I have a TED.

BUT DAMN.

THESE CARDS ARE SO DAMN NICE.

I love the aesthetics, the quality, the awesome.

The awesome.

I love them.

OMG collextaridsm bubblikg up in my veins!

ToyMachine78 · 04/15/2016, 08:29 PM

Man... Great work! Those look amazing! Or as my 15 year old would say... Those are amaze-balls!

CrackTiger · 04/15/2016, 08:38 PM

I love how these cost infinitely more than PCEWorks' CD bootlegs, yet these three games aren't being sold as a set with a sticker wrapped around a dollar store energy drink for $400.

Very nice balance of authentic aesthetic and distinctively not original HuCards.

I might be interested in physical copies of homebrews if they become available down the road.

Ditto! Especially for translations. Valkyrie no Densetsu, Gekisha Boy, and Son Son II would be definite buys...and Eternal City, if that ever gets finished!

Killjoyy027 · 04/15/2016, 09:54 PM

These are really nice, this is great for gamers that want to play these game but do not want to pay the outrageous collector prices for the originals.

Psycho Punch · 04/16/2016, 12:01 AM

Do you have black & gold cards planned (like the one from the french user)?

turbokon · 04/16/2016, 09:29 AM

Yes we are planning to have black and gold cards for the near future.

Sennachereb · 04/16/2016, 01:57 PM

=D>This looks wonderful! I will certainly be in on this!

TheClash603 · 04/16/2016, 02:51 PM

I like this a lot, but also really like the idea for homebrew releases. If someone approaches you guys and asks to help them put out their homebrew on a new card, would you be able to do it? I assume price would need to go up in order for the creator of the game to get a cut too, which could be the trickiest part of the process in negotiating.

slinkyturd · 04/16/2016, 05:55 PM

Any chance they are available loose? Not a fan of the snap cases. I'd rather fish around for recycled actual cd cases.

schweaty · 04/16/2016, 06:15 PM

The cases are like $2 to produce. Not gonna make a difference on the price

sirhcman · 04/16/2016, 07:21 PM

Are these reproductions thicker or thinner than actual hu cards? The only thing I would be worried about is messing up the pins on your pce/tg16 if they aren't the exact same spec as the originals.

Also is the little arrow part where you hold the card a sticker or actually etched into the hucard?

They look to be the same thickness as the chucards? So like perhaps a smidgen thicker than og hueys?

Looks like the same gold print as the text.

thesteve · 04/16/2016, 08:57 PM

the thumb print and text is etchings with plating underneath

seieienbu · 04/16/2016, 09:09 PM

This is exciting news.

wilykat · 04/16/2016, 10:22 PM

Can you make repro Hucard based on Tennokoe bank card that's hacked to have more than 4 banks? The original Tennokoe likely uses 8KB SRAM chip and larger SRAM chip are easily found such as 32K (16 banks) and even up to 128KB (64 banks) Make it with battery holder for easy replacement.

Galder · 04/17/2016, 07:42 AM

Very pro work !

turbokon · 04/17/2016, 10:08 AM

We are also working on two games card by adding a switch. It will possible to have two games in one or same game but for both tg16 or pce.

Galder · 04/17/2016, 10:23 AM

Cool, will you ship to the UK?

Clacker · 04/17/2016, 11:35 AM

Wow, those are some beautiful looking cards. That must have been a huge undertaking. I can't imagine how much the mold for the plastic must have cost.

Yes, we should be able to ship anywhere around the globe.

Just guessing here but I think these are PCBs with a custom white solder mask, not plastic.

Johnpv · 04/17/2016, 02:52 PM

Can't wait to get a chance to pick these bad boys up!

Also the idea of tenokoe bank repro with easily replaceable battery would be AMAZING. Or maybe some one could program a similar thing but in english and one that let you move things individually.

So much this too. These are so reasonably priced considering. Thank you guys!

Turbo/PCE sets of games with notable changes, like Magical Chase, Bonks, Cratermaze, etc, would make very cool 2-game HuCards.

Not unless someone has made a title screen hack for Tatsujin that I'm not aware of.

Bloody Wolf for TG-16 isn't named Battle Rangers like the Western release of the Bloody Wolf arcade.

On a similar note, I always wondered why an awesome title like "Darius" was changed to "Sagaia" (or whatever it was called).

I am fine with changing titles to make them sound better (Mega Man > Rockman), but....maybe "Sagaia" sounded more fitting for "swarms of alien ships"....

Yeah, but you started an interesting discussion

Here are a couple of supergrafx titles that will be available.

sirhcman · 04/18/2016, 09:51 PM

AWESOME NEWS ON THE SGX STUFF!

was there ever any consideration for making the hucards a flat/matte gray color? might be neat looking if you could do something like that..

shabba · 04/19/2016, 09:43 AM

This looks better and better each time I come back to this thread.

Trenton_net · 04/19/2016, 10:30 AM

Maybe this is a dumb question (Sorry if it was already asked), but what region do these cards work on (ie. US/JPN)? In addition, does the customer have the option to have English/Japanese versions of the game in question installed or is there no choice?

Duo_R · 04/19/2016, 11:15 AM

Digging the SGFX games.

Not a dumb question at all. You will have your choice of what region system you want these to work on and whether you want the english or japanese software. Also in the very near future, there will be a option for a duo region card. It will have a switch that will let you select for pce or tg16 system. It still a work in progress.

I know, but I'd love simple hacks that just change things like title screens. The hack I want most is to restore Bikkuriman World to Monsterland.

Another couple cool title screen hacks would be turning Fighting Street into Street Fighter and Street Fighter II' into Fighting Street II'.
