Batch 1 info + history
Greeting all!
We've all watched as our hobby has been impacted (positively or negatively) by the incredible inflation of game prices. I think many of us can agree that it is quite frustrating when we want to play some game on our original hardware but cannot justify spending $100, $200 or even $500+ for that game. Most of us have families and responsibilities and just cannot spend that kind of cash.
A while back a group of us got together and discussed possibly having discs pressed for various expensive but desirable games. Many of us are aware of PCE Works / Tobias and his offerings. This post is not here to question the ethics, motives, or merits or lack thereof of what Tobias offers. I think many of us can agree that his selling of translations was in poor taste to the community but he has since offered the translations free of charge.
In our search for a viable method to reproduce / press discs we reached out to Tobias as he has proven he can get discs pressed that work in our original hardware. We weren't sure what sort of response to expect from him as our intention was to offer an alternative / cheap solution for people who just want to play the games and aren't as concerned with something looking pretty on the shelf. To our surprise, Tobias was quite accomodating and upon further discussions by our very own hair dryer specialist Bernie we came to an arrangement with Tobias that we believe you the community will appreciate and benefit from.
When Tobias produces his games he must order a set amount of discs. He also produces the packaging etc for those discs but not always in the same quantity as the discs themselves. As a result there are usually extra loose discs. Some of you may remember when I handed out about 400 loose disc misprint Sapphires a while back. This will be a similar situation. We have made arrangements with Tobias to acquire and distribute this extra stock of discs. The goal here is not profit but rather to get the games into the hands of people who want to play them but cannot or prefer not to use CDRs on their original systems.
There has been much controversy as of late over the PCE Works bootlegs, and we do recognize the concerns relating to such, but we feel that a compromise can be made. Tobias is offering us the discs to distribute, and we in turn are offering them to you the community. We don't any money for them, just a donation to cover the cost of shipping / packaging and maybe a few extra to fund the shipping of future discs. These are loose discs, but they are pressed discs and should run perfect in your original hardware.
As a side note, we reached out to as many people as we could who have worked on translations and the like and have come to an understanding with as many as we could get a hold of. I would certainly welcome them to chime in on this operation but I believe we have the support of most of the translation / hacker teams in the PC Engine scene. This is just another opportunity for people to enjoy their hard work.
Ok now that you've read the background on what is going on here lets get to the meat of it. At present time we have spindles of three different game discs to distribute. These are going to be done in waves so as to not overwhelm the person in charge of handling them.
Regarding distribution, we are going to offer an amount of these to these forums first, and then later offer some to a few of the facebook groups also. No minimum post count is required but there is a caveat. If we discover that someone we sent discs to is reselling them, that person will be excluded from all future discs we may offer. Initially we will prioritize long time members, but even newer folks will be on the list and hopefully we can supply everyone in time. We just ask for your patience in this. Limit one of each disc per person! All we ask for is some money to cover the shipping / packaging costs. Any extra proceeds will go to pay for shipping of more discs from the source. We've done the calculations and feel like the following would be appropriate within the United States. Outside of the US would have to be a little more:
Figure on $5 each
Without further ado, he is what we have right now:
Dracula X - English translation
Beyond Shadowgate
Might and Magic 3 - Isles of Terra

Since these are loose discs, you will be responsible for providing your own jewel cases, inserts, etc if desired. User brraap has expressed interest in offering quality inserts. https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=5917 (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=5917)

...but seriously, just check out the first 5 pages, and then do a search for round 2 and read those five as well.
To paraphrase: BMW and Bernie (and others) got the tobias dupes.
Round 1 was Beyond Shadowgate, M&M3, and Translated Drac X. - $10 donation
Round 2 is Dynastic, Bonk 3, Japanese Drac X, Godzilla, DE2 - $25 donation
Round 1 is out of stock. Round 2 is still available. Get on it!
1 guy got caught reselling them, was found out, and has been chastised. He's a dick. We all know.

I don't believe they are quite available yet, but once they are I'm sure this thread will be updated with how or who to get in contact with in regards to this community share.
Yes, we still have some shipping material on the way. The guys that helped make this happen will get their copies first. PMs should come through to me for now, and Josh a little later once I ship his half to him. He agreed to handle part of distributing them. With that said, you may still PM me to get on the wait list. :)

Ahh wow... Sorry for that PM then. $5 for the convenience of not having to burn coasters imo is a good thing.
Amen, this is awesome guys! I can't wait to see what other releases we can get!
Awesome I'll be taking Beyond Shadowgate and MMIII for sure, I am covered on the dracX front...
great stuff...
I would definitely want all three. I hate the idea of putting burned discs in my duo, so this is a perfect solution.
I saw Nightwolve's posts on facebook, if any issue is cleared out I see no harm. That said, PM sent!
Out of curiosity since I don't know what the real discs look like compared to these, is there any indications to be able to distguinsh these between and original and one of these so people don't try to flip these as such? I ask cause I see a lot repro nes and snes carts for the same purpose but you couldnt tell the difference without taking it apart.

The discs and the repros are wildly different in design, starting with the PCEWorks logo.
Quality work from some quality members! :D For $10 I might as well just spring for all 3. Looking forward to this hopefully panning out as planned!
I will post pictures and details about the manuals and inserts later today that I will offer for those that want them.

Excellent quality and super affordable for those looking for more than just the loosey booties! :)
I have a few manuals and back inserts made by Brraap to accompany a few loose discs that I've acquired over the years. Thanks again man!!
Brraap's manuals are great. I have a few myself and can also speak for their quality.
Wow, cool. Do you guys think Tobias is trying to make amends or is this just good PR or both? Either way the community benefits.
I am interested in Might and Magic 3 and Beyond Shadowgate as those are games I would never be able to justify spending multiple hundreds of dollars on.
Thanks guys for making this possible. :D
I would say both. It's a good gesture on his part.
Wow, this is an interesting turn of events. Kudos to you guys for doing this, if I may be of any help let me know.
Do not want.
Count me in for Shadowgate and M&M3 once things get settled. Thanks for doing this, guys!
Planning to ship once a week on my end. Everyone that has PM'd me thus far has been responded to. If I do not reply back to you right away, be patient. I will get to you. :)
PM Sent :)
Its good to see these going out to the community at cost rather than someone who'd gouge them on ebay. Thanks to all involved in making this happen.
A few pictures of the Rondo manual and rear insert. For anyone interested, the manuals, rear inserts and jewel case is 12$ per game. The Castlevania manual is translated to English. The Might and Magic III does not have a full manual, it is 8 pages that tells the "story" and controller functions. A link is provided for the full manual download. (The full manual is 45 pages) Also comes with a full page map. Beyond Shadowgate is a full manual. These are CLEARLY marked as reproductions. The rear inserts are also marked as reproductions and the bar codes have been altered. (Some game stores scan the bar codes and their program gives them all the info about the game and the average sale price, so altering the bar code prevents someone from trying to pull a scam on an unknowing store.)
For shipping, I am from Ontario Canada and shipping can be crazy, standard shipping will be 7-8$ to the US and tracked shipping will be 17-19$
Sorry for the fuzzy pictures, my phone must be messed up.

I believe bartre was working on something for BS at one point when we were going to press the games ourselves. He did have BS done, btu I cannot remember if it was in the style of PCE or not. I just remember it being totally different the original.

You can also get 2 cd insert trays as well. I did that with my copy of Ys 4 so the case holds both the original Japanese disc as well as a cdr of the translation.
It's a Obey miracle! Definitely a surprise that something like this is taking place. Impressive work and a big thanks to each and everyone involved!

I'll have to check in to that. I just stack 'em in their normal case, where it's not 100% secure but the manual holds it down well enough for a game minimally handled and mostly sitting on the shelf.
Wow. This is incredibly generous of both of you to coordinate this so close to the holiday season. Kudos, I was worried I wouldn't have a chance to play these.
Nice work! Kind of wish I didn't splurge on DracX already. Curious, are more games forthcoming, or at least thought about being forthcoming?
There is a group of 7 or so of us that have been working on this project. Hopefully there will be more games in the future, not sure which ones yet though.
There are more games coming, and soon..... ;)

Can't wait.
Wow ... this is a really great thing for you guys to have organized, thanks! :D
Your generous give-away of the Sapphire CDs, particularly to a newbie-like-me, is something that I'm still trying to "pay-back" to the community here.
Agreeing to sell these "spares" to you is an interesting move for Tobias to make.
I suspect that if he continues to work with you guys to make things like these available to community members, then it'll do a lot of good to his perception here, and not really have much/any effect on his actual sales (which seem to appeal to different folks than most here).
He gave us the spares Elmer. We had to pay shipping, which wasn't cheap I may add. They heavy!

PM sent, thanks for going to all the effort of doing this.
So we can obtain these pressed booties and translations with clean conscience?
Your conscience is up to you. Everyone will have to make a choice as to how they feel about these.
Quote from: BlueBMW on 10/30/2015, 01:53 PMYour conscience is up to you. Everyone will have to make a choice as to how they feel about these.
They'll look nice next to my pressed Sapphire boot.
Honestly, this is such a great way to handle the issue. The fact that it's a reproduction is clear and obvious, it's cheap so gamers can afford to play them, and they're pressed, so the Duo can play them without fidgeting with its hardware (which has kept me from burning and playing anything on it, as opposed to the Dreamcast). It's not like the secondary market benefits the original developers anyway, so I can't see how this could weigh on the conscious of anyone except
hoarders collectors.
I can't wait to see what else you guys have up your sleeve. I'm not sure these are quite what I want, so I'll have to do research in them, but in principle I highly support this endeavor.
That's kind of our thought. The bootlegs were going to happen no matter what whether we agree with them or not. That said I personally feel like this is the best compromise. People get games they can play and no profit is being made off of the work of translators / hackers. I am personally very glad Tobias was willing to work with us on this venture.
Cheap(ish) discs, but it's a shame that printed goods are so expensive.
I sent a PM requesting the paypal. Super happy to have pressed versions of these three games. Just because its easier for the system to read/play.

If it were alright with everyone I'd be happy to format the cover of this existing manual created by Braap to have a more similar to the rest of the library template added to them. I would not want to make them match exactly, but would be happy to make it a bit more similar on the shelf. If you want my assistance in any way, please let me know I would be happy to help.

We've also talked about giving any extra moneys we receive to some of the translators of specific games to encourage continuing work in the future. So, if you want to see more translations, the same word of advice applies: Send donations to the translators!

Thanks again guys
I sent Bernie a PM, but just wanted to say thanks again for this. I'm excited at the thought of finally playing Dracula X on my Duo! I decided to hold off on Might and Magic, as I've never been a huge fan. Beyond Shadowgate is AWESOME though. It's also SO stupidly expensive that this is the only way I could ever consider getting it. Extreme kudos to you guys for going to all this trouble. I will definitely pay it forward.
I heard of this on AtariAge and decided to come take a look.
This is a very generous and nice offer!
I never heard of Beyond Shadowgate, but I'm pickign that up, because that's my type of game.
I also will take on one Dracula X. I already have it in a way, but a professionnally burned CD will be better on the console, and will look better in my stack of games.
I'll pass the word, I'm member of a retrogaming association, they'll certainly liek to have one copy of those games ;)

I've chatted with Catpix a lot on the AtariAge chat, and I know my opinion holds very little water around here, but I think it's worth saying he's a very nice guy who's intentions are to play games and contribute positively to communities.

I guess I can also vouch for CatPix as an OBEYer from AA, and while I have no control over this, he should still go to the back of the line. CatPix, if you OBEY, you should have already been a member here. :D
I've been content with my CD-Rs, but if pressed really is better for the laser, I'm interested in what is available. I'll be especially happy if these have the translators/hackers permission.

Here's a suggestion: if you find a reseller trying to buy this, instead of stating "no", use poopsenders.com and send that shit some shit.
As can be expected, I am being bombarded by PM's. Again, we will get to everyone. I am shipping out about half of these to another member, so that will help with getting these shipped out to you gamers.
Also I want to again state, I myself will only ship once a week. Basically, I don't wanna make that trip every day.
I am very pleased that this has been met with open arms here. We were honestly VERY skeptical at times on how it would be greeted.
With that said, have some patience with us. We actually got the discs BEFORE our shipping material arrived.... Go figure that one out....ugh. Expect next week to be the fire-up date for opening orders. I will have BlueBMW make an official edit to the top of his post when that happens.
This is a great way to handle everything. Pm sent Bernie.

I'd be interested in Dracula but especially Beyond Shadowgate. Played that game a lot when I was a teen. Great idea to do this for the community.

I'm personally in no hurry, and am just grateful that you guys are offering this. It could take months and it wouldn't really bother me. I imagine that most everyone feels the same way. I can't imagine anyone with any sense of gratitude would dream of complaining about having to wait a little while for a service that's basically free.
Well, I mean, I CAN imagine it. It would just be really stupid.
Thanks to everyone involved. This is truly neat.
I am glad everyone is happy with it. :) We have worked hard to make this happen. Lots of emails, TONS of messages via Facebook chat with each other, ect.. We are all as excited as everyone here. :)

Definitely no rush, it's awesome for you guys to do this.
That might and magic insert looks amazing!
One obvious way to try to avoid resellers of course is to limit the sale of these to one CD per person. If a buyer is trying to get 2 or more of the same CD, there's your warning indicator. So, if it's about getting these to as many people as possible sans "premium pricing plans" Tobias-style or the eBay rollercoaster, that's one way to help.
Looking forward to getting these but of course I don't mind the wait. Thanks for putting all of this together guys.

I was quite skeptical about this whole thing until I spoke with the Wolves of Night about it. It's also quite the gesture on Tobias' part. Honestly, I never thought this sort of thing would happen as there was always such a stigma with repros here. I've expressed this before but I never thought repros were a bad idea especially if they are marked as such. Now, does this mean that there will be less scrutiny on the forums toward those who buy things from PCE Work/Tobias after such a gesture? Well, that still remains to be seen ;) Also, does anyone think this will drive down the price of some of these games since the market will slowly have abundance of these repros floating around? I imagine that some of these will wind up on eBay or social media sales threads/forums just by the fact that I'm starting to see new faces jump out of the wood work here. Maybe a minimal post count may have not been a bad idea but I digress. All that aside, I wouldn't mind having an English language version of Dracula X myself and will definitely be shooting Bernie a pm. This is a great thing from all those involved, I'd like to volunteer to help in any way possible .
I dont know that it will have much effect on the price of repros. I gave out 400 discs of Sapphire a few years back and still the price of that one is high for a repro. The originals seemed largely unaffected in price.
I seriously doubt what we are doing will affect the original game price, or Tobias's sales. This is aimed at the folks just wanting the game itself. There will always be others that want his full package. Lets face it, the man does beautiful work.

Sure ... it's a great way to create a PCE-themed beverage coaster.
If you actually want to
play the game, then it's not such a good idea.
If you just want to play it without buying it ... Turbo Everdrive.

I've been wanting a copy of Sapphire (repro or otherwise) for a while so I've been trying to keep track of it and hopefully find a reasonable deal. Even after giving out all of the repros the price of the original has actually gone up rather steadily. Ironically, even the Sapphire repro seems to be worth some money now and that's ignoring the unscrupulous people who try to pass off the repro as an original on ebay.

About 75 games work off a CD bootable menu. There are varying degrees of bugs, but they're mostly playable. Only games that are 256KB or less can be converted to be played this way since that matches the CD RAM size. But yes, it's possible and the idea obviously started with the Gate of Thunder 4-in-1 CD where Hudson made Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge and Bomberman playable off a CD.
I cannot wait to get a PM back and play these great games. I have not been able to get a Rondo ISO to work correctly on my DUO since purchasing it..... so i am more than excited for this.

They are playable enough to let you know if it's something you want to buy. I dont think I ever found one that didnt eventually crash, freeze, glitch out, ect.. But yeah, probably something that could have been proven to work really well if it had continued to be worked on. Shit, imagine if a finished product got pressed. :)

You would have to look into how it was hacked. I don't understand all the tech shit. thesteve or NightWolve would be able to explain that. It's probably a simple explanation though. For example, the audio in the TOC has the lead in/lead out, lengths, ect. If you keep that the same, there's not an issue there. Far as the graphic changes and text insertion, I have no clue.

A TOC is just a TOC, not a hash. Translated games should have the same TOC. All tracks should, or at least could, be the same length.

BurntLasagna executed my TOCFixer app (https://www.ysutopia.net/images/TocFixer01.png) (download link (https://www.ysutopia.net/get.php?id=TOCFixer)) on the ISO/WAV/CUE image file set which correctly resized all wave files to match the original Japanese file sizes, so when you burn it back to CD-R, all LBA offsets will exactly match the originals. Thus, the TOC remains unchanged or undamaged (
from say if you ran the waves through MP3 encoding, and back to wave again which is the normal reason original TOCs are changed/damaged).
Well, you might as well call it "damage" since a % of games, like Dracula X, have the LBA offsets hardcoded in the game code of the data track; they don't dynamically fetch it from the TOC, so MP3 decoding to wave will break such games with crashes and lip sync issues if you don't run TOCFixer or use OGG instead which restores the original wave file size when you decode (unlike MP3 which is sloppy).
In the translation project's case, BL took English wave files from the hidden PSP game that Konami localized, and then replaced the Japanese wave files for the PC Engine image file set. I'm sure those English waves weren't exactly the same size as the originals, not to mention synced exactly to match the cinemas they're played for, so there likely was some tinkering on his part (with Audacity) to match them up before TOCFixer was run to resize everything proper.
Got my games in today, they both work great. Thanks again for orchestrating all of this!
Thanks Bernie, got em' today! They all work great on my SGX setup.

We have other things in the planning stages so if this goes well and it continues to be doable with our current manpower every person regardless of class will be able to enjoy these great TurboGrafx CD games. :)

Sweet, although a bit surprising for Dracula X since it's a translation hack.
You would have to look into how it was hacked. I don't understand all the tech shit. thesteve or NightWolve would be able to explain that. It's probably a simple explanation though. For example, the audio in the TOC has the lead in/lead out, lengths, ect. If you keep that the same, there's not an issue there. Far as the graphic changes and text insertion, I have no clue.
BurntLasagna executed my TOCFixer app (https://www.ysutopia.net/images/TocFixer01.png) (download link (https://www.ysutopia.net/get.php?id=TOCFixer)) on the ISO/WAV/CUE image file set which correctly resized all wave files to match the original Japanese file sizes, so when you burn it back to CD-R, all LBA offsets will exactly match the originals. Thus, the TOC remains unchanged or undamaged (from say if you ran the waves through MP3 encoding, and back to wave again which is the normal reason original TOCs are changed/damaged).
Well, you might as well call it "damage" since a % of games, like Dracula X, have the LBA offsets hardcoded in the game code of the data track; they don't dynamically fetch it from the TOC, so MP3 decoding to wave will break such games with crashes and lip sync issues if you don't run TOCFixer or use OGG instead which restores the original wave file size when you decode (unlike MP3 which is sloppy).
In the translation project's case, BL took English wave files from the hidden PSP game that Konami localized, and then replaced the Japanese wave files for the PC Engine image file set. I'm sure those English waves weren't exactly the same size as the originals, not to mention synced exactly to match the cinemas they're played for, so there likely was some tinkering on his part (with Audacity) to match them up before TOCFixer was run to resize everything proper.
Wizardry.

Cool! Thanks for the thorough explanation, NightWolve! I got my discs on thursday evening and finally got a chance to rip them, all with no problems.
It's weird hearing some of the differences in Dracula X after playing the original so much, so the dub over is from the PSP version? The German narrator is different (I think, we checked it out on my friend's really terrible computer since I was at his house and magic engine played it back like half speed, I dunno what is up with that PC of his - but it sounded like a different guy to me) and I played only the beginning to hear Death's voiceover. I am gonna try it out again at home to get a better idea - but just wondering if this was all on the PSP version or was some of it done by fans?
Anyway, thank you again Bernie, BlueBMW, and also Bernie's son (I think!) for bringing them to us!

Yeah, I hate the new German narration, I like the original better. It just doesn't sound right to me... Indeed, it was ported over from Konami's PSP version.
I speak German, and I don't like the old narrator. The new one, also found on the VC release, is a professional voice actor. In my eyes, uhm ears, he does a better job.

I could tell the new narrator sounded more serious, but the old one was more... I dunno.. flamboyant? I just liked his energy in comparison. The new guy almost sounds a little bored. I didn't hear death properly (I think it was pcm/psg audio) so it was really tough to hear correctly at half speed but from what I could tell he was no where near as cool as the Japanese voice actor I've loved all these years. Other little things missing too, like on the title screen the two slashes that form the X... I think that was missing, or did we just not wait long enough? I think the former since they totally redid the title screen text. Anyway, it's still awesome to have an english translated version around. The differences are fascinating since I played so much of the original bitd.
The old narration isn't bad by any means. What I'm talking about are just personal preferences.
I wrote some more detailed thoughts down here: https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?msg=394703

Yeah, the original narrator sounds more scary to me, and more like emphatic or something. There's a more eerie feeling to it. And that's all we have to judge it by since we don't know what a lick of either of them are saying.
I was also opposed to Bonknuts being called in to eliminate the 'X' animation and go by the same localized PSP title. Konami did localize it as Dracula X some years back for the SNES cart, and everybody in the PC Engine scene knows it as Dracula X, so I didn't think that was right, but either decision is defensible I guess, going by the previous localized title or the newly localized PSP title.
They look fantastic thanks Bernie and josh
I vote for the first narrator as well.
The removal of the X really diminished the title screen for me.
Quote from: Mathius on 11/07/2015, 05:39 PMThe removal of the X really diminished the title screen for me.
Yeah, when you think about it, to me, it was like taking an Orwellian eraser and eliminating its history, something that made it a classic from the very start, an homage to slasher horror in how it slashed that X together and then the creepy door opening sound, etc. The only argument in favor of the new title is because people growing up with PSP will know the game by that title, but far more know the older title going by SNES and Turbo Duo/TG-CD, etc. I think the arguments for keeping the original title far outweigh any for its elimination if favor of the new PSP title.
I was thinking of asking Bonknuts some time for an unpatch to restore the title screen but never got around to it. A smarter patcher should've given you a choice.

The new narrator sounds more "professional," but the original was better because part of the speech takes on an almost chanting quality, as if invoking the forces of Hell to awaken Dracula in keeping with the opening cinema.
I guess I'm in the minority here. I liked the hacked title screen.

its really cool that save data from dracula x works for either version the original or the translation, you can go back and forth as you want. i also really like both versions, the translation is cool in some ways. i like the maiden cut scenes in english. and the new german is cool, better german for certain. the opening font isnt as cool and kinda reminds me of bloodlines but w/e.
Got my Drac X thank you so much guys! It plays flawless! Can't wait for the next few discs. =)
Ok people, a little update.
1. I am still waiting on my shipping envelopes to arrive, they should be here any day now. I have not replied to any more PMs, because I have folks in line that have already paid...there's about 10 of you. I want to get those people shipped and taken care of first.
2. And the good news! We just ordered the 2nd batch of games. They should be here in about 1-2 weeks. The games are, Dungeon Explorer II, Bonk III, Godzilla, and Dynastic Hero. As a bonus, Tobias threw in a spindle of Japanese Dracula X games. We didn't plan to order those, but the shipping was the same with or without them, so we decided to take them.
Carry on, nothing to see here.... :)
Yay! Once I get these original 3 from you I'll have to nab a Dynastic and a Bonk 3 and I'll be close to having a copy of all Turbo games that were on my "must own" list.
Woohoo, more stupidly expensive games on the cheap! Anyway, here's a dumb question, if we wanted some of the second set of games, should we PM you now or wait until you get the disks?
Bernie, you rock man. Sent a premature PM to you in anticipation of getting DEII and the rest of the games as well! I own a Japanese Dynastic Hero but would love to have it in english, and I've never played Godzilla but have heard great things about it. Bonk III ain't too shabby either. Thanks for doing this, it's beyond awesome of you!

No rush on being the first PM or worries about being on top of the list. There are plenty of discs for every contributing member of our community if they would like a set!
One thing that is disturbing is the amount of people passing on Might & Magic III! We assume everyone ordering these will be playing them and I really do believe that M&M3 is worthy of a long playthrough! Get yourself a copy dammit!! ;)

I tried MM3 last night... or, rather, tried to try it. Thing must take the entire backup ram! Once I finish startling odyssey I will be geeking out to MM3. :D
It does use the entire memory. That is my only complaint with the PCE, the small amount of memory for saves. Sim Earth is the same way.

Man, I don't think I thanked you yet Josh for all this - and thanks to anyone else involved I may have missed!
M&MIII is really cool, I was saying to my friend that I would have really loved it back when it came out and I was young enough to devote gobs of time to it. The CD music is really weird and great at the same time, my buddy and I were laughing at the goofy vocal accompaniment in the track for the starting area. The samples and ethereal sounding pads are 100% 90's to my ear. It's amusing. It is better that I have it now, though, because I would have faced a severe dilemma having to part with my complete Dracula X saves and other stuff in memory to make room for the M&M III save! When I was a kid, I mean. I don't see why anyone would pass on it, though, it's actually a pretty impressive looking little dungeon crawler. For a couple bucks, you don't have much to lose!

Hmmm I was one of the ones that passed on it and now I am wondering about it. I could never get into the western RPGs of that era. Is there a good online review of the game?
Also what is the best way to backup the duo in order to even play this. Is the Tennokoe Bank the best option for this?
Just finished reading through the whole enchilada. I'm glad it all worked out somehow in the end. Thanks for all your hard work and passion.

I use the Tennokoe Bank with my Duo and it works great for situations such as M&M3. For how cheap they go for, every Duo gamer should have one.
Yarr, the Tennokoe Bank huey is the way to go. If having four sets of saves is inadequate, you can step up to a MB128, but that seems like overkill and is a bit less user friendly.

I was just about to ask if there was a better option than the Tennokoe Bank. I know little about the PCE's memory accessories.

Yeah I'm unfamiliar with the Memory base thing and whether or not it works on Duos or whatnot. My plan was to just buy quite a few Tennokoe Banks like null said.
I keep a slip of paper in there and mark down what's saved in there and what's not. Having at least two systems helps to troubleshoot and figure out exactly how they work. It saved me multiple times when playing Legend of Xanadu, there was no way I was going to restart the game after having already beaten half of it. The picture diagrams definitely help you figure it out easily.
Quote from: guest on 11/09/2015, 05:40 PMMemorybase 128 is super easy... put in batteries... plug into controller port.
insert Emerald Dragon CD and hold UP and RUN at CD bios screen. easy access to 64 banks of save ram (that is 64 Duo's worth of save ram)
playing MM3 now. see you guys in a few months!
So, I can manage all memory, as long as it is utilized with a compatible game?

MM3 is such a great game, as I said in another thread it is going to stay in my CD drive until I beat the game.
Yeah, im in like a giant slimy penis!

yes... i think. if you mean that you can save to your heart's content to the duo's save ram until it fills up the 2kb, then boot to MB128 using a compatible game and copy duo saveram to mb128 and then start a new blank duo saveram (which can be backed up/restored at will by booting to MB128 with a compatible game), then you are exactly right.
it is like a bottomless tennokoe that you have to put in a CD to use rather than a HuCARD. and it gives you almost 12" extra cord length for your controller. :D
One last question about the MB128 does it lose it's memory if the batteries run out? Sounds awesome otherwise especially with the bonus of a cord extension.
The PCE game save memory is fine, some games just don't have optimized saving systems. Bitd, I wound up with multiple pages of game saves on my Turbo-CD. I forget how it works, like if there are page numbers or you just wind up on a new page after scrolling through indiviual file names.
Wow this is totally awesome. Great of you guys to put all this effort in as well!
I've never owned an MB 128 but it's definitely something to keep in mind. I've been using a pair of tennokoe banks over the years.

Renny Blaster isn't worth the plastic it's printed on. If it was a common game it'd be in the bargain bin beside Wonder Momo.

Haha, and it's a review like yours that makes me want to try it even more! I'd throw a couple bucks at it with no regrets, I've purchased worse things many times over already.
Sure try it! I should have also pointed out that Wonder Momo is by far the better game.
Hey guys, regarding backup RAM memory, who was it that was asking for ways to get your save states out and back in around here ??
I found something made by Zeograd back in 2002 that might be of interest to some of you so that you don't need extra backup devices and what not.
It's called the Namami Project. Goes something like this:
Quote=======================
Nanami project V 1.0
=======================
Nanami is a set of tool allowing you to save and restore
files in the Backup Memory of your pc engine without
any extra pc engine hardware.
The save of a file is divided in 4 steps
1st step : Burn the sample "nanami.iso" file as pc engine cd
and run the cd on hardware.
2nd step : Choose the option "save file" and select the file
to save
3rd step : Write down on paper the serie of digits written on
screen (can be several page long)
4th step : Run the tool "pcetohd" and enter the data previously
output by the console
Here you are, you got a file on your Hard Disk with the very same
data as there's in the bram.
Now, it's time to restore this file (or a bunch of files)
1st step : use "hdtopce" with all the previously created files to build
the "filedata.dat" file
2nd step : run "make" to build the "nanami.iso" (which also contains
the file saving code)
OR
2nd step bis : run the following commands
huc -over -scd nanami.c
huc -over -scd nanami_menu.c
huc -over -scd bramrest.c
isolink nanami.iso nanami_menu.ovl bramrest.ovl nanami.ovl
3rd step : burn and run the cd made from "nanami.iso"
4th step : Choose the option "restore file" and select the file
to restore in the real bram.
So, in the archive, there is an ISO file. If you burn it to CD-R and boot it on your Turbo Duo, you'll be able to pick save states in its backup RAM and it'll convert them to a number for you to write down. By taking that number back to your PC, you can rebuild the ISO and compile it in, so when you make another CD-R, you could load it on your system, and restore the save state back into the Duo's backup RAM.
You get the idea.
I wonder if people were aware of this option or not, so FYI. It's old and I forgot all about it, I was randomly looking at my PCE emulator folder where I keep everything and I found it there.
Here is where to download it:

^^That's awesome, Wolvie, but the part I don't like is "Write down on paper the serie of digits written on
screen (can be several page long)"
I've never been able to get the Nanami Bank to work.

DEII is a great game but not worth eBay prices. This is the definitive way to enjoy it.

Fausette Armour
Renny Blaster
Kazi Kiri
Sylphia
Dynastic Hero

Godzilla vs Mechacollectard
Bonk 3
Startling Odyssey 2
Xak III
Saphirre
Drac X
Well, that's the only way I'll get Renny Blaster, & Sylphia is just too rich for my blood in general(I curse the day I sold it all those years ago, only for the price to jump ridiculously). I'm assuming Tobias Sylphia has the original volume for the music? It'd be nice if it was turned up, not to mention it'd still rock to have a pressed version of my hard rock/Vinnie Moore version.

These are just 1:1 copies of the originals with zero tweaks except for the two translated RPGs.

Oh nice, thanks! I'd love to get a Fausette Armour, and I also have some interest in Startling Odyssey 2 and Xak III. Sapphire too, I just still don't own an arcade card so I'd have to rip and emulate to play it until I do. Renny Blaster would be cool to check out despite reports of it's terribleness. I've played Sylphia and Kaze Kiri, they wouldn't be my top picks but I'd undoubtedly pick them up at these prices.

C'mon is not that bad. Is not the best game either, it has its flaws, but once you get the hang of it, it can be quite enjoyable.

Doesn't Godzilla have a couple music tracks restored that were removed from the US release?
Also, your list of Tobias shat is missing Megaman, Space Fantasy Zone, Twin Bee, Cycho Rider, and Force Gear.
Godzilla does have the restored tracks, still missing bonus games.

Everyone involved:
Thanks so much for taking the time, etc to handle this huge undertaking. There is no way I could ever afford most of these games, and having the opportunity to play them on original hardware with out damaging drive and laser is a dream come true. Keep up the great work gents!
I am only interested in Dracula X. Hope there are some nice shooters in the future releases.
PLEASE ENTER ME IN THIS RAFFLE
Donation sent, including OBEY TIP.
Very generous of you two for these unsold stock of games.I just had to donate beside i can't afford to miss out.
Very cool of everyone involved. Sent paypal for the first batch plus some donation. I have never played mm3 or shadowgate so very looking forward to it.
Thanks a lot for doing this as this is probably the only way I'm going to get a pressed Dracula X (in English no less...)! :]
should we send pm's now for the next batch or wait until they're ready to go ? I am excite :^) i'm gonna make a custom case and everything. funfun. thank you for doing this!!

I would hold off until we have everything from the first batch shipped to ease confusion.

haha, it is hard to keep track of the orders eh? i have been there with my MC and KC box, i had to ask everyone to include there forum handle with payment and also i took pictures of every package i sent out so i could keep track of things and look back. Saved me a few times when people a week or 2 later were inquiring about about where things were.
heres a question, should we be looking at paypal for shipping notifications?
Quote from: thesteve on 11/11/2015, 05:06 PMheres a question, should we be looking at paypal for shipping notifications?
Yes, that is why I decided to go with not gifting the payments. So much easier for me, and everyone else. I can just print right from there, and the tracking is automatically added. :) I only actually ship once a week, so some tracking will be stagnant until it actually hits the PO.
Quote from: Bernie on 11/11/2015, 03:29 PMYeah, hold off until we make a post about the next batch. This first run was certainly a lesson for me. lmao
Oh....I already PM'ed you about "Beyond Shadowgate" and "Dungeon Explorer II". So that wasn't wise...?
Shall I wait for DE2 to be ready or just go for BS for now? Don't wanna make things more difficult for anyone here, naturally. :)
But it would suck if BS was gone when DE2 was ready.

Well, I'm not in the US so I figured combined shipping would be better. But maybe not.
Anyway, don't wanna spam poor Bernie with PMs so I'll probably leave it as is. Maybe he'll contact me if he thinks I should do BS separately and wait for DE2. Don't wanna be that guys that writes half a dozen PMs :D
(Thanks for the reply, by the way!)
Thanks Bernie! Tossed some extra cash your way, and I'll be looking forward to the next batch too. Now I just need to get in touch with brraap about some sweet cases for these guys!

Hey man, I got your PMs, and now that I am done wading through them....lol.. that is fine. I will put aside a Shadowgate for you until the next batch is here. Your situation and questions were certainly valid. :) PM me today to remind me, as I have cleaned up my inbox.

As a person who doesn't use PayPal very much the way you pay is kind of weird. When you are at the conformation screen there is a check box that says: Are you buying something? I didn't think too much about it and unchecked that. Without notifying me, it turned the transaction into a gift.

I think that's because you are using the new Paypal site layout. At you summary page near the bottom left side, you should see "the classic site" look link option.
So I was feeling a little creative and decided to make some inserts for the boots Bernie and BlueBMW are distributing.
Brraap I hope you don't feel like I'm stepping on you toes with this since you are also making inserts, more options are good right? Also these were fun to make.
So anyway here are the inserts I have made so far.

Hey guys and gals. I have made my weekly trip to the PO, and dropped off a ton of shipments. So, if you are one of the ones that have your PayPal transaction showing shipped, you can track it now.
Everyone else that has sent monies, I will get yall out the door next. I have a nice big tub that USPS is letting me use, so as I print and package, I throw em in that..Then I smash them up a little... :)
I do have a lot of folks that PM me back asking if I got the payment, or other questions. Try to keep those at a minimum if you would. Rest assured, if your payment went to "Lindell Gaming", then I got it. If you knew what my PM box looked like these past several days, you would understand. :) Just keep an eye on your PayPal, and here. Once I ship again, I will update here for everyone.
I hope everyone is enjoying these, as we did a little work to get all this together. I wont call out the team by name, but if they wanna speak up they can. If it wasn't for each of them, this wouldn't be happening. I'd like to personally thank each and every one of them for their part.
Also, DO NOT forget, braap is currently offering his manual and inserts for these games. I have a set, and they look magnificent! Don't let the cost of shipping deter you. There is always the option to just have the manual/insert mailed, and you provide your own case. That would cut some of the shipping cost.
Braap, would you mind posting samples and some prices of your inserts? Do they include like a front cover to replace where the manual would go? Also, do you have the next 4 games Bernie mentioned available as well? I'm sure some of us would just get all of them in one go.

Ah, that's my bad, this thread has taken off so it's been a while since I visited the first couple pages. Thanks!
this might have already been mentioned, but what i like most about the M&M3 and BS pressed disks is that if you have an original with the case, there is a spot to put your pressed "gamer's" version.
Everything arrived safe and sound. Thanks so much guys!

I tried to forward any errant PMs I received. I may have missed a few.
I sent Bernie a PM. I suppose he'll get back to me with info on where to send a payment? I'm in for all 3 games, and whatever else may be coming down the pipe. My CD collection is sorely lacking...

Quote from: Bernie on 11/13/2015, 04:09 PMI hope everyone is enjoying these, as we did a little work to get all this together. I wont call out the team by name, but if they wanna speak up they can. If it wasn't for each of them, this wouldn't be happening. I'd like to personally thank each and every one of them for their part.
This is a dream come true for me. I was fortunate enough to acquire a nice library of Turbo/PCE games before this new age of overpriced games caused by greedy resellers and equally vicious and/or impatient buyers. That leaves those just joining us in a bad situation who just want a real hardware experience. All I wanted to do is help level the playing field a bit and give gamers the chance to play these games without breaking the bank. Thanks Bernie for bringing me on board and allowing me to help.

Is it because people trying to profit from the translations? Would be a shame not seeing more translations going forward. I can understand being mad if people are profiting from your hard work.
"These repros are why we're going to have fewer translations done going forward"
I'm not sure I follow fully. I assume it is because people are not getting compensation or credit for their hard work to translate a game and somebody making a killer profit off everybody else's work? I assume that is what you are aiming at and I get that. I see it all the time with Mother 3 translations.
I'm not agreeing with anybody taking somebodys work that was given to the public for free, and then cashing in and not even give credit. I get that most people that did those translations are a member of this site and probably been burned on it and not want it to happen again or keep doing something that might be kept being used despite not giving there persmission to do so. But since nobody was making a profit really off these I figure it might be a different circumstance.
I retract any mentioning of translations. I've been reading old threads and I didn't realize how much damage has been caused by some of these translations being profited off of clear wishes from the translators not to be released. I don't want this to off topic so just ignore me.
I think in part we are hoping to mitigate some of the damage done by the sales of translations. By offering them at near zero cost it allows the translation work to get into more hands to be played. It might have been better had the translations never been pressed but since they were we are trying take the best of the situation.

Just as people choose not to look into Tobias/Fudoh/PCEWorks/PCEngine20thAnniversary/animeforever/HudsonSoftofJapan, they also don't bother to do the most basic research into the origin of these translations. If PCEWorks says their team of fans did everything, then that all you need to know.
The person who organized the Drac X translation and Ys IV dub (which Tobias has already admitted to pressing) said for years that he would be done with PCE projects if anyone ever pressed discs of anything he worked on. Even if it was a community pressing sold at a loss or just given out for free.
It's all fine and well to speculate what he may or may not have done next otherwise, but at the very least a series of dubs would have been likely. Other hackers and misc dev scene people have also expressed that they are second guessing various projects because of Tobias' actions.
One particular slap in the face was Tobias' claim that he'd be lucky to afford to offer Nightwolve as much as $1 per set. But that if he accepted, then he'd officially be part of the "team" and it would likely have been advertised more specifically than the current bs description.
The damage is already done and if most of these loose discs make it into the hands of players, then hopefully far fewer will be flipped for profit. But it's definitely having the opposite effect of encouraging fan translations. It's not about what you or I theoretically think how fan translators might feel, it's what they've already expressed.

Another thing is people who make translations or hacks without the IP holders permission normally want to stay low, and not draw too much attention to themselves incase the owner of the IP decides to send a C&D or to try to make an example out of them.
Then again I'm sure nightwolve can name one exception to the list of translators who liked to stay out of the spotlight.
There's also the whole "Seeing your work ripped from your control" that sucks ass. I have some old demos on PC-Engine, and back when Cowering was still starting out, they were marked as PD, Public Domain, when I can assure you I did not release them as public domain. I didn't press too much though since I was using stolen artwork as place holders at the time.

Received the shipment notification! Perfect timing because the Tennkoe Bank I ordered was marked shipped today as well!
As far as the translation problems, I think it's a problem with the state of the industry. Imagine if whoever holds the rights to sell said game contacted the translator, gave them a nice deal, and then released the game. Everyone who owns a Turbo machine would buy the game. I can't believe it doesn't actually happen. I hate that translators are essentially screwed here, but what's the actual option? It's technically illegal to do the patching and play on an emulator too. It is awful that anyone has profited from the *stolen* labor of another.
I'm glad that, as a community, you guys are trying to mitigate some of the damages while still getting games into the hands of real gamers.
Thanks.
Got my email. Great news!
Hey guys, I am STILL having people gift the payment, after I have asked everyone not to....and included it in my PM to everyone. I am not sure if it is something that is happening by accident or what, but please make sure it is NOT gifted. I am using PayPal to print and ship, so it is just easier for everyone. Plus, after I have created your label, you can track it right from there.
I have refunded a few of you today, and included a note as to why. Just resubmit without gifting. I believe it is actually named something different now, "friends and family" I think it is? Anyway, just be sure that you are sending funds, "for goods purchased" and not "friends and family". That may be where the mix up is coming from. :wink:

Not sure if this is doable but maybe make a boot up screen for any future translations that states the translation should be free? I don't know.
Maybe someone from here could work with future translators to make discs for them. Thus keeping the market from wanting tobias copies? Just a thought.

I don't fully understand it either. To boil down the whole situation, we have a company, for instance HudsonSoft, who makes a game and owns the rights to it. They sell their game and make their money. Then we have a person who modifies that game so people can enjoy it in a region it wasn't originally enjoyed in, but gets pissy when someone markets that work. As I see it there are two problems here. First, If the goal is to help people enjoy games they originally couldn't, why not embrace the marketing that is sure to follow? People will get the enjoyment that was intended. And second, taking the position that their work is stolen and misused is ignoring that they have already done that to the IP of, in this example: HudsonSoft, to begin with. It makes them not just a hypocritic but ones of the whiney variety. If they genuinely don't enjoy their work (which is stolen to begin with) to be stolen and sold, then they should take the effort to create the pressed discs and undercut the cost of the one they view as a thief. Forcing them out of the market. To not do that brings us back to my first issue above -live and let live.

Above all the other crap I could mention, the involvement of money greatly increases the probability of original IP holders coming in to shut down our projects and threaten the entire fan translation scene. There's a big difference between us offering unauthorized translation patches for free in the name of sharing and someone making unauthorized repros in the name of profit. I do not want to be associated with the latter kind of operation in any way.

Because translation team members are real people with individual opinions and some have their own reasons why and won't change their mind.
The reason why bootlegs of translations are made against the translation team's wishes and the reason there is a market for them is the same. Buyers and sellers both think the same thing: "I want what
I want, therefore the translators should feel the same way (about
me getting whatever I want)".
Again, this isn't a debate about what the reactions of some could be and/or the potential fallout. It's already happened and is happening. One part that many people can't seem to wrap their head around about some translation team members not being swayed is: Both with PCE translations and translated games in general, no matter how strongly anyone communicates their wishes for physical copies to not be produced or sold, people are doing it anyway and for the worst reasons.
Just the same, we'll soon see a lot of these loose copies being flipped on eBay. Hopefully way less than if they'd trickled out slowly from Tobias to customers. But just wait until these titles are all officially "sold out". Just like the raffles, look at how many low post count members are appearing out of nowhere who care so little that they can't follow such simple rules as who to contact and how to pay. How likely are all of them to follow the "don't sell them" rule, which they likely glossed over in the first place? Especially considering how a strong majority of "retro" fans get their enjoyment from games (bragging about hauls, deals, investments, etc).

Got my shipment email, thanks Bernie!
tldr - It's complicated.
I've been thinking about the issue of reproductions and the community and here is my 2 cents.
Reproductions will happen, I think that fact there is only 1 person/group doing Turbo reproductions (is this correct, I have not seen another) is surprising considering how easy it is to press CDs.
I did a google search for "SNES Reproductions" and i got 6 different sites selling repros in the first 7 links. Which are selling the likes of Zelda ROM hacks, F-Zero 2, Star Fox 2, and English translations of Bahamut Lagoon, Final Fantasy 4, 5, & 6, Ys, DragonBall Z, Tenchi Muyou RPG, and many many others.
So to me it looks like if you translate a SNES game a reproduction WILL be made.
I'm not sure but I think this means the odds of legal reprisal are probably low, especially to the translators. Now I'm not saying it is not a valid concern, it is, I just think the odds are low.
So I guess it comes down to how much will it bother you that someone else might take your work and make money from it? This is a tough question and one each person has to answer for themselves.
Now how does this apply to the Turbo community? I mean you can just burn a CDR, right? (I'm not going to talk about chip games since the everdrive is an option there.) Well as shown by some threads on this site that is still too high a bar for some. I have made my fair share of coasters myself.
So someone who wants to play a game that is talked about being great but it is expensive decides to burn a CDR. They find an iso and get some burning software, burn the disc with the default settings, try it, and it does not work. So they find someplace to ask questions, here, some other forum, facebook, wherever, and they are told, "Well you should use software X and brand Y of CDR. Oh, and you need to set your burn settings to Z." They try again it still does not work.
They ask more questions, maybe read a guide. Eventually they get a good burn, it works but not well. It skips, does not always load or has extra long load times. At this point they have spent 2 weeks burned a dozen CDRs and still have not played the game, and now might have to pay to get the laser adjusted to read CDRs better. This means they will be without their system for a while and can't play any of the other games they have either.
At this point spending some $$$ on a pressed bootleg starts looking mighty good since the system plays pressed discs just fine. So when you say to just burn a disc and don't buy bootlegs, what people are comparing is:
A lot at time end effort to get a good burn and possibly sending their system to get the laser to get re-calibrated.
vs
Dropping some $$$ on a bootleg that will be shipped to them in a couple of days.
Yes there are the shelf collectors and flippers out there but I don't think it is productive to spend to much time or energy worrying about them. If no one did anything that could be flipped then nothing would be done. Then I think the community would slowly shrink and die which would be a much greater tragedy.
Wow, that got to be a lot longer than I expected. If you read the whole thing congratulations you get 1 internet cookie* and think you for reading. :-)
*Not a real cookie.
I wonder how difficult it is to add a screen at boot-up that says something like, "This is a non-profit fan-translation. If you have paid more than the cost of shipping and materials for this product, you have been ripped off. Please support the official release." I can recall Tomato having his own little intro screen on a Super Famicom detective game he translated, so it seems doable. I just don't know how much work it would entail to make it happen and whether or not repro makers are savvy enough to remove them;
making them pointless.
I'd almost be tempted to have a really boring NPC say something about it if the former would be wasted effort.

This has been discussed at great length here and dev and translation team members and the rest of the normies are evenly divided.

nice, let me know when the next batch comes in. i would be interested! if anyone is making cases or can provide a link to where i can purchase cases, let me know.
Not sure his uid on this forum. But Jodi Whetham is making cases and manuals for these games. You can find him commenting in the main Facebook Group "Turbob XPress". Quality looks great, and price is solid. Mind you he is in Canada .. so will be more costly shipping to the US for some of you.
Dungeon Explorer II? Now you've got my attention. Bonk 3 and Dynastic Hero,... now I am drooling over the next batch. :dance:
Back of my mind is hoping for some Rayxanber.
Quote from: elderbroom on 11/17/2015, 07:17 PMNot sure his uid on this forum. But Jodi Whetham is making cases and manuals for these games. You can find him commenting in the main Facebook Group "Turbob XPress". Quality looks great, and price is solid. Mind you he is in Canada .. so will be more costly shipping to the US for some of you.
His name is Brraap on this forum. I just got my cases from him and they are really high quality. He posted earlier in this thread.
Bonk III? Isn't that game on HuCard?

Holy $hit just got mine!. Awesome media quality!. All of my PCE cd-rom systems appreciate it. I don't longer have to play that shady CD-r disc that the units lasers seem to hate and struggle with, many thanks!
@Bernie, please let us know when the new batch of games are in. Looking forward to get Bonk III, Godzilla and Dynasty Hero.

Just received mine yesterday.
Thanks again, especially for not limiting this to the cool kids and letting us noobs/peons also be part of this great offer.
Just got my games and they look great in the cases Brraap made. Thanks again to everyone involved and looking forward to the next batch.
I did go ahead and decide to try out MM3 so I need to make space on the duo for this game.

Ha, I put in all of the devices that have save memory. I just didn't think to remove the booster+ for a CD game insert. I will leave it though it makes it feel more 'authentic'.
Bernie, got my discs today. I can't wait to dig into them.
Got mine in today as well!

Only chiming in to say the discs arrived. My gratitude goes out to all involved in the project.
Got my Dracula X disc today. Looks like I will be Turbo Duoling this weekend.
Hi all. My stuff came in yesterday. I got home late, so I was only able to put the discs in for a quick spin. To my GREAT satisfaction, they all boot quickly and quietly and played like champs. Can't wait to go nuts on them this weekend.
Thanks so Much Bernie, Bluebeamer, Nightwolve (I think you have a hand in this...)and anyone else involved.
I can't wait to see what else is coming!
Happy gaming this weekend and next!
I am running a contest just for forum members with loosie Dracula X booties. Go here to see details on how to win a ready made case with inserts.

Ok peeps. This batch is officially being closed. If you PMd me and did not hear back, it is because we are basically out. Soon as we get the next batch in, BlueBMW will update the thread. Hope everyone enjoys their games, and apologies to those that missed out. Wish I had enough to keep going, but we just dont.
For those that missed out, are there any alternare sites that offer these games?
I think it was outstanding to see a few dedicated fans offer something neat to the community. Kudos from me for that.

I've done a ultra spectral analysis of my discs and they shoe no signs of being "loved" by Bernie, does that make mine more rare ;-p
i dont suppose tobias had any of the original PCE Memories discs laying around as well. i've had a semi for that sylphia pressed disc for a while now
I was actually thinking a similar thing about all the other reproduction stuff that is out there.
Would it be viable to start a thread that could get stickied that has pictures of every known repro that is out there? With descriptions of what is different.
That way there is a resource people can go to so they know what a fake looks like. And, by comparing to the originals people can see or point out exactly the difference if someone makes a near perfect copy of something.
Just thought I would ask, I know it's a bit off topic here but seems appropriate.

As for these latest repros by Tobias under the PCE WORKS brand the discs and inserts were designed in a way to be completely different from the real thing. Not only is the artwork different but "PCE WORKS" is stamped on each disc and insert. Pretty simple.
The only exception is Sapphire and you can find a detailed writeup on how to differentiate it from the ridiculously priced original by visiting CrackTiger's site at superpcenginegrafx.net
Awesome, checking it out Mathius, thank you.
Received the disks on Wednesday, Thanks again Bernie!

Played beyond shadowgate all night with some homies last night! Needless to say I am very happy with them! Thanks guys!
Blown away playing Dracula X on my Duo. Freakin awesome!
I was just looking at the Beyond Shadowgate bootie and laughed at the copyright info on the disc.
It's telling me I don't have enough free memory to save my game, how do I manage a Duo-R's memory?
Press select at the Super System screen. That takes you where you can delete files or format the entire backup.

Try again, yours would be the first time we've ever heard of it not working. If you can't access the menu, try a different controller.
I reset and it worked, I got to the menu in moon runes and was able to delete some saves.
Is there a translation for the PCE menus? I just selected the first runes and then "YES" on save games to delete, but I'd like to know what the rest means so I don't accidentally format it all.
1st is delete

I need more people to test the US Super System Card image running in the TED2 ... just saying! :-k
You can run the rom of any of the system cards on any flashcard to edit your saves. From what I've heard, even the TurboBooster Plus/Tennokoe 2. It's only when you trying running a CD game that you need more than a CD2 system card.

BlueBMW already did this years ago. If we are to believe that Tobias really isn't trying to pass off bootlegs as legit anymore, then all of the leftover loose discs have been distributed. But there is supposed to be something like 500 of them floating around and I know I never got one. Considering how small the Turbo/PCE community is supposed to be, it shouldn't be hard to find someone with a loose copy they don't need.

I agree with you in theory but in action it's been hard to get ahold of a pressed bootleg. I made a thread about it around a year ago in the sales forum and advertised it in my signature and mentioned it in a couple of posts. No bites.
PM'ed to keep this thread on track and not derail it.
Tobias has eluded to the fact that Sapphire is possible again. Nothing in stone, but its on the back burner.

The next batch preview looks great just waiting for ok to send PM. This is really great for you all offering this at all. Also agree Sapphire would be cool later. if possible.
My dreams are smt and snatcher etc. Stuff that is already translated and just needs to have the words stitched into the turbo/pce version. Of course i would love it if sapphire got a second run.
sapphire wouldn't be a bad idea. id be down for that

No quiz between fights means fewer points can be obtained and makes unlocking all characters almost impossible if I recall correctly.

i feel ya bro. i didn't really get to play anything really. i only had time to play a little ai cho aniki for a review but other than that, i was too busy stuffing my face with food and work
Even when I have time and can play video games with the kids, it's always wii u stuff or MAME. Easy stuff. They're not ready for obey yet. So true "crack out on a game until your ass falls asleep" time is always wanting. One day near Christmas I'm locking my myself in the basement and telling them to go sledding or something.
Oh and payment sent--bernie is on top things! :D
PM sent with hopes of getting on the list for round two, round 1 all worked great and this batch has two of the games I've wanted since I was a little kid, Bonk 3 and Dungeon Explorer 2. So excited and hopeful to get on the list, thanks again Bernie.
Payment sent for the games, thanks for hooking me up onto the list, and for doing this for the community :)
Payment sent to Bernie for Round 2 :D THANK YOU guys for doing this. I honestly would never get to play most of these games if it weren't for you!

You guys keep bringing them in and I'll keep buying them for sure. Nice to just have a copy to play without worrying about rarity/price. I plan to play through them all, it will just take some time I think! DE2 is getting bumped to the top though.
Such an amazing community effort. I wonder if it'll Crash the Collectard pricing on the real games?

Not likely, as there will always be folks that want the real thing. I have no issue with that however, as I am the same way for some things. But if I have to choose between a bootie Beyond Shadowgate, or an original now.....I will take the bootie any day.

We're talking about what? 30, 40 copies given? I'm not sure that even 300 copies given for free would be enoguh for the market. First because it's a bit larger than that, and second, as mentionned, people prefer the real stuff.
I see I should be getting the games Thursday so says USPS. Thanks again Bernie!

Word. Save the money and feed the kids.
I think there is absolutely no chance of these freebies lowing the market, even if we had access to 1000 of them. All for the simple reason that we, this community on this forum, don't drive the market. Now if bernie threw them up on ebay for these prices and just gave us a link...that might do something.

If you liked the original Dungeon Explorer you'll love the second. Tons more content, lots more classes and even more hidden stuff.
It is one of my favs on this console.

I'm relatively certain that most people who pay the current prices for games don't even bother playing them. Maybe for five minutes to get enough footage of intro cinematics and gameplay for their youtube video where they brag about their collection but not through to the end to see what the game is actually about.

Well, it depends. Do you mean by "current prices" the contemporary eBay madness?
I, for one, am forced to pay current prices, but certainly not on eBay. Still, I want quite a few PCE games and what else am I supposed to do? I try to buy at reasonable prices and I am quite patient until I find some, but getting games for pocket change....well, not gonna happen anymore.
And here's the kicker: I do play them. :) A lot. I even try to introduce people to the Engine who haven't heard of it before. Actually I'm doing a full introduction run with a friend of mine who loves retro games and shoot'em ups in particular but has never encountered the system before. And while we only play every title I have for a limited amount of time to get through all of them, we ARE of course planning on going back to play most, if not all, of them in great detail.
In between PC Engine Nights 1 and 2 (latter coming up on December 19) we kind of stumbled into almost finishing "Dragon Spirit". Just wanted to give it another quick spin....he wasn't too enamoured with it after the first PCE Night, but he now bumped it up on his personal score list, from 3 of 5 to a 4 of 5.
Wow, this was a lot more text than intended. Long story short, there are people still buying the games (albeit not on eBay) and actually playing them. :)

Just got my shipping number! So excited! I have been creating cases for them all. I made ones that look like the original Turbo CD cases, just black on the back with the cd logo and the color stripe along the top. Wave 2. The Wave 1 giant logo is not my fav.
Just got my tracking number too. Can't wait to play and beat Bonk 3. That is the only one out of the 3 that I have not beaten.
Question: Is it worth playing and beating Super Bonk for SNES? Or how about the one for NES? Maybe I will try to beat them all.

Super Bonk 2 on the Super Famicom is the best of the non-Turbo Bonk games. The rest are meh in my opinion. I can't speak for NES Bonk yet.

Question: Is it worth playing and beating Super Bonk for SNES? Or how about the one for NES? Maybe I will try to beat them all.
Super Bonk has it's moments, but, it really needs a revamped Turbob edition to make it worthwhile. It has a few nice tunes, but most of them just don't sound Bonkish enough. Maybe someday someone will make a nice platformer engine & remake Super Bonk with more vibrant colors(it's kind of dull looking, despite the number of onscreen colors) & CD tunes that mimic the music from Bonks' 1 & 2!
Super Bonk 2 is indeed the best of the non-Turbob, though I don't like that when you die, you have to restart at checkpoints.
The 1st 2 GB Bonk games are decent, but could use some Turbob editions as well. The 3rd GB Bonk game is more of a variety game then an action adventure. I've never totally decided if I like it or not. It might atleast be good by mixing the mini games in it, into the 2nd GB Bonk game, since it really doesn't have any mini games other than the stupid competition thing with Robo Bonk.
The arcade game is nice looking, & I dig the music, but, it's not a typical Bonk game. It was made for places like Golf n' Stuff, where you win tickets to buy a plastic mustache & some rubber bands. If the basic assets of the game could be turned into a regular Bonk, that might be sweet.

Bernie,
Just got my second batch today, many thanks. Now my only problem is to find enough time to play them.
Hmmmm.... maybe I should ask for Time
TM for Christmas that should fit in a stocking, right?
Tracking says my package arrived. I'm looking forward to going home more than usual today.

I didn't get an e-mail from paypal either (I might have turned off a setting somewhere, dunno) but if you just log into your paypal account you can find the shipping link there in your transaction history.

I think it's related to me not giving my home address through the paypal purchase, I didn't knew he was generating shipping labels with paypal or something. The thing is, Paypal doesn't support country changing for some reason, and I happen to be from Brazil; but I am in the US right now and probably will be the next year too. No way I'm waiting years to play my boots! :P

Would anyone happen to have high-res scans of the original rear inlays for Dynastic Hero, Bonk 3, and Godzilla?
I asked because I have the original manuals and wanted to just case these like that. =)
Got my discs in the mail today and just wanted to say thanks again to all involved! Gonna go play some Dynastic Hero right now!

indeed, just got my discs today. :lol:
thanks Bernie!
Just tried out all of my games tonight, everything looks great! I have beaten Dynastic Hero in Japanese before, but I forgot how much of the screen that HUD takes up. Man, it's like half! Still looking forward to the english translation.. Noticed some nice fonts and some hi-res mode on the file selection screen, looks good! Godzilla was another one I never played before and it also looks really nice. I only barely scratched by the first fight so I might have to practice at that one some but it totally went under my radar bitd so it's cool to try it out now.
A big Thank You to Bernie, BlueBMW, and everyone else who is involved in making this happen =D> I got my 'Batch 1' discs today :mrgreen: I can't wait to finally get a chance to play these games!

Zebular - I'm confused why you quoted me there. I'm afraid I don't understand :)
I want to say THANK YOU.
I received my games a little while ago but have not had the chance to really get to them until today. Super nice looking discs and I appreciate what this has done for the community.

Just ordered bonk 3 and Dracula X thanks Bernie I usually don't like reproductions but for the price unlike the ones on FB that are charging $25-50 each I can so $5 each :) I even donated some extra !

There's some being resold on Facebook?
I think he's talking about general reproduction sellers.
Quote from: EmperorIng on 12/05/2015, 10:04 PMI think he's talking about general reproduction sellers.
Sure hope so but I don't know of anyone making disc repros except for Tobias and one other individual. I may be out of the loop though.
I don't know about PCE especially, but I've seen places that offer to print something on a higher-quality disc, if you send them a disc image. Also people selling blank CDs with labels already printed on the disc.
Actually for the latter, I'd love to have a Xak III-printed disc so I can burn the translation and pretend I have the real thing. And then buy a braap-made case to cement the delusion. 8)

The reason you are paying that on FB is because the seller is in Canada and is including printed inserts, manuals, and a CD case. Just shipping that shit costs him quite a bit. These are cheaper, because we bought them in bulk, and I am shipping from the US. :)
Got my second batch in this week, thanks again!

Mine are also in today! Everything works perfectly! So much fun playing through a few minutes each. Suddenly an hour had gone by and it felt like 5 minutes! I especially love the screeches Godzilla makes at any key press. Nice work Hudson.
Anyway, thanks again to Bernie, BlueBMW, and friends. It would have certainly been nearly impossible for me to ascertain all the rare to "holy grail eBay monsters" otherwise.

I second this :) I really can't stress this enough - A HUGE thank you to Bernie, BlueBMW, and everyone else who is making this possible! I'm having a blast playing these games.
Due to the high prices they fetch on eBay, I could never justify purchasing any of these titles. So, this is literally the FIRST time I'm playing all of these games. Last weekend I sat down to test out Rondo of Blood...and found myself glued to my TV until I got 100%. Playing my Duo R just became 20X as awesome thanks to you guys. To be able to sit down and play so many legendary games that I've wanted to for so many years now is simply incredible. You guys are definitely making this the best Christmas ever :) I'm in NEC heaven!
Best community on the web, indeed!
(Got my Batch 2 games yesterday. Thank you!!)
Mine arrived in Blighty.
Cheers Guy's
I received mine today, only had time to pop in DEII so far and it's awesome. Thanks again guys.
Maybe it's jsut me, but is there somewhere on the board that high resolution scans of the artwork for the covers and rear inserts can be posted here? I appreciate that there are copies of the booklets and such being made, but I don't generally need all of that. I just want them to look really nice in my collection in cases. Make changes to the stuff so that it doesn't look perfect to the real deal, I just want them to match my other official games for my own collection purposes. I can't find this stuff to save my life, other than Dracula X of course. I have a REALLY nice Laser Jet printer and would like to make them myself. Anyone at all can help me or point me somewhere where I can find the atuff I need already? I have exhausted my sources...

You are correct. Japanese artwork, and in the rare instance they have a game that was released in both regions artwork, the US art is always just the front cover and in Low Resolution. Would print like Hell. Just saying.
Not to mention that the US art uniformly sucks, and is amateurish at best.
Wow, this thread sure got big, I had to go through 30 pages to catch up since I last visited it. ;)

If you do another pressing of Beyond Shadowgate I would be extremely interested! I've been wanting to do a play through of the game and I'm not sure how much stress a burnt Verbatim of it is doing on my Duo and TG16 cd, doesn't help the lowest burn speed I can do is 4x.
So I am hearing someone got busted for buying these cheap games and flipping them on eBay as genuine.

I couldn't get it working the first time I tried and then the 2nd I stopped it at the memory warning because I remembered you need an empty file cabinet for this game...

I had an issue with Dynastic Hero when I enter the first town and the screen went black to load it froze. After waiting awhile I popped the Duo lid open, then closed it and it loaded. I then played through to the next town with no issues.

Hey T2k, Here is a link to best rear insert scan for Bonk 3 CD I found.

Here is some beyond shadowgate inserts that someone, I think from this forum, recreated. I don't remember who it was.
Front Insert
https://goo.gl/photos/NBJucnkdSzyzkqDf8
Back Insert
https://goo.gl/photos/KQxgynMpYXTaHDZ38
As for the rest of these discs, as far s I can tell, good quality scans of the rear inserts do not exist on the internet. That is why I just made my own inserts based on pictures of the back of the cases found from ebay auctions. So unless someone who has one of these games decides to make a new scan for you, you are probably out of luck.
As for the front booklet images, if you do a google image search you should probably be able to find some good enough scans.

If your system is booting the burns fine without any issues, you should be safe. Its only when you start hearing it clicking and trying to read that you throw that burn in the trash. So yeah, if it boots right up, play the shit out of it.

I appreciate that very much actually. I do have the artwork for Beyond Shadowgate floating around with the book as well as I used to own it until I accidentally cracked the disc...this will work until I can locate it. It's among my BOXES of stuff I packed up and put away as it was talking up space with a bunch of stuff. I have found sources for most of the games. However, Might and Magic III, Godzilla and The Dynastic Hero all Allude me. Anyone at all wanna' help me out here?
The discs showed up in the mail today, thank you so much Bernie, Blue and whoever else involved.
They look pretty awesome, now i do not have to buy an original copy of Dracula :)
Shipment in from Bernie yesterday, and shipment in from Jodi (Brraap) today. Now just need to wait for him to do Godzilla and Japanese Rondo case art.
Merry early Christmas to ME !!!! Thanks Bernie and everyone that made the distribution of these PCE Memories discs to this forum possible. Thanks to NightWolve and anyone involved in this, or other translations work .. it's greatly appreciated. And Thanks to Jodi for the great cases, and that gem of a PC Engine CIB that can be seen in the background.

It's also nice to play a Working Designs game that's not filled with fart jokes.
Got mine a few days ago, thanks again Bernie and for everything you've done for me over the years!!!! I mean that! You look out for your homies, a rare quality these days!
That $170 you raised from folks on my behalf puts a good dent in one of the greatest mistakes in my lifetime that I have to live with, the $550 I donated to that m0therf--ker Jeff "DeuceBag" Nussbaum as both a wedding gift (7-7-2007) and donation/profit sharing... I guess if I add that with galam, bigus, technozombie, with Professor's previous donation drive, it's at least 75% recovered...
/tangent
So yeah, on paper, I basically paid him $550 to, a) almost libel me in a GamesTM mag issue which editors luckily cut so it got left in a HardcoreGaming101 post thanks to Psycho John Schizomaniak, b) figure out how to manually port every last Ys translated result from our fan translation projects to XSEED Games in secret, pocket 100% credit/profit, then sit there year after year after year playing stupid like he suddenly lost all my contact info, c) cheat me for a 2nd time after I got in touch with XSEED's veep at the time, Ken Berry, and almost got him to correct the crediting, but him reporting back to me that DeuceBag was "adamant" my "work" wasn't used so his position was he cheated me fair and square when the whole issue is reduced to a f--king typing game and not work hours much less using my translation software one last time for commercial purposes...
It does remind me though, it's time for me to break my direct silence to him. I started writing up an email to him to formally demand back my $550... He pocketed everything with XSEED, ensured I was cheated from crediting both times, he and his disgusting, bigoted newfound pals got to demonize me as a profiteer all the while privately he thanked me for paying that month's rent... So I took all the heat from the troll monsters of GameFAQs/4chan in how I raised the money with the Felghana patch, he played both sides in terms of PR, then threw me under the bus for not working fast enough for him on Ys Origin and because Thomas Lipschultz plus his programmer gave him a redirect double-cross opportunity, the same exact thing he pulled off when he got hired by XSEED...
But there I am, a horrible judge of character that subsidized the bastard to make a fool of me and nobody can really tell me how to undo this... Of my MANY mistakes, I never should've lobbied/pestered for his return for Ys II Complete and Ys IV, but I tried 3 other translators and couldn't get them to finish/work on it... If only I knew SamIAm from back then, I could've cut all relations with him after Ys I Complete... I would've stopped him from gaining anything from XSEED and he wouldn't get to portray himself as a hero for one project he essentially tricked me into working on... He doesn't deserve any of it, he's a pure bigoted, callous monster that fooled me for years...
/end tangent
Anyway, I would thank Bonknuts for the Dracula X translation project (he has a Paypal donate BTW, so feel free to help him out! He donated $50 to me BITD, so stand up guy!) but it appears I got a regular unpatched Japanese one... That's no fun... I want the one that makes BurntLasagna angry. :)
^^I had an extra Drac X translated but I gave it to a good friend as a Christmas Gift. I know there's more looking for homes so it won't be hard to give you the hookup.
Wolvie, bud, this might never end in justice for you but what my prayers will now include is for you to be able to have peace from this mess. Inner peace. It's just eating you away, brother, and that saddens me. Truly. May God shower His grace on this man. He deserves it. Nick's a good joe.
@NightWolve; all I can say is Wow Man. That's a big string of BS you have had to put up with. I hope you find what you are looking for and that all of it comes full circle for you. Sorry to hear all this happened to you, Brother. Especially since it appears you put a lot of time and effort into your stuff just to get screwed over. Just remember; Karma's a Bitch and sooner or later, she comes a knocking. They'll get theirs. No doubt about it.
Karma, basically waiting and hoping for justice to come around in their direction but it never happens... ;) At best, my boycott and exposing it all likely prevented him from getting to port the Ys VI script he was sitting on with my software from our 2004 project, but by then he ported 4 scripts from our fan projects and got 2 other new translation jobs that had nothing to do with me... If SamIAm was around when I was trying to finish Ys II Complete cause Shimarisu quit at 70%, it could've gone to him or anybody else! But I went back to DeuceBag, then we immediately got started on Felghana because he was the only available translator at this time... :/
Thing is, I kept silent for 2 years after the Felghana deal which was another mistake, I should've unloaded as soon as I first learned what was going on... I was too scared and angry to do anything other than pretend it was at least nice that XSEED chose to commercialize fan translated results... Little did I know it was my nemesis at the company (Thomas Lipschultz, another translator I worked with) that orchestrated the deals. Didn't find that out till 6 months later, then I was like, "OH, THAT'S WHY!!!..." In reality, all I needed was his name, that told me everything as to why they set out to cheat me when it's clear they shouldn't have touched the fan projects and instead translated as usual with pros...
Tom tried to hide behind the idea of embarrassment for the company when it came to me, well, then I learned DeuceBag c0ck-flashed the NeoGeo forums and I made sure as many Ys fans know about how his c0ck-bragging Xak-style led to flashing.... Guess what, Tom's not embarrassed by that and told me he could do the same thing right now and still keep his job at XSEED. I told him go ahead, c0ck-flash the Internet, join him, but he never took me up on that dare of course... ;)
Anyway, appreciate the moral support and forgive the touchy nature of this tangent.
Received,pce works repro's a few days ago thanks again berine ! This pretty much fills up what's left for what i wanted in domestic releases.
Got my bonk and Dracula X today time to have fun thanks Bearnie let me know when you have a new list !

For those that have sent payment within the last couple days, I will start processing those orders Monday afternoon. :)

Thanks to those that offered me one, but looks like I just got fooled by the CD label... Tobias didn't bother to change much between the Japanese and English patched versions... The English patched version still keeps the 'X' on the CD label and all he added is "PCE Works" to it as well as Bernie just pointed out to me... Pffffft. So yeah, Bernie hooked me up after all!
So anyway, yes, thanks be to Bonknuts for his hacking prowess/work on this, even though Tobias pressed it onto a nice CD-ROM without permission/support. ;)

Try putting your tracking number on the French postal service site and see if they have started tracking it yet.
Got my batch of Dynastic Hero, Dungeon Explorer, and Bonk yesterday. Thanks again Bernie! I'll be getting with braap to get some cases too, but I gotta' get some spare cash before that.
tracking say it's arrived in Michigan so it'll probably arrive in my mailbox tomorrow morning or if the postal workers fouls up, Monday
That makes a total of 5 rare games that I don't have to pay an arm and a leg.
Another happy PCEfx gamer post: Thanks to all involved that made this happen. With everything else in my life blowing up and/or needing attention lately, I almost missed these but Bernie came through. I have never added this many CD games to my collection at once. These games are easily some of the top X-mas presents I will get this year. They are all in individual hard CD cases now.
My mind is still blown, hard to believe they are here in my hands on my community resurrected US TurboDuo! Wow!
Looking forward to the next rounds like everyone else. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
just picked up mine yesterday!!! thank uuuuuuu
Got my discs late last week and they look great. Jazzed to finally be able to play Dungeon Explorer II! Thanks so much guys. U da bomb.
Might (and magic?) anyone have an extra copy of Beyond Shadowgate? I was a little late to the party and have always wanted to play that game (but haven't had a lot of luck with CD-Rs)

I've been talking with USPS post office employees lately as I've had a lot of packages coming and going using their services. When I asked them about many of my packages being rather delayed, and several of them having issues with the tracking (no updates, never scanned in, etc), they said it's unfortunately just the holiday rush. They said that they are at 5x usual volume due to the Christmas holiday. Apparently, some employees aren't routinely scanning packages, as this saves them a lot of time and allows them to help partially offset the overload.
So, although I don't recall having issues like this in previous years with USPS, apparently it's the norm this year? All my packages eventually did arrive, even though some of them never had a single tracking update.
Just some food for thought.

any possibility of re releasing any of the games from the pce memories best of japan set?
Renny Blaster should be excluded because labeling it as a "best of Japan" is an insult to Japan.
I have received batch 2! :twisted: Thank You Bernie (Jash/BMW) for all of your help on this!

But the USPS package is still sitting on my desk. STILL SEALED.
I guess that makes me a collectard (http://www.collectard.com).
I just discovered this forum on a post on digitalpress forums.
The post had nothing to do with these reproductions though.

Thank you to everyone who is helping with this project.

Thanks for the quick response Bernie.

I like that game, but I will be honest MANY Pc Engine brawlers do not have very tight controls. Even Bonk I don't feel is very tight for such a regarded game. To me soldier blade has the best controls of any pc engine/tg-16 game.
"Dungeon Explorer II" and "Beyond Shadowgate" have turbobbed all the way (back?) to Germany and arrived today -- thank you so much, this is very very awesome!
Mine arrived on Saturday and I've been enjoying them. Thanks again!

Press Select on the BIOS boot screen to see and delete individual files (first option), to format the entire memory (second option), or exit (third option). It unfortunately doesn't show you how much space each file is using, though; for that you need a game with a built in memory manager or Covell's bram utility.
Thanks NecroPhile!
I guess I have to be careful huh? If I start playing multiple games which use saves and run out of room, will it just overwrite an existing save with no warning/choice?
Off the top off your head, do you know which games have a built in memory manager? Unless it's one of these new repros (or Human Sports Festival, I couldn't resist it for 5 bucks) I'll have to seek it out. Would help if it was a GOOD game! [-o<

I use Valis IV to get an idea how much space I have left on the duo. On the title screen you hit select and it shows you what you have saved. Not sure if it does more than that but that is all I ever used it for.

Nah, it'll toss a warning screen saying there's not enough room to save. It's often at boot too, so you don't play an hour into a rpg and then find out you've wasted your time.
Quote from: GoldenWheels on 12/17/2015, 11:14 AMOff the top off your head, do you know which games have a built in memory manager?
Valis IV like gino mentioned, as well as Order of the Griffon and Cosmic Fantasy 4.2.
Thanks very much guys, it's nice to know I likely won't lose a valued save just because I'm not actively tracking my storage space.
I'll have to look into Valis IV, the series always seemed interesting on Turbo Views and it looks like it should be reasonably priced--especially compared to Order of the Griffin, which I have no real interest in anyway.
I'd say, acquire a Ten No Koe ROMRAM card to manage your saves. They are like memory cards, but more crude. They don't tell you what space you have left, and can't even manage individual files, but you can save the whole Duo Memory in one bank out of 4 and so, free space on your Duo for more games. Just be careful and remember in which Tennokoe bank you saved what.

Would I have to write the entire individual "bank" back to the turbo duo to get any individual save in that bank?
I appreciate the hell out of the help fellas, if you don't mind all Qs I'll keep asking but feel free to point me to a Turbo Duo noob faq if one exists!
Yes, this thing, and you are correct, the Tennokoe card doesn't work like a memory card, you can only save and copy memory banks from the Duo and to the Duo to it.
It's then preferable to fill your memory banks as much as possible, as you won't be able to transfert individual saves files between memory banks.
If you fear save erasing, you'll have backups at least.
Also keep in mind that this thing is for Japanese consoles, so if you have a US Duo, you'll need the card adapter.

Hey everyone, thanks to Nulltard for having some high res scans of the Godzilla manual I was able to create the following.
One PDF Godzilla manual:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzfHjbqYPxpeWjRza1NIbktERkU/view?usp=sharing
And a printable manual insert for Godzilla. I made it to be printed on both sides of the paper to make a nice little pamphlet. Just like the 3 in 1 Disc insert I made.
It took a bit of effort to squeeze everything on the inside but I think I got all of the important game information from the manual except the special moves lists for the monsters.
Go here for the high quality versions of the inserts.

He donated $50 to me BITD, so stand up guy!) but it appears I got a regular unpatched Japanese one... That's no fun... I want the one that makes BurntLasagna angry. :)
Thanks to those that offered me one, but looks like I just got fooled by the CD label... Tobias didn't bother to change much between the Japanese and English patched versions... The English patched version still keeps the 'X' on the CD label and all he added is "PCE Works" to it as well as Bernie just pointed out to me... Pffffft. So yeah, Bernie hooked me up after all!
So anyway, yes, thanks be to Bonknuts for his hacking prowess/work on this, even though Tobias pressed it onto a nice CD-ROM without permission/support. ;)
Since the man is too humble, I will do it for him here. This is his Donation Page, so if you wanna buy him a beer, here ya go:
https://pcedev.wordpress.com/donation-page/
Quote from: BonknutsYou can donate to my site/projects/whatever via paypal. Just use the email address tomaitheous_@_pcedev.net. Of course, remove the underscores (as in "ous@pcedev.net"). Set the type of 'payment' as 'gift'.
So his same email address is tied to his Paypal account.
Thanks for posting this NightWolve I just sent Bonknuts a donation. Pretty awesome job he did on that translation.
I'm glad someone noted my random solicitation on his behalf and threw him a bone! Posts in this thread will easily get lost given the attention its gotten, so not really the best place to help somebody out like that, but yeah, thanks (whoever you are) and good looking out! Like I said, he donated $50 to me back in the day even while he was on hard times himself and did other things he earned my respect for!
NW: I can't believe you remembered that. Hah! $50 was no where near enough though; my sons and I played the hell out of the PC translations you did of Ys. For my youngest son, the translated Ys I/II PC and Oath of Felghana are probably the most memorable games of his childhood.
I am new to these forums. I am a longtime gamer who has been collecting for everything since childhood. Turbo has always had a special place in my heart for its unique offerings and the fact that it was prohibitively expensive for me as a young teen. I am glad to be part of this now, and am glad to have had access to the second batch. If only I had been around for the first. Y'all can count me in for any further rounds, as Turbo stuff is near mythologically rare up here in Maine.

Holy ballsacks, is that a full repro manual? Any chance you could do an OG back for it? Might want.
PS Ever think about doing a full manual jobbes for Terraforming? Was totally gonna buy the real deal from bardoly, but I think he doesn't find me attractive enough to sell me things anymore. Well, either that or he hates me. :(

That's what I intended to do and I didn't even get THAT far.
Mine are in the paper envelopes, but I should put them in a little CD binder.
Someone send me a Bonk sticker.
Mine are still in the paper envelopes. I have made old school turbo cd style inserts for the first batch, but I haven't gotten to the printer to print. I can't find a way to cut them straight enough to satisfy my obey-compulsive disorder.
As I showed in a pic, I put mines into empty jewel cases. I need to order those game inserts and manuals soon.

Well, shit. I think sparky has it, but don't think he has scanned the full manual or would want to because as he says "They're a pain in the ass." Only other person I know that has it is bardoly, be my guest to ask him about that since he doesn't reply to me. lol
Mine's still in the paper sleeves. All the local places only carries slim CD cases which wouldn't quite fit the cover. I ordered a set of 10 blank standard CD cases, they arrived as 10,000 pieces shards. Still waiting, 3 weeks+ on the replacement, I might have to open dispute because the seller hasn't provided new tracking info and may be trying to waste my time to get past the deadline. :(
I did look into local Goodwill today, nearly all of the CD cases were scruffed, scratched, and sometimes cracked and not worth the 50 cents each to use.
QuoteMine's still in the paper sleeves.
How many cases do you need? We were buying them in 50 packs for around $15.
Or try the grocery store (believe it or not).
I'm still using the sleeves too, gotta get a pack of jewel cases one of these days.

Quote from: wilykat on 01/08/2016, 07:31 PMBatch 3: hmmmm... Exile 2 USA version maybe? Space Fantasy Zone would be nice.
TBH, Space Fantasy Zone is a game that needs to be fixed, or more precisely, the music problems(a few tunes cutting off in the middle, & only 1 level tune). It's something I've thought about trying to remedy, though, I've never felt 100% confident that I could get the sounds just right for recomposing the ones that cut off. And I had ideas to some degree of how to have proper songs for each level, but nothing truly panned out on that. I hope someday I, or someone, can come up with a good solution. If I had way more time, I'd spend time on composing new tunes for all the levels.

For real I just finished exile 2 recently and its so unfair. Pure memorization and perseverance.
An acceptable hack of Exile 2 would involve the disc immediately booting and loading a better game in its stead.
Aww, I didn't think Exile 2: WP was that bad. I remember beating it several times when I was around 14-17yrs old.
Honestly, I don't care what games come out as long as it's some of the ones that I can't get unless I spend $200 or more. As I love spending $5 :D

Exile WP for Turbo goes for $80 - $100 on eBay and the PCE version with superior gameplay goes for $10 - $15.
This is why PCEWorks/misc hasn't bootlegged it.

It's not a bad game it is just very unbalanced. First enemy in the game can kill you in a couple of hits. Once you memorize the stages it is not that bad. I do prefer the first Exile to this one. I am with you I am open to anything that we can get.
Usa exile 2 with Japan ver gameplay would be amazing I can't believe someone hasn't patched that together yet.

Yeah, I agree. I never came away with that feeling. I let my character level up more if I had trouble then pressed on. I bought 'em and beat 'em as soon as they arrived as I recall. It happened too quickly in my mind. We now know of course Victor Ireland didn't want you to be able to beat their games within a 3 day rental period, so it wasn't so much love of challenging games on his part. ;)
After few days playing all those games:
I am a noob, a total noob :(
I still have games I never beat bit still love to play.
Usually the RPG's though I sat and played them until I saw the ending. Unless my parents made me go to school or go to bed or eat.....
Thanks Bernie!!! Got the games today. Excellent!!!!

Yeah not impossible but so broken if only wd didn't have telenet change one line of code :P
I beat Exile 2 back in the day. It just feels like an unfinished game. Or rushed. Even broken in many ways. It's a turd in my opinion, and much better can be reproduced.
I'm not entirely sure what has been done yet, or even what is possible. But I agree with the sylphia comment. It's a good game, that sells fro way more that what it's really worth. I would also love an Ys IV translation if it has not been done.
Also...
Faussete Amour
Nexzr (not that summer carnival crap)
Spriggan

I hate these discs to no end. However, I have to say that with the amount that have been given out here I'm surprised how few have been sold like this.
Seller location: San Marcos, Texas, United States
Did you guys put those void stickers on there? If so I like the idea :P $125 is ridiculous, when i think you could get the whole pce works release from tobias for less. Does the retail release sell for that high now? I'm glad I got my copy years ago.
Mine didn't have the void sticker. The seller probably did it. He may not realize a little sticker could upset the balance of the CD and make loud humming noise in the drive.

None of the discs do. Neither the full Tobias release or the free boots. It had to be done by a reseller.
The seller pretty much said that it's his own warranty sticker.
The listing actually got taken down. I wonder if reporting rarely works because of a staffing shortage?

I bet eBay took it down. They seem to be on top of stuff like that these days.

Says removed and seller generally can't completely delete listing, only end it, so eBay acted on this one. That's a mark on the seller's record for rule violation resulting in a take down.

Good, I'm glad it got taken down. I posted it here and the Facebook TG-16/PCE group so everyone was quick to report the seller.
I really appreciate getting these beautiful CD copies to play. I am a dumbass when it comes to doing this sort of stuff myself. It's unfortunate that some people try to take advantage of it for personal gain.
Ah shit. As I was too lazy to read the entire title I thought It was a thread about Turbo Express I totally missed the offer. (50+ pages on TE, what a dumb ass :mrgreen:!)
Too bad, I would have been interested in DH, BSG and MM3. Oh well, my lens is still alive after a burned Xak3, hope it will survive to the others.
I'll keep an eye on the thread, if there's a chance for a presssed SO2.
I thought about something to avoid gouging: why not write the username of the member you send the disk to with indelible ink somewhere on the CD? I speak for myself, but I wouldn't care.
So not to stir the pot, but on the Dracula X discs, Tobias did give some out for free on his website disc only when he did the original release. So when one pops on eBay it might not necessarily be from here. Unless there is a difference between the discs or another way to identify discs from here?

Ok just checking, not saying it isn't shitty to sell those discs as well but don't want to see someone get lynched for something they didn't do haha.

The energy drinks were Tobias' idea, but the sticker got added by this particular reseller as he said so in his listing. He has a "policy" around it - if you mess with the sticker, he won't accept a return... Hahaha! Serious bidness selling repros, after all... ;)

I gotcha. I just meant both seemed equally stupid to me!
Normally I'm not as anti-reseller/collectard as the core PCE crowd is (I'm more of a "you bought it, do whatever the f you want with it" guy) but in this case, I am totally on board. There were guidelines for getting these discs, it's a special thing, and if somebody breaks the spirit of this thing, fuck'em.
A couple people were messaging him from the turbob Facebook group and he replied with that he bought the game from pce works website because he thought the case and manual were cool and wanted them for his own legit copy..
eBay is not going to care for a measly sticker. If the buyer files not working claim, the seller will be required to take it back and refund it even if the sticker was removed.
interested in the ones available, but if Drac X is just the JP version I will pass on that.
I'm really enjoying the discs. Thanks again Bernie. I hope people don't spoil a good thing here. I hope in the future this can continue with other PCEWorks reproductions. I recently reached 100% on Dracula X.

Jeez! What did those PCE Works discs sell for in the first place?
I would be interested if there are any left, or if there are any future releases. Just got a Pc Engine Duo and would like to start building a collection.
Quote from: GoldenWheels on 01/27/2016, 09:18 AMJeez! What did those PCE Works discs sell for in the first place?
I actually went to the site to check. If im not mistaken i think it was like...127 for those three. It was in Euros or GBP(cant remember)...regardless its still a for a huge profit.....*sigh*

"Collectors Edition" bootlegs. :lol:
Same guy flipping two different pceworks sets for no less than double their recent "retail" prices. What a real collector/game fan. :/
So what's the best way to get rid of one of Bernie's discs? I assume a raffle would need to exclude certain folks?

Just set a reasonable post count limitation and raffle it.
I'm a bit new to TurboGrafx/PC engine stuff.
so the eBay links posted are basically how quality bootlegs? I thought eBay didn't allow counterfiet or copies of copyrighted material?
i messaged twice and never got a response. I guess they are out. I wanted wave 2 minus castlevania. :(
I sent Bernie a message also, he might just be busy and hasn't gotten around to checking the PMs.

Please stop.
And my stance on selling or raffling these off. I dont care. I really dont. They are yours to do with what you like. Just use common sense. Raffle em here if you like, or if you wanna sell them on eBay, start em as an auction.
Due to popular demand (T2KFreeker) here are my custom instruction pamphlets for The Dynastic Hero and Might and Magic 3.
If anyone has better scans of the covers for these games I would appreciate it. The ones I got are OK but a little fuzzy. I would like to update them if anyone has better ones.
High quality versions can be found here:

The M&M3 print thingy could benefit of one internal page being dedicated exclusively for taking notes, lots of passwords and quests that won't appear in your "quest" menu or anywhere else for that matter, besides the NPC/object that will give you the info.

All great choices except for maybe Camp California. Is that game any good? I don't know anything about it really.
Air zonk and terraforming would be awesome!
One thing we may not have been clear on, is future titles. Tobias is totally in charge of what games go to press, not us. Now, I have sent him info on titles lots of folks have asked about, and I am sure he takes that into consideration. However, in the end, Turbob Xpress has no final say in which games come our way. I hope that clears that up a little. :)

I'll add my vote for Super Air Zonk. But after that, translations would also be high on my list.

Well, any word if more are in the works Bernie?
Soooo... I mean, I think what Blue and company have done for PCEFX is great. But some of you guys are asking for things that creators have pretty explicitly said that don't want to have made. Did I miss something? Do we just not care about that anymore now that the cat is out of the bag?

I hear you. I think we are more just dreaming of titles we want. Anything else that is released at this point is really just icing on the cake after the awesome first 2 releases.

^ This.
If it does not happen, I don't see anyone complaining, but pipe dreams are cool. Esp. for the super expensive games or translated games.

I think its fun. Kinda awkward. Decent soundtrack, some tracks are downright wow-status. Also, there be leather gimps if you look closely. <3
Don't get me wrong I appreciate what Bernie and Co. did with the first two rounds.
Does everyone really have issues reading CD-Rs? I had issues on my PC Engine DUO and TG16 cd and after changing both lasers they read everything perfectly. Not trying to be an ass just wondering.
We have had a couple devs say they were not against having Tobias press their stuff, but I will let them speak here if they want. Those projects are not anything ready right now anyway.
But yeah, I feel shying away from fan translations would be the best bet, UNLESS said translator has said they gives no shits. I am fine with getting the more expensive releases, and anything else is just a surprise.
On another note....we do have some inside info on getting fan made projects pressed here in NA. I won't say too much about it at this moment, but the idea has taken form. Do not expect anything soon, as everything related to that is still ways off. Thee guys making games, and converting from NES to PCE, they have lives, and this is a time consuming hobby. But, yes...there are a couple things on the back burner right now. I will let them chime in if they so choose. :)

Yep, my Duo can't read CD-Rs. I don't really want to bother with changing the laser, and besides, Bernie's prices are essentially covering costs, there's no point in doing so. Having almost original art on the CD is an added bonus—who doesn't like admiring all parts of a game, gameplay + media + manual + artwork?

I believe his comment was geared more towards fan translated games.
I have a stack of CD-rs that I really need to put to good use so I can finally enjoy NightWolve & co.'s work on Ys IV and Xak III. A doujindance-modded system shouldn't have problems with CD-rs, right?
I would imagine that if potential titles come from Tobias' stock, then Sylphia, Fausette Amour, and Kaze Kiri would be somewhat logical picks if you wanted to avoid fan-translations. I'd definitely love to see the first two, but I'm willing to offer congratulations on what was already printed.
Did he already do Renny Blaster? Surprised he didn't do
Bazaru De Gozaru No Game Degozaru or the TV Show yet, but quite a few don't even really know about those games unless they are heavy into the pc-engine.
Probably just as well he skipped The TV Show; he printed enough meh games as-is. =)
Heh, I like The TV Show.
Bernie banned himself?
That's what it looks like. :cry:

He was out already anyways.
Find him on Facebook. He's active there.
I would recommend leaving Bernie alone for the time being. If we decide to join up with the producer of the bootlegs again we will announce it here. As for now there are no plans to do so. Thanks for everyone's support. :)
Hmm, I hope he's doing alright. I get the feeling maybe people were bugging him about this project, & got tired of it? That's all I can think of.
From someone who has been here about a year, Bernie went out of his way to make me feel welcome. Seemed to always have something good to say in threads. Hopefully he will return. I'd rather have a good community member than more pressed discs! Come back Bern!

Does anyone know why Bernie left? I hope it wasn't because people were bugging him for these discs. If so that would suck. He gave so much to this community.
It seems very serious, to me, to go through the trouble of closing his account. A cause of concern. Though it could be something personal.

Don't get me wrong; these discs are great and a really unique/cool gift to PCEFX, but once I finally burned my first normal blank CDr, and found the game to work perfectly on my Duo-R, a lot of my trepidation about using blank CDs evaporated.
CDRs work but apparently over time wear out your laser quicker than normal pressed CDs.

I've only ever used a CDR on one game and that was to play the Ys IV translation, so I personally haven't had a lot experience with it. But others have said they have had problems with lasers after playing a lot of CDRs, so was only going on that.
If your drive reads it without struggling, you're fine. If it's having issues and constantly getting lost and having to reseek, you're going to kill it if you don't do something different (better discs, better rips, etc.).
It sounds a bit like the scare of "using CDs will ruin your dreamcast laser!", despite that being mostly bulk. I mean, moderation in everything, but I feel like people exaggerate the "dangers."
I'd also imagine it's less of an issue if the laser on your unit has already been replaced (like mine has).

IMO, its bullshit. As Necro says, if your laser is already showing signs I assume CDRs won't help since they aren't part of the CDROM2 spec, especially in 1989. However, you can certainly play them without issue for years. I have. CDRs became a hit like...1998 or so. So that's like 18 years of CDR used on PCEs for me personally.
I usually play real games but I've always played CDRs of things like translated games or stuff I just couldn't get my hands on, copied from friends, etc. Bazaar de Gozaru is a game I'll never afford and Y's IV wasn't even sold in English so yeah, I've played lots of CDRs. In the 90s convention scene every club's room had a 24/7 CDR copying station. Ours had two. :)
If the 12th owner of a Duo says the CDR is what killed the laser...IMO his opinion isn't as valuable as someone who has been into the hobby for a long time, knows about how many CDRs have been played on the thing, has personally monitored the machines year after year, made the repairs, etc.
If someone buys a Duo off eBay that's been in storage for 8 years, puts a CDR in it and it dies that day...from a purely engineering perspective that isn't good data. There is so much unknown about that situation that you can't really blame anything specifically.

I threw together a dedicated Dreamcast rig over the weekend. Stereo speakers, VGA, Ferrari Wheel, you name it. This is a LAUNCH DC and it still works perfectly. The drive still sounds like hell, like its grinding coffee beans, but it always sounded like that and I haven't seen a single load error. I hadn't even turned it on in probably 2+ years but it ran F355 for 18 hours yesterday flawless. The barrier to entry is extremely high but that it still one of my favorite racing games.

Yeah it isn't the laser dying in DCs. It is the lid switch. I have 3 with the lid switch jumpered and they run great.

Hey, Bernie's back! Or has been, since July!!! ;)
Bernie! Nice to see you back.
Please stick around, you're one of my favorite posters!
I smell something *Berning* :)
I suppose I should update the original post of this huh....
Aw, I can't believe I missed Round 1.
I would have jumped on that translated Dracula X for sure.
Dracula X Chronicles on PSP is okay, but it would be nice to have something closer to the original.
I'm sure I could fumble my way through the Japanese one, but English is just so convenient. lol
The Japanese Dracula X is no trouble to play through not knowing Japanese. Some may even prefer it for that more authentic feel.
I didn't want to read through 66 pages so I will just be that guy... will there be another run of these? Definitely want a copy of Dracula X, Hell, I would probably buy one of each since the price is so good.
Thanks

Nope. Almost 100% sure we wont get any more. The ones that they had were left overs and doubtful anyone would secure the same games getting pressed again.

you missed it. tbone bought them all. but the good news is they are available on ebay for $50.01 if interested.
Lol round 2, would be pretty dank to get a Beyond Shadowgate though as it would be a step up from a CDR. My older brother always talks about the original Shadowgate.
Ohh a flipper bought them great. :evil:
I did get a copy of all the pressed discs released here. I gave my word that I wouldn't flip them and not one has been sold. I still have them all. I like them in my collection. Thanks again Bernie.

Yeah repro's are poor taste to sell on ebay, but homebrew is fair game.
When a homebrew comes a long, you should flip it. Whatever you do, don't open it and play it.
I got rid of three of mine, but I sold them for the $5.00 for one/for all rate that Bernie Blue and co. sold them for.
Kinda regretting getting rid of Beyond Shadowgate, but going off of ChuChu I can vouch that a CDR is just as good. 8)
I did the worst thing possible with mine...I put them in nice reproduction cases.

But did you seal them in cellophane and then have them VGA-graded??? :wink:

Zipping them up as we speak.

I thought they were supposed to come that way. lol.
but I guess nobody ever bothered to go do a press run since they just started making it rain with Tobias bootlegs.

The eventual goal is still to do a pressing of a game choice that will be voted on. But for the time being we've been distributing Tobias spools of bootleggery as a way to build up some funds to get the pressing done.
Hopefully, it's not too far off from that goal...

Any update on this? This would be rad. TIA
What the heck, I'm getting a red screen saying "Dangerous site ahead, raptr . com may trick you" when I click on the first page of this thread using Chrome...
I'll have to scan it and edit out what's causing that!

Naw, those guys are done. They sold out of Tobias' bootlegs and never learned how to press their own. You want Jodi's Turbo Reproductions group on FB for this sort of thing.
OK, fixed!

He had this link, "www. raptr . com/badge/whisper2053/fs_lastplayed.png" which Chrome now says is dangerous.

Raptr was shutdown in Sept. 2017, and perhaps the domain expired only for somebody malicious to take it over I guess. It was a social networking site and messenger apparently. Never heard of it, but RIP for those that apparently liked it, etc.
