[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Offical NEC Arcade Board???]

Today this very curious item got delivered that I won on Yahoo Auctions last month.

It is what appears to be an officially made PC Engine Arcade Board... as you can see from the pictures, it has Hudson chips (Hu6260, Hu6270 and Hu6280) along with some screen printed writing... NEC PWD-678 72406781.

At the front there is the HuCard slot and a slide power button, which makes me think this was maybe mounted in something... there is also an on-board controller port.

Then at the back the board has two connectors, one for Audio/Video and the other for power... there is also 3 adjustment pots in the middle of the board which maybe is for audio volume... I am not sure yet.

Now the writing on the board got me thinking as they looked familiar, so I looked at the other console main boards to compare...

White   -   PWD-623A 72406235
Core      -   PWD-814A 72408141
Core 2   -   Same as above
Shuttle   -   TBC
Super   -   PWD-820A 72408201
Duo      -   PWA-3285-A 72932851/5
Duo-R   -   PWA-3339-A 7233392
Duo-RX   -   PWA-3365-A 72933652

TG16   -   PWD-782A 72407822
TG-PAL   -   PWD-913A 72409131
T.Duo   -   PWA-3321-A 72933211


So looking again at what is on this board (PWD-678 72406781) it places its production between the original White and Core Grafx units.

Next job is to wire up a new connector and install in a cab and see what happens... I will keep you posted.

Has anybody ever seen a board like this before... let me know what you think.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Alpha Trading Co. Jamma Arcade Board]

Now I know that there are many PC Engine Arcade boards that are widely available on eBay and Yahoo Japan Auctions, and I had assumed that these were the handiwork of some Chinese factory knocking out more unlicensed crap. But I now know that is not correct, but before I explain anymore i'll give some background...

A few years ago, a few friends and I very sadly helped the owner of one of London's oldest Amusement arcades, the Goodge Street Casino, to clear out the last of the cabinets so it could finally close its doors to the public. As part of this closure, the owner's collection of cabinets, boards and artwork were also saved... and the guy in question was the owner of Electrocoin Automatics, John Stergides, who were the largest distributer of all Amusement Arcade cabinets and games in the UK and across Europe... similar to Romstar in the US.

Among the collection many rare and prototype boards were found, including amongst other things an unreleased Bubble Bobble 2 PCB...
http://www.jammaplus.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53192

And a wealth of Neo Geo MVS Prototypes that I currently have in my collection...
http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?238655-MVS-Proto-carts-Part-II

Anyway, back to why I actually started this thread...

So within this collection was a fairly ordinary and common PC Engine Arcade Board, but it what the board was packaged with that was most interesting... it was another friend who got hold of it first so for the last couple of years I have been trying to get him to part with it and now I finally have...




So obviously we have all seen these boards, but this one was the first one I had ever seen boxed and marked Alpha Trading...




But this system also came included with an airmail letter which again was stamped by Alpha Trading...





The first letter dated February 17th 1989, is from NEC and addressed to Alpha Trading confirming that they have importer/distributer rights of all PC Engine systems in Korea...



And the other letter was the original order invoice placed by Electrocoin on April 6th 1989...

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / PC Engine GT Screen Magnifier]

So I have been playing and collecting the PC Engine since the late 80s and have always been intrigued by the wealth of different hardware that is available for the system... which is why I created www.pc-engine.co.uk

But during this time I have never ever seen a Screen Magnifier for the PC Engine GT... but one has now turned up.

Now i'm trying to research this and google returns absolutely nothing... and I mean nothing, not even a picture.

So the question is, does anyone know anything about it... where does it come from, who made it etc..? Anything would be great to hear.

Cheers.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / TurboChip Boxes]

Now this maybe a dumb question but from living in the UK and importing games from Japan I never bought any US games until recently so I have no idea of the answer.

Most of the games that come up or sale nowadays do not come with an outer box, but was it actually the case that some did not come with it or did all games originally retail with this cardboard sleeve..?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Ten Key Controller on Yahoo Auctions]

So did anyone on here win this, I tried to get it but I maxed out at 25,000¥...
http://page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u70185700



I knew it was rare, but I cannot believe it went all the way upto 59,000¥. Even if I had of won it, I would not be able to do anything with it as tracking down one of the software CDs would be nigh on impossible... and expensive.

Anyway, good luck to who ever did manage to get it... and hopefully they have some software and could perhaps post some more info on this as the only thing I could find was this...

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / HuCards in the wrong box]

Over the many years of buying PC Engine games I now have a handful that have got the wrong box for the HuCard which I was going to replace to get the right one, but it got me thinking.

There must be loads of us out there in the same situation with our games, so has anyone before every tried to set something up so we can bring back together the correct boxes for the HuCards.

Just a thought... let me know what you think..?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Western Tie-Ins]

So there are a number of games, both released in Japan and the US, that are Tie-ins to Western TV or Film franchises. The ones I am aware of are...

Addams Family
Batman
Darkwing Duck
Die Hard
Knight Rider
Talespin

Well, apart from Batman they all seem to be utter shite.

So my question is, have I missed any and more importantly are there any that are actually good fun to play...? 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / TurboGrafx Boxes]

This is a dumb question and I probably already know the answer but as I have only ever played and collected Japanese PC Engine games.. I don't know.

Did every TurboGrafx game come originally packaged in plastic case and a cardboard outer box?

Just curious as I would like to get all the games that were never released in Japan and on eBay you very rarely see TurboGrafx games with boxes so didn't know whether I would be getting a complete game or not.

Cheers.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Caravan Special HuCards - What are they worth?]

Forgetting the stupid eBay prices as those ones never seem to sell, what is the average price each for these 3 special cards...?

Cheers.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Am I missing something with this eBay auction...]

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXTREMELY-RARE-YOUKAI-DOCHUUKI-GOLD-HUCARD-PC-ENGINE-JAPAN-IMPORT-MINT-/300758936136?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item4606a12a48

Saw this on eBay today but it just looks like a regular copy of Tales of the Monster Path.

The HuCard looks white on the back and faded yellow on the front... so what exactly is he thinking by asking $3000 for it... 

...or have I missed something..?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / PCP Magazine]

In the early nineties I used to buy all my PC Engine games from Dreamware (VideoGameImports.co.uk, Dream Machines or what ever you want to call them today) and spent many an hour sitting on the phone to Lee chatting about the latest PC Engine games and which ones I should buy and which ones we both enjoyed playing. My only regret of those chats was not taking Lee up when he offered me his personal Laseractive for £200...

Anyway, at some point during that time, as a regular customer I got put on the mailing list of a home made PC Engine Magazine named PCP. I recently dug it out from my loft and wondered if anyone on here knows anything about it...who it was that created it, how many issues there were etc. I think there might have only been one issue as I also have a letter from the editor stating that they were stopping the magazine.

Cheers.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Space Fantasy Zone]

Does anyone know somewhere to get a copy of Space Fantasy Zone at a reasonable price..?

I have seen them for sale here...
http://sapphire.anime4ever.de/

And I have read the threads regarding him marketing the homebrew of Rockman, so I am bit reluctant to buy anything from him especially as I have no idea who he is.
https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=11691.0

But I would really like to have a nice copy of Space Fantasy Zone and don't want to get ripped off, like the ones I have seen on eBay for over £100
So if anyone know where to get a copy or has one they might want to pass on, then please let me know.

Cheers.

I have been a forum member for a while and have only read articles, but thought it was about time to introduce myself. As I can't find a 'New Members' thread, thought I would post it here.

I received this in the post today...



...and it has now enabled me to give a home to one of my prized gaming possessions...







I have had the LT and Super CDROM2 since about '99... sadly they are both unboxed hence the need for the case.

I had been searching for the LT -> Super CDROM2 adapter for years and then stumbled across one on eBay UK about 7 years ago for.. somehow I snagged it for £50... bargain.
