Duo games reproduction hucard WIP.

That's what I'm talking about.

A physical switch to change games is completely...archaic   
Nowadays you should use a µC (like a pic) to achieve this properly without this old-school manipulation.
You can also put more than 2 games (and add a selection menu, but that's another story).
For 2 games the best way is to just cycle them with the on/off power switch.

Can you put cd games onto the hu's?

Thanks for the feedback ichigo[emoji4]. Adding a physical switch is the simplest solution to the current design.  We will explore other options in the very near future for mutli games reproduction hucards.

I have something like this.  I call it an "everdrive".

Completely different process and price.
You loose

Everdrive looks like a naked board with a bunch of chips. It doesn't look like a flat white card with nice label.

ED is fine for people who prefers to play games and doesn't care about looking authentic.  Repro looks a lot better and if no one looks closely, make your friend jealous!

Have a few Magical Chase repro, invite your friends over, let them go gaga over what looks like $50,000 worth of few loose games laying around.

So by the time you add a microcontroller, rom to hold the boot loader thingy, and additional rom for multiple games it'll look exactly the same as these and not cost any more?  Sweet!

I fully support making booty hueys that replicate originals (or even multi-rom boots like the cycled power ones from back in the day), but what's the point if you're gonna make things that look like hueys but play like a flashcart?  The authenticity goes right out the window as soon as you turn it on and see a boot menu.  You'd essentially end up with a nice looking tototek flashcart: boot screen, room for only a few games, and you can't update it because nobody has parallel ports any more.

The Turbo Everdrive has nice 3D covers to match the hardware and that's all you see when it's plugged in. If you're playing on a Duo, you can't see the game at all.

The whole point of these repros is that they don't look close enough to fool anyone who would care about collectible value. Even if they did, if the appeal is to leave them lying around naked to make collectards jealous, you're better off investing in high quality labels and just sticking them on cheap HuCard games. They'll be 95% convincing instead of 65% and you'll save a lot of money on display pieces.
