I just received a copy of Granzort but I don't yet have a Supergrafx to play it on. I tested it on a PC Engine and a Core Grafx (I didn't expect it to work, I'm not THAT stupid) and it gave a white screen, is this normal? I thought there might be some warning screen like "This is only intended for use on a Supergrafx console". The reason I ask is because I'm not sure whether it works at all or not, as when I received it the card was loose inside the case without a sleeve or any other kind of protection to prevent it from sliding around.I suppose the only way to find out for certain is to wait until I get a Supergrafx.

I sold a copy of Street Fighter II on ebay a few years ago and it worked fine before I sent it. The recipient informed me that it was not working properly (they even uploaded a video to Youtube as proof), so the damage must have happened in transit. It was in its case with the sleeve but it must have been flapping about in there to get damaged.

Or the game was already defective. As said hucards are very tough, it would take a ridiculous amount of shaking to damage it, to the point where the box was completely destroyed
The only SuperGrafx game so far which has an "Only for use on SuperGrafx" warning screen when played on a PC Engine is Axelay.

I've only ever had 1 hucard that was actually broken. Most of the time if there is an issue with a white screen/ game not booting, i'll pull the card out slightly (basically as far out as it will go but still have the power switch lock work), and it works fine.
Never had a broken huey but my SFII hucard (thrown in by doujindance when I bought a Duo from him) was discharging this oily goo when I first tested it. Cleaned it, left it alone. Up to a week later this oily type of residue was still going on.
