Hey all! 

As a sign of appreciation to Chop5 for his unbelievable contribution to this community, I designed a little CD case for your chopsado to fit in.  Here are links to print out your own case:

I'm not very good at spell-checking, so please let me know if you see any errors.  :wink:  Also, any feedback on how to improve it would be appreciated as well.

Thanks, Chop5!

Yep, steve and another member here came up with a chip that after installed in your express, Duo, or TG16, you can play any region HuCARD.  :)

Plus with another extra chip, your TE can region switch without a physical switch. Just hold down one of the control buttons when you turn on your system, and PRESTO! Instant region switch. BlueBMW did the region mod on my CoreGrafx and did a fantastic job. Thanks again for that Blue, still works like a charm! :mrgreen:

Thought I'd add the PCE adaptor I made to the gallery.  Looks like it's similar to the idea Chop5 had in the first picture of his first post.

I made it out of an original 32bit PCI extension cable (not PCI-E), something like this:



I removed all but one ribbon cable, cut the bottom PCB to the size of a hucard, removed the pins from one side of the PCI slot and widened the slot a bit with a dremel so a hucard could fit in.  Then I cut the traces on the top PCB for the 8 data lines to rewire.  The bottom PCB needed a little plastic or tape since it was too thin to make contact in the cartridge slot without it.  It's been working great for my use in a Duo.  I don't have a TurboExpress to try it with, but it holds the hucard and plugs into the system snug enough that neither would fall out, although the ribbon cable may be a bit long.

Hope this helps anyone looking to make an adaptor.  I think it cost me about $6~7.
