TED Group Buy Round 2! ORDERED!

he probably didn't apply the OSUPDATE
mine works fine

I doubt that.  It actually says "OS file not found" if you try to use it without os.pce in the TBED folder.

My friend at work got a TED recently and it looks like it's DOA.   He says some others from that batch are tardy too.

GOOD LUCK GUYS.

Tell him to make sure he switched the PCE-TG16 switch appropriately... I fell for it myself... It was on PCE from the factory, I have a US Express, so when I loaded up my SD, I got nothing but a black screen... I kept removing it, blowing on my Express, a few times before I finally remembered that shit... If I can fall for that, anyone can. Also, links/info again:

Mine was also on PCE setting. I don't have a TurboGrafx though so it was no problem.

might have a cheapo SD card they all don't work. cheap china ones are known to have issues. I got a cheap 8GB Kingston works great on my N8 and TED

[Arkhan]

I have his TED to try when I get home from work.  he's got a region modded duo-r that he just got from teh doujins, so it should be fine.

TOO BAD HE AINT A BIG MONEY HUSTLER THAT JUST BUYS SRS REAL SHIT ONLY

[Necromancer]

Didn't he get it just for Santatlantean and Reflectron?  That's what mine's slated for. 

[Necromancer]

Speaking of which, I picked it up last night after work.  It was delivered Saturday, but the mailman forgot to leave a notice. 

[Opethian]

oh there is issues with some region modded systems. I forget the specifics but theres that....

[Arkhan]

oh there is issues with some region modded systems. I forget the specifics but theres that....

Yeah

That seems to be his issue.  But, that seems kinda lame.  The GameOfYou card works fine with those don't it?

and he's got a pro as f*ck DD region mod.


His things worked for me, but I don't have region mods.

[NightWolve]

Ah, so it was the region mod. You could try to change the voltage supply source. Solder a wire directly to the 5V regulator output leg to get the maximum power and send it to the region mod circuit if it currently taps voltage from the video output area. That helps for some cases, if not, that particular region mod implementation is just not agreeable with TE.

[wilykat]

I thought the issue were related to those that used electronic switches and the timing at power on could be causing issue? That is the 8 data busses weren't set when TE tried to perform function with the console?

Mechanical 8 pole switch doesn't seem to cause the issue. They don't draw any power other than some extra wires requiring an additional milliamp or 2 to go through

[Renmauzo]

Just got mine in today, and it works perfectly. Thanks to all the guys that posted up tutorial steps and tech help, ended up making the setup really easy.

...and of course, thank you so much jtucci for setting this up and taking care of everything; it's been a pleasure to be included in the buy!

Yeah, there are a few region mod styles/circuits, but the one that needs a 5 Volt supply is the one that I'm thinking of. Problems with other types of flashcarts were solved when tapping the voltage from the best source, right from the output leg of the 5V regulator.

Keith mentioned details on the different styles here:

And according to BlueBMW, some chips have a 5VDC regulator on them, in which case, it's better to tap the incoming 10-12 VDC from the power cable:

Seems people are having trouble with this new Everdrive on a US TG-16 as well, but in the case of Arkhan's friend, it's a region-modded Duo-R so that rules that out.

Well, personally, I'd get just rid of the region modding if there's no solution and just stick with the TE - might as well preserve the HuCard collection now.

Just wondering if that system happened to be a US Turbo Grafx 16...

[jtucci31]

Looks like almost everything else is going smoothly now (thank god). Thanks again for being patient everyone. I still wouldn't mind doing more in the future. I was thinking maybe a "whatever everdrive you want" group buy since the discount is for money amounts now.

But that's for a later date.
