What happened?  I'd hate for that to have been a good/working Cadash that's now in two pieces.
Current want list:  Bomberman 93

We just talked about Cadash! :wink: But this wasn't my playing copy. I got this a few months from a store that had it returned back because it didn't work. Thinking I could maybe get it to work I took it (or at least get to see what it's like inside) I had no luck fixing it. Saying I cleaned the shit out of it is an understatement. I went above and beyond to try and get it to work, so I pryed it open and yeah. Still no work.

I'll send it to someone if they swear on their life not to post it to eBay as "untested"

(sees Cadash)




My past-life would've surely led to our demise, and I had left it not a moment too soon. Our escape, though dangerous, had gone well. The train ride, sunlight, and passing snow-covered pine trees came together in a flickering show of our bright, new future together. Her head rested on my shoulder as she soundly slept to the gentle rocking of the passenger car. We felt freedom. We felt peace.

I bet some of the internal traces had microfractures. I periodically reflow my most valuable games by microwaving  for a few seconds to make sure they don't suffer the same date as your Cadash.

I prefer roasting my HuCARDS at 375°F for a few minutes every two years or so.

As a preventative measure, it's much safer than the microwave.

boil it

It should be sealed in a mint-condition cardboard box for boiling to be effective.

I generally just blow on mine and that seems to work.



I had no idea the hucards had an "inside". I thought the card was flat, except for the very edge. But I'm an idiot, so I was wrong.

I've never seen any pictures of what the insides look like before, had to find out for myself :)

Damn it's gettin medieval in here! But boiling it, Really? I know there's 0 on stats on the screen, and it's overall not very balanced as other Working Design games. But I don't know if it deserves the punishment of the damned =P~ (unless it's 7th saga).
I guess using extreme heat is the viking funeral for Turbografx games, PM me if you're name isn't Karlmarx and i'll ship it lettermail for $3 to anyone looking to vent their Cadash frustrations.

I did not think of this :-k

I had to look up what the game was. Looks like a better version of MotoRoader.

I wonder though if all TG16 boards are the same? I know some games have different weight, and the black part can vary in size. So they probably look different.
