I play PC games using the new chorpedo's.

They're far easier to use and hardly cause damage to any graphics card imagineable.

Why not ask chops directly?  He knows all about PC game playing.

this may sound stupid but why not just region mod and be done with it? Keith Courage does excellent work and his prices are more than fair for the quality of his work.

Let's say you're doing this to play PCE games on a Turbo Express. Modding the system is possible, but inconvenient. The chopsado easily attached to your HuCard without a bulky convertor sticking out. It's the perfect solution.

Or, let's say, you have a US TCD or Duo and have a Turbo EverDrive and have no desire to use a region mod/converter for JP HuCards but you want to play ACD games. A single chopsado (or chorpedo) is a low cost way to use an Arcade Card.

And I use a chopsado for exactly that purpose actually.

I love that there is a more affordable converter being offered. Is Chop not offering his for-little-to-nothing-chopsado anymore? Whatever, these are available to a greater audience via ebay and there's merit to that.

However, I have chopsados and a green diving board converter and can state that games will sometimes require some wiggling to start and will sometimes conk out mid-game using these converters.  And I had some really weird graphical effects going on using my diving board with my ACD while playing Sapphire once.

Ever since my system was region modded, every pce game has loaded up every time and has played flawlessly. And it didn't cost much to have done.
