Gauging interest for a group buy for Neo Flash Cart

I got my card, thanks. I've been able to make it work with my TE but got no luck with my TG16

Update: I just found out something. I'm using a turbo booster plus with my tg16. If I remove the TBP from my TG, the card is working. So this card won't work with a Turbobooster Plus.

Tried my card with my core II in the same interface system with no issues. I know it was mentioned my problem might be the region mod board but at least it rules out the ifu for me.

Just wanted an update from all the proud owners of these flash carts, has anyone NOT gotten yours yet? I would suspect they should be in everyone's hands by now.

Got mine. Card works good with what I've tried.

Thanks again Mishran!!

Still waiting for mine. But I'm in Spain, I guess that is normal.

I have a 128+ save version of the flash cart and I've had problems with the reset button on my gt. I don't know if its my gt but all the caps have been replaced but if I use the reset button the picture when I play another game gets all distorted and the borders on the right and left side come in, luckly it is ok now but just a word of warning for using the reset button on a gt, but I've had no problems using the reset button on my Duo, Pc Engine and Turbo Grafx.

thesteve · 03/30/2012, 02:53 AM

you should never use a reset button on any TG/PCE.
the reset controller wasnt wired for it, so it causes a momentary short in the system

Mishran · 03/30/2012, 07:18 AM

I believe he is referring to the reset button on the flash cart. It doesn't cause the system to reset, but the flash cart itself. I would hope that it wouldn't cause a problem with the system, but I'm not overly familiar with the cart, so who knows.

meka · 03/30/2012, 08:44 AM

Yes I was referring to the reset button on the flash cart, and it only caused problems of the gt, nothing else.

thesteve · 03/30/2012, 02:39 PM

im just not sure how its wired
it likely is a system reset

Yes! I got mine too!
Mishran, send you a PM

I've tried my cart is a few systems with mixed results.

At the end of the day., it works 100% with my PCE GT, so I'm happy

I've put up a video outlining my attempts with the coregrafx, PCE duo and tg16:

thesteve · 03/31/2012, 01:11 PM

i would guess your roms were loading in PCE mode on the TG16.
the US games will refuse to run unmodified on un-modded PCE systems (due to the PIN29 lockout)
good to hear its working on your GT.
what mod is in the CG (chip/butten etc)

c0ldb33r · 03/31/2012, 01:55 PM

The CG region mod was installed by BlueBMW and works great. Its a switch mounted on the side of the console.

nat · 03/31/2012, 02:43 PM

It all goes back to the weak data line/power line/whatever on the cart slot. These things are super-sensitive and it's just the luck of the draw what systems it will work on, and what systems it won't.

One thing I will say from the video, NeoTeam have at least updated the menu since I bought mine. The menu on mine is just a blank blue screen with a single line of text for the ROM name that you can change by pressing up/down. Also, mine doesn't have any sort of "SAVE" options.

thesteve · 03/31/2012, 03:24 PM

so the GT and the CG are running the same chip mod as each other.
its still a mystery then

incrediblehark · 04/01/2012, 04:30 PM

I think that's a custom menu made by one of the forum members on the neo flash site, so its nothing they officially updated.

Correct- I got it from their forums - it's just a menu graphics really. It looks like a tg16 so I like it
