Title: PC Engine HuCard Repair
Post by: thatguyontheright on August 07, 2013, 09:12:32 AM: I recently purchased Street Fighter 2 on the PC Engine and the (Smeghead) seller shipped it in a plain white envelope, and the card got damaged, and bent out of shape. The only way I can get it going is if I press the card down when it is in the system, and what I get is this (Picture)

Corrupted Graphics. Is this fixable? Is it possible to take apart a hucard and reflow some traces to fix this?

I meant to mention this earlier, but sorry to hear you had a crummy purchase. :( Hopefully it didn't set you back very much and you can get another for not too much.

Post by: thatguyontheright on August 07, 2013, 03:02:30 PM: all together, both purchases amount to less than $30. I was hoping to get more PC Engine games (I only have two, and I cant play (PAC-Land and Cyber Knight)) I got a TG-16 card because the seller of my PC Engine said it was modded, and alas, nope. Atleast I have an AV Booster though.

Post by: thatguyontheright on August 08, 2013, 11:03:09 AM: I got my PC engine and I am enjoying the 1 game I can play (Cant read Japanese), I never even knew about the TG-16 when I was a kid, the first time I heard of it was when the Wii Virtual Console was announced back in like 05 or what ever, and they said Turbo Grapfx 16. I got the PC Engine because well...it was given to me. The person couldn't get it to work, so he just loaded it onto me. I took it apart and noticed the fuse was gone (jumped with a wire) and the voltage regulator was blown, so I replaced them and got a working PC Engine, with the AV Booster. I would like an official PC Engine controller or a 6 button controller, and a way to play TG-16 games on it...but...time.
