I have intimately handled and touched hundreds of PCE and TG-16 HuCARDs over the years... only a handful have ever been: (1) Dead as a doornail (2) Prone to graphical glitches Personally, I think it must have been "abuse" (as dshadoff defined in his post). Outward appearance seems fine, but I say *TRAUMA* was the culprit. THAT IS WHY I HAVE KEPT THEM WARM, SAFE AND DRY all these years. Why abandon them? They need a home. Sadly, I don't really have any of the bootleg stuff (to speak of its reliability)... and I haven't touched my Ten No Koe Bank HuCARDs in over a year. I hope they still function. Over the years, I have shared anecdotals about my poor, traumatized PC Genjin 2 Huey... but I am trying to remember other games that gave me serious problems... [INSERT PHOTO HERE] <-- A photo I have recycled dozens of times. I wanted to "get my money's worth" with the dead huey. Since I couldn't play it, it had to be a prop.

I have never had a Hucard die or go bad on me. I've had a Super Star Soldier that was DOA and bought 2 used system cards that caused glitches. I agree that truma or bending of a Hucard is most likely the cause a Hucard might die or have problems. I have a Duo Arcade card that appears to be bent or slightly curved. It works but causes games to glitch. I also have a 3.0 Super CD card that someone pried opened and caused one of the chips to break off. Some SCD games load up glitched and usually freezes. It still plays all regular CD games fine.

For some reason i've always had the game Cadash die on me. I've had 4 hucards alone not work, meanwhile the mountain of Keith Courages I have probably all work fine So does it randomly freeze on you? Or just stop working outright? Getting me a little concerned with my Turbo copy of Cadash. Nah, don't be worried. I'm sure with me it's just coincidental, however I have played through the game and encountered glitches that make the game unplayable. Wrote a nice little thing about it on the PCEFX, but my account and all posts got deleted so can't pull it up. One glitch that comes to mind was after you'd get the dog whistle, the game wouldn't register it and you wouldn't be able to talk to the dog. Forget what it did, but was impossible to continue on the game. With all my copies of Cadash that didn't work, they just wouldn't boot up at all

I own a dead copy of Gunhed special edition, it's definitely worth my while to research as much as possible! Ouch! Sorry to hear that. I recently picked up a copy of this, and would have been devastated if it didn't work.
