Looks like whisper2053 is going to hook it up... he's only about 30 min away.  thanks for all the responses and offers to help!

That's awesome to have a fellow obeyer that close by in Germany.

Ok folks... this story is going to have an ending (hopefully a happy one).  I made the short drive to whisper2053's place this afternoon.  When we popped Genjin3 into his PC Engine Duo-R we got.... wait for it.... a white screen.  Just like I got on my TE.  It looks like, for as great as this card looks, its a dud.  So I will have to try and get my money back.  I would prefer a replacement if they have one.  More to follow on that I guess.

While I was there I tried a few of his sizeable collection of JP Hucards in my TE and they all worked.  Additionally, he had an Everdrive we threw in and it also worked perfectly.  I might have to fork out the considerable cash for one of those.

I ended up spending a lot more time over there than I thought I would mostly just checking out all whisper2053's awesome stuff.  I even learned a thing or two I didn't know. 

Thanks again to whisper2053.  He really came thru for me.  If any of you deal with him in the future.  I will vouch for him as a knowledgeable, honest, and very helpful dude that you can rely on.

have you tried pulling the hu card out to where the power lock will touch the top of the card? also try slipping some paper card stock behind the hu card. sometimes the pins are recessed just enough to make it hard to make contact.

Sadly I did try both of those things PC. No matter what position or level of fitment in the hucard slot that I tried got much of a change. The sole variance was the one instance where I got it to boot up to a pink screen instead of a white, but that is not exactly helpful lol.

Thanks for the kind words schweaty

CONCLUSION - I explained everything to the seller on ebay and they immediately refunded by purchase without even requesting the broken game be returned.  I cannot recommend japanyouwant highly enough.  If you see them on ebay (or anywhere else) do not hesitate to buy from them.  They will make sure you are satisfied.

They were probably extra helpful as an axis power courtesy, not knowing you're a yankee.

Another update:  when I told Japanyouwant about my problems with the game, I asked if they had another one they could send me.  They didn't and promptly refunded my money.  At the time, I asked them if they get another one in, to give me the first opportunity to buy it.  Whelp... yesterday I got an email from them saying they just got another one in and they would sell it to me for the same price as the first one!

Its on its way from Japan right now.  I will let you know if this one ends up working.  What I really wanted to get out of this post is another plug for Japanyouwant.  I promise they aren't my cousins or anything.  They seem like honest folk and deserve credit when it is due.

Awesome! So glad to hear that this has a happy ending!

Last update:  I got my new copy of Genjin 3 in the mail today.  And it works!  So... after a couple months, a little thrash, and some help from some goodhearted people it all worked out in the end.

Glad to see everything worked out.

A happy ending.  Punch a hole in the other one and make yourself a nice key chain!

I've been wondering what to do with the dud Huey.  Cosmetically it looks good.  Anybody else ever re-purpose a HuCard into something cool?

[Necromancer]

Sell it for big monies to a collectard.  They'll never know it doesn't work.

[turbokon]

Send it to thesteve, he may be able to fix it.

Usually the non working Hueys are burned for good, either electronically damaged or mechanically, the little chip in the centre of the black are upside down, put there with an old industrial state of the art technic called bonded/bonding, nano welding made in gold, can't be done by hand.

But, making them into huey dogtags sounds crazy cool, making it also look like a security passcard with NSA clearance =)
