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

Got my card in the post today :@)

011
Letter "E"

Card looks great, time to play :@)

On another note, does anyone else have a hard time getting their console to switch on when using the protocard?

Mine fits (very) snugly in my Duo-R. The AbCards could definitely use a bit more wiggle room.

While it worked fine in my TurboDuo, it's a tight fit in the 'Express and RX.  It works but the power switches need a little help clearing the card's edge - the slight torque from sliding the power switch pushes the leading edge down just enough to hit the huey corner (needs the rounded corners of a 'real' huey).

I had similar difficulty fitting it into my Express... I had to hold the protocard against the system while i slid the switch over the card.

These look awesome.. Very jealous that i missed out.. but very awesome   i hope this helps you get the funds you needed to move forward, and if you did have any more of the cards floating around id be happy to take one off your hands


I see another person making a new card aswell, any thoughts of combining efforts to help reduce costs?

Sorry. Arkhan and I have had real life intruding, so they haven't been mailed yet.
Soon. Probably early next week.

Anyone try these with a multi-tap yet? I wanna know if the two-player stuff works okay
(And we're about ready to start round 2: the thin cards. More about that after I talk to arkhan.)

[henrycsc]

no rush.... you guys are awesome for just making this possible!

[Arkhan]

Yeah, I am in Chassamusetts atm. Had to take an emergency drive out here.  My girlfriends grandpa died. 

Luckily, we made it here in time for her to see him before that happened.

I'll be driving back to Ohio on Saturday.

Also: New York is one of the boringest experiences I've ever had in my life.

It felt like Enduro.  lol.

Arkhan: Hope everything is OK.

That is utterly preposterous!

I tried the game with a multitap and seemed to work ok, but I was playing by myself and using both controllers so it didn't get a lot of extensive 2p testing

[Arkhan]

Im back in my hood.

f*ck driving.

[henrycsc]

Sorry to hear about your Girlfriend's GP.  Hope she's doing ok.

Out of interest I have just tried to use my card (requested and created in PCE format which works fine) on my Turbografx 16 using a Telegames converter and it does not boot, it displays the random colour/pastern screen.

Not a problem just thought that it was interesting.
