@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up... |

Recently finished DE.JA (Super CD).
What a great story.
It also has a sequel, which unfortunately wasn't released on PC Engine.

So he's trying to decide if Super Castlevania IV [SNES] is still his all-time favorite though mostly against Symphony of the Night [PS1] by the end. Anyway, pretty good 25-minute retrospective of Castlevania legacy.
On the other hand, the opening vampire skit REALLY sucks... I wanted some kind of joke out of this like "AVGN 2024 version updated for modern audiences..." It validates typical trends that everything sucks nowadays (mediocrity is the default), haha.Funny enough, I didn't realize the obvious vampire/sucks pun in my first post draft, had to edit it in, *I* suck!
I personally prefer both Dracula X (PC-Engine), and Vampire Killer (Megadrive) over Super Castlevania IV.
Not that I dislike Super Castlevania IV ; but I am often surprised at how highly people rank it compared to other games in the series.

Ah, too bad!
My advice:
1) Ask/PM @Keith Courage while he's around. He was just here by request.
2) Use the forum Search function for "white screen" - I'm sure I've seen old posts/threads about this problem in my years viewing this forum. There may be some lost clues somewhere in old posts.
Example: Here's a case that @thesteve (a pro EE & Turbo Expert) fixed with explanations of what was investigated/probed/etc. (he's retired though, you can't hire him).
EDIT: 3) To help out somewhat further, I reached thesteve on Facebook and asked for general advice on no-boot/white-screen failures, he said to check the reset pin and address lines!
Best of luck.

Hi
Full recap was done. Always white screen
I dont know what i can check now.
No burning points on the mainboard.
What could I consider to be the cause of the problem? It is Hucard port issue or Gpu/cpu issue ?
It seems that the white screen can come from many sources.... i dont know where to start
If people have some tips ! thanks to share it
have a nice day

Hahahahaha!!! Does this remind you of anyone ??

Last post by cho_aniki - 05/02/2024, 10:03 PMThat's interesting, I had never made the connection between Bloody Wolf and Commando before.
But it makes sense that the people at Data East would have loved a movie such as Commando.

Currently playing Ane-San, definitely one of my favourites.
