You guys have heard of Akumajo Dracula Peke right? That mini-game hidden in Akumajo Dracula X that boots up if you don't have the right firmware/system card?

Well, I have a Super CD-Rom2, which doesn't need a system card to run games (not counting the arcade card if I wanna play arcade CDs, of course), and a copy of Rondo of Blood & wanted to know of there is a way to boot up the hidden minigame on my own.

I already know that the PSP compilation and YouTube can help offer that experience already, but I know it's already on my Rondo CD, so its just a matter of finding it and opening it up here.

Is it even possible?

What if you use a lower version system card in the Hucard slot? Like a 1.0 or 2.1?

That's what you have to do is run a lower system card in the hucard slot.  The hucard slot overrides the built in system.

If you have a flashcart, you can use a rom image of the lower cards too.

I don't own a lower system card, but if you pop in a Hucard game, will that work? Or will it just play the Hucard game? :p

The Hucard takes precedence over the CD so it will just play.

It'll just play the game.  Since you don't have a lower card, try it out in an emulator - there's not much to it anyway.

Hahahaha! Ok, so without a lower system card, I'll take my chances on youtube then. ;) Watch someone else play it. :) Thanks!

Yeah there really isn't much there.  As far as system card error screens go its leaps and bounds better than most others.  But in the end its a five minute amusement max.

I think there used to be a pretty sweet thread around here with pics of all the system card "error" screens.
