Turbo Everdrive PC Engine / Turbografx 16 Flash Card Nearing Release

[djcouchycouch]

Is the process of development that hardware-dependent for you that doing most of or as many of your tests on an emulator first isn't sufficient enough before occasionally swapping the SD card/updating contents to see how it looks on real hardware ?

I don't have to do it all the time, but there's been a few times where I had to swap back and forth. I had several crashes on hardware that didn't occur on emulators, and some differences in music playback with the sound library I was using. After my Genesis project, I'll be looking at PC Engine development. So I don't mind paying an extra 15 bucks now for a bit less pain later on.

I have the hes to .pce converter on some of my computers. I'll look for it and post it when I have time. Might be easier to just secretly pm the sound roms though.

Help my feeble mind figure out how to play PSG tunes on real hardware

I just placed my order today.  The item is on backorder, so who knows when I'll get it, but at least I have my place in line.  I can play with my wonky NeoFlash in the mean time.

Stone Age Gamer just posted a video about creating shells for the Turbo EverDrive.

would be cool if it were clear plastic or had a rectangle window on top. I like the looks of the guts.

Skeleton Turbo Ever drive. That would be PIMP! as if the card isn't already.

Are these going to be really limited production? Do I need to order one as soon as possible, or does Krikzz make up more cards every so often?

Have you found a source that still has them in stock?

[SamIAm]

Negative

[KnightWarrior]

Can the ROM of the System Card work on the Turbo EverDrive??

Like playing Drac X on the TG-16 with the CD Unit, But you don't have the cards

[Frank_fjs]

Unfortunately no, you can't use it as a system card.

Re ordering them, they will be in production for a while and not limited, so no rush. I don't believe anywhere has them in stock as yet, although they are being sold on a pre-order basis at Retrogate (krikzz's store) and some have even been shipped out.

[KnightWarrior]

Thanks Frank

Will Krikzz do an update for it to act like a System Card??

[Necromancer]

Unfortunately no, you can't use it as a system card.

That's not entirely true - they can be used as system cards where the memory is already in the system, such as flashing a TG-CD BIOS for use in a TurboDuo to see SuperCD error screens.

[KnightWarrior]

So the System 3.0 Bios is already flashed in the Turbo EverDrive?

[Frank_fjs]

Yeah, but it won't actually act as a system card though.

I don't believe that Krikzz will ever release an update to allow it, but he may develop a new card with extended functionality like he's done with the Mega Drive card, but I doubt system card functionality will be included.
