Turbo Everdrive PC Engine / Turbografx 16 Flash Card Nearing Release

Is retrogate a good website to purchase these? I am thinking of getting the MD version at the same time as the PCE version.

This is apparently the Year of the PC Engine. MSR, Atlantean, AbCard, Pyramid Plunder, TailChao's devcard, the basic flash HuCard, and the EverDrive. Good year to own a system, if not necessarily so great on the finances.

Good thing too since it is not so great for next Gen consoles for a while. I don't think I will get the next generation of consoles when they eventually arrive so plenty of time for Turbo.

It's where I bought my Everdrive MD. I thought it was pretty decent. I thought retrogate was krikzz's own store, no?

SamIAm, you're good! His response:

Thanks a lot for info. I already moved SD slot to the middle of the board, USB still on old place, but usb port need only for people who want develop something, 99% of cart will be sold without usb port, since USB completely useless for gamers. So i think that USB is not a problem for most of sgx owners

[incrediblehark]

good to hear!

[Samurai Ghost]

Awesome!! So I'll probably end up buying this so I can play 1941 and a couple titles I haven't managed to find for a decent price yet. Can't wait to try it out!

Ah, that raises a question I was curious about, are the 5 SuperGrafx HuCards in existence pretty much designed the same as a PCE/TG-16 HuCard, same number of connectors, memory design and everything? That is, the HuCard, as a memory storage format, did it stay exactly the same with the SuperGrafx and only the internal hardware was improved for the system ? I know it's backwards compatible and plays all existing HuCards as well, so I'm guessing that answers the question. In which case, I would assume the 5 SuperGrafx games using this HuFlashCard will work just fine with actual hardware. Myself, I don't really care because I don't own one and never will (I respect collectors and I think its design is real badass, but I'd never buy such a failed 5-game system - that was not a good sign of things to come for NEC).

SuperGrafx roms work fine on other flashcards.

Thanks a million, NightWolve. I'm glad my pics could help.

Krikzz made a video to demo it! He loads/tests "Street Fighter II:CE," Batman, R-Type, and Toilet Kids, etc.

Towards the end he'll point the camera down to his PC Engine, turn it off, take the SD card out, turn back on, etc. (I guess to show it retained the memory of the last game? Not sure.). Anyway, looks awesome!

I am so sold on it,now if i want to play a hucard titles with a fan translation i can.Not to mention expensive u.s titles such as magicial chase

I agree the SGX sucks if you think of it as a five-game system. I prefer to think of it as a "PC Engine Plus." If you don't already own a PC Engine, buying a hundred-dollar console that can also play Battle Ace and Ghouls n' Ghosts isn't a bad way to go.

If this gets popular I think there is a chance it could bring the prices down on regular genuine HuCards that are sold on Ebay. Which is a good thing but I can see how some of you might think its a bad thing. Most "gamers" will go for the flash card so that will cut down on the demand for genuine HuCards. We'll see....

There's been flashcarts available for the Turbob for years, so I don't see this one having much effect on legit game pricing.

[spenoza]

Exactly. I'll use a flash card for stuff I can't afford, but when I can afford what I want I'm gonna want to own it legitimately, in real, physical form.
