Title: EverDrive and TG-16 VS 3.0 Bios
Post by: Bernie on March 08, 2014, 03:28:46 AM
So, has anyone ran into this issue?  I have a TG-16 set-up with CD, and a Turbo EverDrive.  It will boot all system cards and regular CD games with no issues, but the 3.0...  No go.  Both Japanese and USA versions, I either get a system card error, or nothing, depending on what Super CD game I try to boot.  Kinda sucks, as I did not get this system region modded, and I cant see myself buying the SUPER UBER RARE USA card.  No biggie really, as I have a Duo as well.  I just found this curious.  Anyone else come across this?  The flash drive itself works perfectly, booting all HuCARD games with no issues and every CD I have thrown at it, except ones requiring the 3.0

Oh never mind... I just realized you are trying to use the everdrive as a super system card.... I haven't ever tried that. I still use my original SS card.

I thought anything higher than 1.0 bios doesn't work on the Everdrive. I could be wrong as I never tested any of them since I have a region modded Turbografx with an arcade card.

 The issue is with the original PCE/TG16 CD setups. The TE card has no ram on it, for use with the core system, so there's no SCD 192k ram for sys card 3.x to work on your setup. Duo or SuperCDROM addons, sure, but not the original units.

 The same is true for Populous rom on TE IIRC ( Duo or SuperCDROM addon needed).
