I'd heard that it was great composite too, but that definitely hasn't been my experience. Maybe it's my monitor? I'm using a 21" philips LCD. I have an old commodore 1702 around here somewhere, maybe I should give it a whirl on that...
10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBraintwitter.com/NightWolve/PCENews |

QuoteLet me make this as clear as I possibly can: $60 for a region mod is fair, as are the prices of the other services listed (I alluded to the former in my last post, but you apparently missed it). As I've stated twice before, I failed to see the logic in charging $60 for a switchable region mod while simultaneously charging $50 to upgrade a permanent region mod to a switchable region mod. If there are other circumstances (such as condition or whatever), you've passed up two opportunities to explain.I think I'm beginning to understand.
Quote from: guest on 10/13/2009, 12:07 AMI'll agree with you that for the PC Engine enthusiast a Duo-R set to a permanent US region would seem pretty useless. But there are lots of folks out there that are perfectly happy with their US Duo and US Games and just want a system that is more reliable and can maybe read CD-R's.Quote from: SignOfZeta on 10/12/2009, 03:13 AMWait, what?Based on some of his ebay listings, I'd guess that he means $300 for a Duo-R permanently modded for US region use (which is utterly retarded) and $350 for one switchable between both regions ($50 to install a $2 switch?!?).
QuoteIt tries to spin the disc now, but the disc is actually slipping on the spindle; it powers up the CD motor four times, each time the disc making a grinding noise against the spindle, and the discs also develop scratch marks on the clear plastic area just outside of the hole. Gives me a "PLEASE SET DISC" error at this point. My guess is that something is making the motor spin faster than it's supposed to? The behavior doesn't change when I tweak the laser's potentiometer, so I'm leaving that alone for now. By the way, all of this is being done with the casing off, my finger holding the CD door button.Did you pull the magnet out of the lid of the duo and place it on top of the disc when you were running it without the top off? It's required to prevent slippage.
