play a US game on a Japanese system.  Mine is a PCE ProtoHuey, so I needed to double the converters to flip the region back.  I guess the glitch that keeps you from playing a US huey on a JPN system isn't an issue with the stacked converters.  Probably the most useful tip that I discovered today. 

[Arkhan]

I loled at that picture.

I want to go back and mess with GNOP at a later date.


the colors and music are sweet.  The rainbow looks way better on TVs than on compooters.



It's weird (the tap detection).  The results of it are kind of sporadic.

Oh, and I solved the problem of fitting the fat huey in a laseractive! 

Hah!  The Cook loves it! 

[Gogan]

Yes.

[Gogan]

Gnop music makes me wanna f*ckin dance!

[Mishran]

I still sit down for some 1P GNOP. Game really is fun as hell, even for a pong game! The music keeps you into it. The rainbow effect gives me a headache after playing for a while though. Can't say I've had similar problems with any other game...

Warning: GNOP may cause seizures. 

[Gogan]

Never thought I'd say this, but that's a sweet rainbow!
