Yes Bernie let me know lol, more footage of the Turbo Everdrive in action:

It looks like that it runs a whole lot better than the team neo one that I have.

I tried retrogate and they are all out of stock, I asked if he was going to in the future have a cover for it and he said that it would be unlikely

[wilykat]

I am planning to get one from Stone Age for the nice cover and all. I was wondering, would the CD system card work?  I'd like to have 1.0 to play Altered Beast and 3.0 for other games.

PS why is Altered Beast unable to work on newer cards? Someone at NEC used illegal opcode that was removed?

I got the cd system bios to run but I don't have an actual cd system to test if it's running right.

The CD System Bios works as long as you play only regular CD-ROM games if you have a regular CD-ROM but if you have a Super CDROM (includes the DUO) it will also work with Super CD-ROM games. The reason is that the Turbo EverDrive does not contain the required RAM like a real system card. But if you have a Super CD-ROM the memory is already present and seems to work fine with a flashed BIOS rom running.

Cool, that answered my question about how firmware updates would work. This guy Krik, what an awesome electrical and software engineer! To have made one flashcart for a system and have that feather in your cap would be impressive enough, but to go as far as he has with all the systems that he's made them for...just wow! I'm gonna be able to order one next couple of days if it's in stock.

It's a great piece of hardware I've been using it for a while with zero issues.  I built a cover for mine and relocated the reset switch on top of the cover and it's still running great.

Man, it looks sweet. 

[Chuplayer]

That is sweet. I'll definitely be waiting for it.

[Drakon]

Looks great but really you shouldn't put anything on the bottom or sides.  Even the pin half of the top you won't have space I couldn't even fit a single layer of electrical tape in all these spots.  If you do manage to get it in that way you'll likely bend all the slot pins and regular hucards won't contact very well.

I agree, KRIKzz did not design the board to have any type of covering on it. By changing the thickness you could be doing damage to the HuCard Slot. And we don't exactly have a source for new ones for now. So any difference in thickness had better be very minor. Which I suppose that may be possible.
