Turbo Booster PLUS and Tennokoe Bank Questions! :)

[Lochlan]

Don't ever confuse me with Joe again.

LOL oops.

I'm going to blame the similar color scheme in your avatars.

Yep, confusingly similar color schemes.

:-"

does anyone have a 2nd Tennokoe Bank card? I have one, but thinking of purchasing a 2nd. What is the thought of that if you have a good size collection of Super CD games....

Two cards are indispensable for anyone with a largish collection that likes to keep high scores/game saves for posterity or who plays multiple, concurrent games (like nat said).  Since I generally play from beginning to end and don't care to keep saves once I've beaten the game (or it's beaten me), my two cards are seldom used nowadays. 

anyone have the link to the translated instructions? I know there are three modes, one time I erased some crap because I selected the wrong one.

I believe that Electrohaze had the translated comic up, but I can't find it now.  May I suggest that you try Black_Tiger's lovely guide instead?

The batter on the tennokoe is better than our duo too right (lasts longer for your saves)?

Battered and deep fried tennokoes; sounds delicious. 

A fresh lithium battery would indeed last longer than a capacitor, but don't forget that the Tennokoe's battery is already 15+ years old.  It's anybody's guess as to how much longer the Tennokoe's will save their saves without requiring a batteryectomy.

The graphical icons on the GUI that appears on the screen itself make it pretty obvious what each of the three options do... to me at least.

I wonder why they never made a cartridge capable of transferring individual saves.  Did they just not have the foresight to create something that everyone would want, or did they purposely make it clunky?  Knowing NEC, it's probably the former.

ok glad that you made one, but I know that there is a guide out there with screenshots. Oh well I guess it isn't that hard. It would be nice to have a little colored jewel sized insert that I could keep with the hucard.

I originally posted a guide with screenshots years ago and it's probably still floating around somewhere on some free web space, but I couldn't tell you where.

Hoobs,

is there a problem with the battery on the "bank?" Please link a guide if you have one.

You spelled it correctly.
The Tennokoe Bank apparently saves on a battery since I have seen directions somewhere on how to change the battery on it.

[hoobs88]

Apparently, the battery is good for about 15-20 years. The guide had photos showing how to replace the battery but the text was in Japanese...seemed pretty self-explanatory: remove the top covering of the Hu card, remove the battery, insert new battery, put cover back on. I think I saved the link on my work computer but I won't be back to work until Tuesday since I am observing Columbus Day. I'll try to locate it and post it if I find it.


...I could not find it. I thought it might have been on this site http://www6.airnet.ne.jp/wataru/index2.htm since there is a lot of Japanese text but I didn't have time to continue looking through all of the links there.

[Duo_R]

crap - so what I should do is buy another Tenokoe bank, replace the battery, and start swapping files into the second bank, then do the same with the first one. These are probably going to all start going out.

So do you just wedge the hucard open with a jewelers flat head? I don't want to damage.

this message has links to the 2 guides (both in JP).
