i picked up a nomad off of craigslist and did the tft lcd screen mod.  i also figured out a much easier way to wire it in than all the tutorials online.  had to use the flash because the screen was so bright that was all you could see in the pic.

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!

got the game in the mail yesterday and immediately went to work.  here's what i received.  lots of corrosion like in the original post.

i always pop in a game just to see what's wrong with it before i do anything to it.  in this case, it was as advertised:  solid color screen of death.  my go-to move is to hit the pins with a plastic eraser.  i figured it was the quickest solution and at least worth a shot.  the eraser had minimal effect and the result was predictable:  solid color screen of death.  i was all out of brasso and counter-top cleaner so i moved on to what i thought was my last best hope.  i soaked the pins in white vinegar for a few hours, dried it off and hit it with the plastic eraser to remove any remaining corrosion.  i let it sit overnight to make sure it was dry before i put any electric current through it.  here's what it looked like when i was done:


and here is the result:

Brag time.  Been looking for years for a PAC-N10 that wasnt a stupid price.  Had to buy a huge lot, fix/repair a few things, and get a little lucky, but I made the economics work.  And now I have another expensive thing I didnt really need that is redundant to another console.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: Loose Order of the Griffin]

its in pretty good shape.  see pics for condition.  asking $50 shipped anywhere in the lower 48.  cheers!

[General Gaming / Re: Space Berzerker question]

Check the discs themselves for the numbers.  That's a quick way to tell US from Japan.  US games start with like PEASU while Japan games are PEASJ or something like that.

so they are both PEASU1003.  but the plot thickens a bit.  i dont know how i missed this before, but they both have difference prints in the center of the discs.  i'm starting to believe in the different print runs theory.  my only issue with that is that the print numbers on these were so small, i don't understand what would justify multiple print runs

[General Gaming / Space Berzerker question]

other than the green and black OBIs, the 2 Mega LDs in in the picture are identical in every way.  does anyone know what the difference is (other than maybe they ran out of green or black OBIs)?  my initial guess is one is the japanese release and the other is the US, but i have nothing to back that up.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: US Turbo Duo (Recapped) - SOLD!]

Found this in the wild a few months ago and finally got around to recapping it this weekend.  It's been completely disassembled, cleaned, greased as required, and had its capacitors replaced.  It's in pretty good shape (see pics for condition).  Tested on original pressed CD and Super CDROMS, CDRs, pressed repros, pressed homebrew, and music CDs.

Also included is an original controller which has also been disassembled and cleaned, the original power supply (which is immaculate) and an original AV cable.  Price is $320 shipped anywhere in the CONUS.  Payment only accepted thru Paypal and as a gift (or add 2.9% +$.30 for buyer protection). 

I also have a Crest of Wolf for sale in the PC Engine sales thread if interested.  I will drop $3 off the price if you want it. 

Cheers!

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Component Video Modded LaserActive]

decided to start a new thread on this since this isnt really a RGB mod (old thread).  i used Turbokon's v1 component board.  there are absolutely no jail bars to be found.  FEKA games are in black and white for some reason (must be the board design) but I play more Mega LD on this than FEKA anyway so no big loss there (glorious composite will suffice).  here's some pics (sorry for the daytime glare, you'll just have to trust me when i say those pixels could cut hard cheese):

Just wanted to update this post to let everyone know that after an arduous 6 week journey across the pond and 3 months in storage, all my stuff made it in-tact and with no damage.  Everything is in its new home now.  Thanks for all the responses I got to this thread.  Here's a pic all cozy n' shit:

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: Turbo Express Recapped + Air Zonk (loose w/sleeve) SOLD!!!]

Hey everyone,

I have a TE I just recapped available.  Works great.  Its been completely disassembled and cleaned.  Comes with a loose Air Zonk.  See pics for condition.  There is a scuff on the battery door.  The Air Zonk is in great shape. 

Price is $235 + shipping to the the lower 48 only (sorry).  Shipping should run about 10-ish.  PM if interested.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: For Trade/Sale: Commons, Manuals, TG16 Console]

I had a good trade with this guy.  Seems like a stand up dude.

Did you get one of these?

No... that's weird.  It must've been a real PITA to remove those labels in one piece.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: Air Zonk loose $65 shipped]

See pics for condition.  This is exactly what I paid for it.  PM if interested.  Merry Xmas!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What PC-Engine Stuff did you get today?]

I spoke recently about how I used to have a TurboDuo but foolishly sold it, and that got the nostalgia juices flowing again. Just so happens a bud did an awesome trade with me for a PCE Duo he's had laying around for years.



The little bags are a cap kit, RGB mod kit, and OBEY chip.

your pics arent showing up for me on chrome

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

Didn't get these all at once, but I've been working on finishing the set for a while now and just got the last (and most expensive one)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Games for Sale]

To box, or not to box, that is the question:

The seals and VGA gradings of outrageous flippers,
Or to take Side Arms against a Sea of Love,
And by opposing end them: to die, to obey no more.

$50 from perennial good guy BMW. 

now that is a score.... who's balls i gotta jiggle to get a deal like that?  BMW, if you get dry balls, give me a ring... i will fix it.

I've been waiting for the US DVD release of this for ages. And sure enough it was waiting for me in my mailbox.

Amazon says the release date isnt until 1 sept.  How did you get it?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: Super CDROM2 & CoreGrafxII recapped & component modded - SOLD!!]

This one stings a little.  I know one day I will regret this, but I'm selling my Super CDROM2 setup.  This thing is an absolute tank.  It has never failed to play a single CD be it an original game, pressed bootleg, homebrew, burned game, you name it.  The only thing wrong with it is the LED doesnt come on when a disc is playing, but it hasn't bothered me enough to fix it.

Since I have owned it, I have replaced all the capacitors and installed Turbokon's V1 component video PCB.  I used a 8-Pin DIN socket in the place of the factory socket, so an original AV cable (which is included) can be used instead of the custom component cable if you want.  If you have a modern flat screen TV please ensure it can use 240p signal prior to making an offer. 

Everything you see in the pics below are included.  This includes the original controller, ac adapter, and av cable.  Also included is a factory replacement HOP-M3A replacement laser.  Price is $375 shipped anywhere in the 48-states.  PM if you have any questions.

FYI - I am not getting out of the Turbo game and I do not need money.  I just need to make some space and clear out some redundant systems (this is the last one I'm selling)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: US TurboDuo Recapped, Region and Component Video Modded - SOLD!!]

I might regret selling this one day, but for your consideration is my US TurboDuo.  It was region modded by the previous owner with a huge switch (just like KC mentioned in another thread), but the work was solid with heat shrink on all the connections and it works great, so I have left it alone.  It is the blue switch on the back in the picture.

Since I have owned it, I have replaced all the capacitors and installed Turbokon's V2 component video PCB.  I used a 8-Pin DIN socket in the place of the factory socket, so an original AV cable (not included) can be used instead of the custom component cable if you want.  If you have a modern flat screen TV please ensure it can use 240p signal prior to making an offer. 

Lastly, the laser has been dialed in on thesteve's oscilloscope and it includes an additional HOP-M3 laser (not pictured).  Everything you see in the pic below is included.  Price is $400 shipped anywhere in the 48-states.  PM if you have any questions.

FYI - I am not getting out of the Turbo game and I do not need money.  I just need to make some space and clear out some redundant systems.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Race is on B1tches! - How many have you cleared?]

Couple of clears from the last week or so:

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS/FT: NOS Turbopads (2) SOLD!]

I have a pair of Turbopads that need new homes.  I firmly believe these have never been used, however, the boxes are far from "case fresh" condition.  See the pics below.

One is definitely in the better condition of the two of them.  Let's call the "less nice" box a little worse for wear in one of the corners and along its bottom side.  The nicer of the two boxes is the one with the small tear in the upper right hand corner on its back side.

All that being said both controllers are in "never used" condition with their plastic trays fully intact and with all the paperwork that came with them.  This includes the instruction sheets, registration cards, and preview booklets.   Both controllers still have the protective film on them

I would prefer to trade these.  Here are the games I am currently looking for:

Dragon's Curse
Military Madness
Bloody Wolf
Monster Lair
Shape Shifter

However, I would be willing trade these for cash money as well.  Let's say:

For the Nicer one:  $40 shipped (CONUS only please or Germany)
For the Less Nice one:  $30 shipped

If I don't get any interest by Sunday night, I will throw them on Feebay.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTT: Blazing Lazers w/Manual for Manuals I need]

I have a loose Blazing Lazers w/Manual in really nice shape I would like to trade.  The manual looks barely used (no creases on spine) and the cart has no scratches.  I will even throw in a sparky label. 



Here's the manuals I am looking for:

Ordyne
Aero Blasters
Sidearms
Order of the Griffin
Dead Moon
Soldier Blade
Jackie Chan
Time Cruise
Shockman
Hit the Ice
Psychosis

I am also looking for some games as well.  Here is that list:

Shapeshifter
Monster Lair
Bloody Wolf
Dragon's Curse
Military Madness
Exile

I realize there might need to be some cash thrown in to even things out.  If you aren't interested in Blazing Lazers and have some of what I am looking for, I would also trade chedda or scrilla (as required).

thanks.  when my wallet saw this, it had an aneurysm

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: 60hz mod on a PAL TG-16]

Ok... got it today and opened her up    First thing i noticed is that the AV jack looks the same one in the PCE's that is an easy swap out for an 8-DIN jack.  I will have to test and see which ones are the audio ports, but this should work after the ground pins are swapped. 

Second pic shows the 17.73448MHz crystal oscillator that will have to be replaced (yellow square).  Can someone tell me what the thing is in the red circle?  its clearly related to the crystal, but what do i need to do to it (if anything)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: Takahashi Meijin (PCE New Adventure Island) CIC - SOLD!]

Recently picked up the US version and cant really justify keeping both.  The price is $40 shipped anywhere in the lower 48.  That's what I paid for it and if nobody wants to pay that, I guess I will just keep it.  PM me if interested.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Legendary Axe II Sparky label]

So, yeah, I cant stand looking at KC on my shelf any more.  See the pic.  It makes me want to cry to see this glorious game  brought down so low.  I also need a LAII label.  If you bought the big Sparky set but dont have any use for these 2, please hit me up.

Edit:  KC label sourced.  Still looking for Legendary Axe II.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Free to a good home: Homemade Composite Cable for TG-16]

This is now free to the first person that wants it.  I will still pay for shipping.



All the connections are soldered and the D-Sub connectors have heat shrink around them.  I made it based on this YouTube video (credit where its due):

The ghetto tape labels are just for the new owner so they know which is which.  Anywho, this thing served me pretty good for 6 months or so and I hope it does the same for someone else (if anyone wants it).

Cheers!
