Worked fine on my TG-16 with or without a Booster.  Both Rf and AV work fine with the Flash Cart.

Sounds like user error to me  :dance:

Be careful there, I'm not some noob that has no idea what's going on.

I'd be happy to post a video clip up. Believe me, it's baffling. I can't explain it. How it works 100% in my Duo and not in my unmodified TG-16 is beyond me.

Are you going to track D-Lite down and beat him up, or just settle for linking this thread to your blog?  :lol:

My first guess if it is not user error would be that maybe something in your console is grounding which shouldn't or something else like this, and the error is not so severe that it disrupts most Hucards.  However it is something which is enough to upset this programmable card?

My only other guess is that somehow the data it writes to the card, contained in the flash program has become corrupted in some way, so that when it writes it to the card it ends up errored?

These are both kinda long shots though.

Maybe somehow it is your special custom video out cable too.

Not possible, since I can walk into another room and it plays fine in my American TurboDuo.

Maybe somehow it is your special custom video out cable too.

Coupled with your first theory (grounding), I am thinking this likely has something to do with it. I am grounding my video signal to a specific pin on the expansion port that is supposedly a ground. Before I try RF I'm going to try grounding to a different pin and see if it affects anything.

Hey, if anyone is looking to get one of these 64 MB cards, I bought 2 from Bt and decided I only needed 1.  The other is still unopened, in it's plastic baggie.  I'll sell it for my cost ($85) plus shipping.  Anyone interested, message me.  Thanks!

Hey Nat, my purple PCE to TG-16 converter would play all Japanese HuCards fine, but would not see the Arcade Card Pro.  I had to cut a trace on the converter and then it worked.  Are you using a converter for this flash device?  Forgive me, as I have only read this page of the thread.

No, no converter. I suppose I can forgive you this time.  :D

Well I guess you shouldn't be too tremendously surprised, as most flash card type things are usually cheaply made "hacker quality" products that rely on ancient technology like parallel ports.
