I think the game freezes momentarily too. The screen does blank when you take a screenshot. Jason/GameTechUS couldn't figure out what that was for but now it's clearly so that you can see if you got the frame you want before dumping the frame buffer to the PC.This is nice to have, but it'd be easier to do this in an emulator. That's why the screen freezes when you press the button.

QuoteIt can dump the framebuffer to your PC as a PNG file. Neat!This is probably my most used function of this device. QuoteThey added HuCard/TurboChip dumping to both as an "unofficial" function. There is no SD card slot on the board, so I'm thinking it might be as simple as soldering one on there and updating the firmware (I hope!).

The changes seem to be minor stuff, like the ability to update without a PC, slightly different port positions, double the internal SRAM (2Mbit to 4Mbit) even though it doesn't currently utilize the extra 2Mbits for anything, and it uses a standard sized SD card (as opposed to microSD?).My understanding is the UGX-01 can be upgraded to support CD-ROM titles but will cost extra for this service. Perhaps they both have it but compatibility is different? They mention the possibility of renovating/retrofitting the old ones but they have not offered/priced the service yet. Some statements seem to imply that the UGX-01 CAN run CD-ROM titles, and it isn't listed in the short list of differences. Though the English site says that all the hardware for CD-ROM^2 functionality is present/populated, the Japanese site presents the function as a new feature for the UGX-02 hardware (original is UGX-01).

Just remember, I'm no expert in video signals or anything like that. I've played around with pretty much every function and if anyone has any questions, I'll try to answer as best as I can. I have an UperGrafx (UGX-01: no CDROM or SD version) and I think it works well for what it does.
