Very cool project. A suggestion- check out JLCPCB for possible future orders. They have been wonderful for me, and every bit as high quality as PCBway and OSHpark. Very competitive pricing. I had customer service issues with both the other places for hobby stuff. |

I’ll check them out. The price actually went down on shipping slightly for this latest batch from pcbway. In other news, I’ve been pondering making a PCE to TG16 adapter. The only difference between the two is the order of 8 pins are reversed on the edge connector. TG16 carts also have some rudimentary region protection that’s defeated by grounding a pin on a PC Engine. With that edge connector I linked previously and some tweaking of these PCBs, I feel like we’re close to being able to do this. Here’s an adapter on eBay that shows how simple this is.. :dunno |

Basically to have parallel traces and then define which path is used? |

Ordered a few of those connectors back when working on the HuCARD. Took right at 3 months to receive them. I had figured been took to the cleaners. That adapter a real need or just dreaming? |

I'm very happy There are still many PC-E players DIYing HuCARDs I will also post some pictures I made myself DIY large cards PC-Engine + large card super grafx + large card |
