Easy to use HuFlashCard?
« on: March 29, 2011, 07:10:10 AM »
I've seen a few here and there for sale, but there never seems to be a simple solution. Either the interface only works with some ancient Windows computer or things just simply don't work for one reason or another. Can anyone recommend a simple, idiot-proof Hu-based flash card?

The neoflash isn't that hard to get working (if I can manage the task, anyone can), but you'd need access to a Windows PC.

Hmmm. I have a Mac, but can and do boot up Windows when needed, so maybe I'll check this out. If you know of a trustworthy place to pick one up at a decent price, let me know. Otherwise, I'll sniff around online and see what I can find. Thanks again!

The official store is likely your only chance for new, but you can always keep your eyes open here for a deal on a used one.

This thing looks awesome. Just curious, does the save feature act like a TurboBooster Plus?

I think it's only for games that have save support on the cartridge, which is only the Tennokoe Bank card (Populous lies!); and since Tennokoe Banks are dirt cheap, there ain't much point of spending the extra dough over a non-saving version.

The PCE really needs an Everdrive.  An SD cart just slides into a slot and that's that!  Couldn't be easier or better.  Too bad it doesn't exist for the PCE, but I have been campaigning for one.

Agreed, I have an Everdrive for the Genesis and it's incredible. Would even be more awesome if some type of TurboBooster Plus functionality could be built in as well.

Where can we throw our weight around to make this happen?

The NeoFlash PCE is your best bet.

The bastard is so easy to get going now.

Also, the new NeoManager was done with WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), so it basically has that ribbonstyle interface of all the M$ products.

So, its shiney and has massive ass buttons that say exactly what to do.

instead of that janky piece of shit from before.

I'm really tempted to pull the trigger. Krikzz has other carts coming up, so I'm betting it'll be a while before the PC Engine gets some Everdrive lovin'. Plus, I do like shiny things and massive buttons...

Krikzz has announced his PC Engine EverDrive (or whatever he ends up calling it), to be released in the first half-ish of next year!

Scroll down about halfway, to post 253, and read on: http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33481&page=13

The NeoFlash software has a Mac version. Has anyone tested it with the NeoFlash PCE? 

Not that I'd ever use it on one of those.

A PCE Everdrive? Sweet! I don't personally own an Everdrive, but I will now! Guess I can stop debating on a NeoFlash cart now and just wait for this. :dance:
