Turbo Everdrive PC Engine / Turbografx 16 Flash Card Nearing Release

[wilykat]

Been waiting on Stone Age Gamer but they seems to have gone somewhere right about the time retro got some stock in.

I wanted to get the deluxe version if they can make it work.  When the get back in some days, I hope to snag one when it becomes available so I can get the deluxe upgrade later.

Just got mine from retrogate and works flawlessly in the GT, TG16 and Duo R modded by doujindance.

Looks like retrogate has more instock now. 

I'm not sure if I want to wait longer and pay more for the deluxe version from Stone Age Gamer.  Are most of you that haven't bought yet, waiting for a possible deluxe version?  Any word on what SAG might charge for their deluxe version if released?

Yeah, about to order but do I need the USB option?

IIRC:
~ Firmware Upgrades can also be done with MicroSD Cards.
~ The USB Port is for Game/Hombrew Developers.

If you want to use that for homebrew then sure....otherwise no.  I got the one without USB because it won't fit in a supergrafx with the usb thing.

it looks like you could easily add the part if you ever wanted to in the future

not for me. I got the GOY card. I don't mind re flashing the card from time to time and I'm supporting american economy.

Best purchase evar!

My mega everdrive was my "I got a new job!" gift.  My turbo everdrive was my ...uhh..... "I'm rich enough" gift?

Nice!  Well, I just ordered a Turbo Everdrive since I couldn't wait.  lol, I have no job, no money and my b-day has passed already.  I guess X-mas is coming early for me.

Happy bday Turbo!

Thanks Duo-r, my turbo everdrive just arrived today.  Now I need to pick up a micro sd.  Street Fighter II is already preloaded which pretty sweet.  Since there is no instructions or manual, how do you load the rome?  Just drap n drop into the micro sd?  Never owned a everdrive before.

Yup, drag & drop.  I think there is a limit to the number of files that can be in one directory, though.  The whole TG16 library can go in one folder, but when I had the whole PCE library in another folder, I could only see the first 100 or so.  So I had to split them up into a few folders.  Best ways to do it are either by starting letter (so you could have A-D, E-G, etc), or by genre.

I tried Populous, the only HuCard with a battery save and yet it saves to the internal RAM of my awesome TurboGrafx-CD Interface Unit.  What's the battery save for?
