[Buy/Sell/Trade / Wanted: Forgotten Worlds Disc]

I was going through my games the other day and noticed my Forgotten Worlds case was missing the disc, was wondering if anyone had a copy they would want to sell? US or Japanese version is fine with me. I also apparently lost my disc of Might and Magic III as well, but I don't think I'll ever be able to replace that...

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FT - PC-FX Games]

I have 3 games available for trade:



Battle Heat
Sotsugyou 2 / Graduation 2 - Neo Generation
Doukyusei 2


All appear to be complete and in good condition. I can take more pics or give further details on request. Just looking to trade for any titles I don't have. let me know what you have and maybe we can work something out.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Turbo Duo RGB video interference issue]

I have a Turbo Duo that's been region and rgb modded, and everything seems to work well except I am getting wavy diagonal lines of interference on the screen. Need some advice on what the cause of the issue may be and any suggestions for how to resolve it. Here's what I have tried:

viletim's Jailbar fix - Cleared up jailbars but did nothing for this.
Replacement AC Adapter - Using an Enercell universal adapter that I have for my IFU-30, but with a proper tip for Turbo Duo. Unfortunately it did not fix the issue either. There was no improvement from what I saw compared to the stock AC Adapter.

Here are pics of the interference I am referring to:



As a comparison here are screenshots of my RGB Modded IFU-30, using same amp (same circuit and parts) and the exact same RGB cable and AC adapter:



Any help is definitely appreciated, I've been looking for a solution to this for a few years now...

[General Gaming / Famicom 15 pin port -> Nes Controller adapter notes]

I told a member of these boards I would post my notes on a Famicom to NES controller cable. If anyone would like to add or make corrections feel free.

I made this cable a few years back when I was using an original Famicom, and didn't have the system 3 feet in front of me while I played. I used a neo geo extension cable (which was just an old M/F 15 pin rubberized extension cable i shaved to fit the neo) and 2 controller ports from an old broken NES. I was able to determine the pinouts using continuity and get down to what color wire corresponded on the nes 7 pin cable.

One of the issues I came across was that i could do 1P from the 15 pin port no problem, but issues would arise when I tried wiring up for P2 as well. In the end I disconnected the hardwired P1 Famicom controller from the main board, stripped a cat5e cable and used the wires to route the pins from their internal connector to the internal points on the 15pin. This could have probably been better done with a switch or IC of some kind but I didn't have the knowledge at the time or attempted to bother because I was fine with just disconnecting the hardwired controller. What I'm getting at is even with an adapter cable, an internal modification will be necessary to get full functionality out of the cable.

[PC-FX Discussion / Any progress made (or even started) on a PC-FX RGB mod?]

Curious of whether or not this can be done in a similar way as the nes rgb board? I know this system isnt nearly as popular but i would love to get rgb from it. I haven't been around in a while so I may have missed out on a recent discovery.

[Off-Topic / Anyone live near Nashville who can do me a favor on 04/21?]

A friend of mine is a big fan/collector of basically anything Jack White, and Third Man Records is releasing a limited edition single of "Sixteen Saltines" on a special liquid filled vinyl. The catch is it will "ONLY be available from Third Man Records physical location in Nashville (623 7th Ave S) on Record Store Day, April 21st, 2012." (site and info http://thirdmanrecords.com/news/view/record-store-day-2012-124)

So what I'm asking is for someone who lives near the area to pick up one for me to give my friend for his birthday. Of course I can cover the cost of everything, including shipping, gas (if you need it) and even pay a little extra for your time. If anyone on these boards can help me out, I would truly appreciate it, and let me know as soon as possible. Thanks! 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Got my Aetherbytes Protocard in the mail today! *SPOILER PICS INSIDE*]

Just as the titles states, got my AbCard in the mail today and couldn't wait to tear the box open and get some pics:






Sorry about the not so great quality pics, I took these in the car with my wife's phone (while she drove and made fun of me).The card itself looks really good considering they were made by hand IIRC. I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I'm pretty excited already! Thanks Arkhan and TheOldMan for putting these together!  

[PC-FX Discussion / HuC62 - Hudson's early 32 Bit hardware from 1992]

Here's the article I have, per request of SuperGrafx16. Article courtesy of VideoGames & Computer Entertainment, October 1992:

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Is this a fair price? - aka "Can someone sell me Order of the Griffon for less?"]

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Order-Griffon-HuCard-TurboGrafx-16-TurboDuo-Systems-/150744261823?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item23190ee4bf#ht_850wt_1185

I have wanted this game for a while, and while I have no problem with Hucard only, this seems high. If not, let me know. Then again if it was a good price it probably would have sold by now 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS/FT: Various Games / Systems / Etc. Updated 08/01/12]

Thanks for checking out my sale thread. Still working on prices. Any reasonable offers and trades will be considered, so if you're interested in anything feel free to send me a pm! Payment by Paypal (gift or +fees preferred) or Money Order, US /Canada only please.  As far as trades, I'm looking for games for Sega Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, Turbografx/PC Engine, Famicom cart/disk, and Repros specifically, but if you have anything for any other system let me know!



FM Towns Marty - Bare system only. This is a spare system I received that needs work. The system powers on and boots up fine. It was reading discs the last time I tested it out back in July but haven't tried it since. Needs a new disk drive belt. Offers?


/IMG_1329.jpg

Famicom Disk System Games - I know one of these gave me a read error, and one of the zeldas might not really be zelda. Have to double check. Offers?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Can anyone improve the rgb output on my duo?]

I just recently got a turbo duo, and had it region and rgb modded. everything works great, but for the rgb I'm getting the noticeable jailbars and some faint interference on the screen. I know there are some rgb amps that have been made that will essentially eliminate any of this for a near perfect picture. If anyone can provide this service or can build the amp please let me know!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / RAFFLE: Wonder Boy III - Monster Lair (J) (CD-ROM²) -WINNER DRAWN!]

I don't have many requirements for the raffle other than you don't own the game and while I'm not big on post counts, I would prefer if you have been a member on these boards for at least 3 months - not too unreasonable I hope. Just reply here if you want in, Drawing will be held on December 22.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Wanted: PC Engine Duo/Turbo Duo laser dust cover]

Looking for a US Turbo Duo Controller only in good working condition. like the ones that came with the duo, with the Turbo Duo logo.
