Got my flashcart yesterday, working fine with my RGB and Region modded PC-Engine Duo-R. Having some issues with some games tho, but i guess its the roms, Air Zonk (U) is one of them, not sure if there are games that use special chips on the turbografx?
If you are having issues you might have a bad ROM or a ROM with some kind of junk header or something. No games have "special chips". Every single commercial game should work fine with one exception. Populous (J) will not work. But everything else with a good ROM file will.
I'm affraid I have also some issues. Coryoon sometimes hangs or shows currupted graphics, Download and FUSHIGI NO YUME NO ALICE also. I have Coregraphx II (orange label) with Tennokoe unit moddded for RGB.
GoodPCE are in 99% the same as no-intro. Just check CRCs. GoodPCE roms works fine with Tototek card (which I've sold 2 months ago). Before I pack card for sale I play a lot including Coryoon and everything was fine. The same rom on Everdrive cause random graphics corruption or simply hangs. Some other games are affected but rarely. I'll make test without tennokoe unit but I think Everdrive should work with this addon without problems just like Tototek card.
Some thing is wrong with the GoodPCE set, tried the NoIntro set now and it works flawless with all games.
I don't think it's cause. Games works but after some time hangs. For example if I pass level 3 in coryoon first time it's ok. Attract mode loops sometime for 5 mins and sometimes for 1 hour. On second credit hangs during play. I've check on 2 different cards. One 2 Gb from my N5 flash (fragmentation might occur) and new Sandisk 1 Gb (clean full format FAT32, copied all files in one pass using Total Commander. O & O Defrag does not show any fragmentation. EDIT. Ok, I've programmed Coryoon without Tennokoe unit and play without tennokoe unit - plays fine till level 4. After that I've attached tennokoe unit and play again (without programming) and hangs just before level 3 (but I can reset game using combination SELECT RUN). So rom is fine, everdrive reading from microSD is also fine. So what exactly to be problem ? Tennokoe eats too much much power with Everdrive? Megadrive I PSU is too weak for both of them? My RGB mod eats to much power from +5V ?
May be problem in power supply, but not in AC adapter itself, may be internal voltage regulator inside of pce is weak, so, can't give enough power. You may try to use separate 5v volage regulaor for yours rgb mod circuit
I'm a bit late to the discussion, so sorry if this has already been asked of those having problems... Do you have new capacitors, or old capacitors? If there is more than one place to get 5v from, when doing the RGB Mod, how bout trying a different 5v source, as Kirkzz suggests?
But cart works fine on your modded system without tennokoe, if i understand correctly. Looks like tennokoe does not have own 5v source, so, this thing use 5v source which is shared with pce
No, RGB mod is in tennokoe not in PCE. Removing tennokoe I also lack rgb mod. I did like that because I like have pure console without any mod. Problem might occur with only tennokoe unit itself. But why everything was fine with tototek cart?
May be tototek cart need less power, or tototek cart is more tolerant to some extra noise on bus which may generated by tennokoe. Hard to say for sure.
I have been playing with my pce+tennokoe for the last 2 days, haven't noticed anything strange... I have also rgb-modded my system...
