dissect the bumble bee
« on: November 25, 2007, 12:10:49 PM »
ok, I have here lying a street fighter II' hucard in front of me, and the question is now, should i dissect it and determine the innards? or should i leave it in one "peace"?

and since i can't decide it on my own, i will listen to you guys. so vote wisely :)

PS: as an info, that one costed me less than 25 cents and on the top, it isn't in the best shape out of the remaining 7 pieces i have in stock meanwhile.

You've never seen the inside of an SFII' HuCard before?

I voted yes! You must make sacrifices to gain knowledge. Plus it would be cool. I hope that if you do, that you post some pics of the innards  :)

I voted yes so you can post pictures so I don't have to annihilate my own copy.

@sign: no, i believe i've seen some pix of inside the bulky ten no koe bank and eventually the populous hucard, which where all empty where you expecting something have to be.

@guy, as i said, it isn't just up to me. and this game is so damn common that i could buy tons of it and use it as bricks to build up a new fancy house.

@D: it's all 'bout that.

I voted yes. You probably have a thousand extra copies of it anyways  :mrgreen: .

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

since the poll seems to be already decided, there will be no return :-({|=

so as for the people (me including) which do not know yet, if there really is something hidden under the bulky area, so what do you guess? :)

the betting office is open now :!:

I don't think there is anything over the bulky area.

The chips themselves will only be on the backside of the black PCB. The raised area is only provided as a means for Capcom to get a chance to have a picture label the same size as all the other HuCARDs.

I think it will be full of gamma radiation which will turn your outside into the hideous mutant you are inside.  :twisted:

I think underneath the bulky area there is a FPGA that has the sole task of "Blast Processing emulator".

I think the bumble bee is going to fly out and kill you.
