That's definitely not it. Another foreigner (not so popular) won it.
Never know if it was delivered, as auctioners generally get pissed off
when you don't ask if they'll ship internationally before hand, and I
know they didn't. I checked the Q&A before it was over as I wanted to
know how it worked, but nobody bothered. I'll hunt around.
Regards,
Paul

Those Bee card things were for the MSX and MSX2. Not PCE. They were by
Hudson though I think. So I guess it's where the HuCard idae came from.

Mike, I have both of them (in fact I have to PCE-LTs ... Anyone want to buy
one?) ... As another list member pointed out, the PCE-LT screen seems
better, but there's a pretty simple reason for this... The PCE-LT screen has
a direct connection into the system, whereas the PCE Duo Monitor only has a
composite video in connection... The same thing basically applies to the PCE
RGB Monitor combo vs. if you just took a normal PCE and hooked it up to a
composite-to-RGB convertor and plugged it into an RGB Monitor. Neither of
them, however, has a 6" screen ... The LT (I can't measure right now, I'm
moving so they're packed) is around 4" - bigger than the GT - and the Duo
Monitor is just slightly bigger than that. Then again, maybe my memory is
failing me... Probably the coolest thing about the Monitor however is its
form factor, and how it slides out to become the useable screen.

Hi gang,
I created another couple of patches...
This time, the patches are not translations, but they will let you play a
couple of games on the USA version of the Super System 3.0, that had
previously expected only to run on the Japanese version:
Alshark
Bonanza Brothers
Sorry, I haven't got A.III to work just yet...
Remind me if there are any others besides these 3 and the "Super CDROM
Sampler disc" (which I won't bother fixing).
You can find the patches at:
http://www.interlog.com/~daves/pce_dev/translt.html
(You need to make a CD-R copy with these patches installed in order to play
on the real device).
- Dave
