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?

you suck. you keep games in their shrinkwrap, never to be played, and then when you get one out, you destroy it! you are a gaming devil.  :evil:

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: .

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.
