Best so far

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Turbografx-16 coffee mug]

Hm, I dunno, I'd be embarrassed to be seen with this one now, but maybe in my teen years I'd roll with it...

Ya...all of the new ones look pretty rough.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Turbografx-16 coffee mug]

I just googled it and was shocked by the TG16 mug selection available.  Note, I've never bought from here, just saw the link.

Yeah, I'm surprised by that too, had no idea so many were made.

I'm not terribly impressed with the Adol one but that's cool they have some.



Anyway, I'd ask esteban where he purchased his. It never occurred to me to ask and maybe I even wondered if he had it made himself or something.

Oh, congrats on the new job, crazydean, hope it works out!

From what little info I found online, they were from a promo bitd. There are at least three variations that I've seen pictures of.

[NEC Console Resource / Re: Newcomer to the world of NEC, Experienced Japanese game importer.]

I've been drawing again lately and checking out the new shit. These Platinum Preppy pens are fucking crazy. So reliable and cheap, maybe the first practical fountain pen ever. I may ditch the red Precise V5 I've been using for fucking eeeeeeeveerrrrrrrr. In order to work so well they have some kind of weak-ass gel ink though so you can't mistake them for archival grade.



I really fucking hate ballpoint pens, btw. I need a little bit of scratch. When I write with a Bic it looks like I'm drunk high and six years old and I'm only ever max one of those things.

Makes post about drawing. Posts pictures of pens. No artwork. Quality post!

OK Gran Turismo Sport came and monopolized my addiction, see ya Sudden Strike.

Xvideos? Is that like a website or something?

Good luck, comrade.

For those who have not seen this item:

Is there some sort of green problem here? Also, I still don't know what the ROMROM Amp is, as I can't read Japanese

How this clown got to be a celebrity is beyond me...

All it takes it to look/act far from normal to become a celebrity. Remember Honey Boo Boo (sp)?

[Off-Topic / Re: What do you depise AT THIS MOMENT, literally....]

This is my coffee maker:


...and I despise anyone who says they can do better.

What is a "coffee drink" ? Why isn't it just called "coffee with milk". That's sketchy...

So, I keep getting this when I use Tapatalk app:

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine LT-2 Custom Made System]

Same dude recently made this as well I guess:

https://starforcepi.wordpress.com/2017/05/01/the-sega-omega-drive/

Ha. I was just about to mention that PCE SD thing to compare it to the LT2. Pretty specific hobby that guy has. While the stuff he builds looks good, it's just so niche. I guess I would rather spend time playing games than building enclosures for them.

Although, the same could be said for all the time I spend on the forums. I have noticed an inverse correlation between time spent on gaming forums and playing games.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: chiki chiki boys genesis vs pc-engine]

tg-16.com/screenshot_comparisons_action.htm#Chiki_Chiki_Boys

Chiki Chiki Boys.

PC Engine	Genesis

The Genny has parallax and the wavy background effects in the lava pit and underwater stages, but the PCE game trounces it in colors, shading, and details.  The Genny is also missing all the girlies you save, and who doesn't want to save tied up girlies?

It's hard to say any game is worth $100+ (or whatever retard price it's up to now), but it's definitely worth a CDR.

So they're already tied up, eh? That makes it easy.

[Off-Topic / Re: PCEngineFX Picture Thread (Formerly "Mugs")]

This thread has been around for a while but I never felt like I had a decent photo to submit. 

Are you Billy Mitchell?

[Off-Topic / Re: What is your favourite soft drink?]

Started long drive down to South Carolina this afternoon.

Must have all forms of coffee: paper cup, styrofoam cup, aluminum can, glass bottle.

So wacha gonna be doing in SC?

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

Bought an "untested" Model 2 CD unit relatively cheaply a few months ago. It had the base extender piece as well. It wasn't advertised with that. So that was a nice little bonus.

Things came up and I kind of left it be for a bit. Recently though I found a bit of time, and saw that the issue was the common problem with these Model 2's- the fuse. So the unit is back to life now.

Also managed to pick up a 'Megacart', for region swapping.

Man, what a huge footprint the Genny 1 and CD2 leaves. Congrats on getting it going.

Is that a wireless Genny controller? Is it any good?

Where is Big Boy?!

The place that ACTUALLY invented the Big Mac?

This poll... IS FLAWED.

Maybe they did invent it, but the nearest one to me is like 800 miles away. Unsurprisingly, I have never been to Big Boy. I imagine that most others on the forum are in the same boat.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Going for a complete NA TG16 set! who has one?]

I'm going for a complete NA TG16 set.
Who here already has one? got any pictures? I want to see what the full set looks like.

 

That is clearly not a full set. Where is Darkwing Duck?

[Off-Topic / Re: Would You Hit It? (Pt. II)]

Instead of creating another topic, I'm just hijacking this one for fun.

Would you hit them?

Is the one in front literally wearing a bra and girdle in place of shirt?

[General Gaming / Re: NES RGB Cable Question]

Alright, so it's all together and as promised, I have some pictures. I actually did a partial gut, but left the voltage regulator stuff alone. To hold the headphone jack in place, I soldered a very thin washer from a guitar potentiometer onto the plate. The potentiometer's hole was small enough to get the headphone jack through and clamped on. The DIN actually had to be epoxy'd in. The reason I chose to mount everything to the motherboard and not the case is that this is easier to take apart, should I need to in the future.



The hole had to be cut out by a small amount for the DIN to fit, but you can hardly tell. The headphone jack fits perfectly.




If you're wondering about where I mounted the switch, it's on the front, somewhere...


Here!


The switch fits quite well, and I'm very happy with the placement. You can easily get the cartridge in and out, and it remains hidden when you close the door.

[General Gaming / Re: NES RGB Cable Question]

Switch and hookup locations found in the photo below.  I gutted the RF box and use an externally regulated 5V power supply.

Ya, that's awesome. I just don't have the balls to go gutting anything. I'd be afraid of cutting something out that's important.

[General Gaming / Re: SUPER NINTENDO 25 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!]

The day I fell in love with SNES...

 

This is the first time I've heard of this game, so I fired it up on le everdrive. Wow, I thought I was going to vomit. The screen shakes when you move quickly or change directions, and there doesn't seem to be any purpose for being in the level. I still don't know what the goal was. Also, there is a button that makes you explode...which doesn't really do anything.

[High Score Records / Re: New Adventure Island/Takahashi Meijin no Shin Bōken Jima High Scores]

So I took some pictures of the coyotes while playing today and yesterday. The first one is the non-jumping coyote and regular flower.



These are the jumping coyote and its flower.





As you can see, the jumping coyote flower is more orange whereas the regular coyote flower is pink.

On a side note, these weird diagonal lines show up when taking a picture. I'm not concerned with it since I can't see it with my eyes. I've just never noticed it before.

[Off-Topic / Re: Your biggest Childhood toy disappointment]

What's a Chippy?

Chippy = Chip Shop

Chips are called fries in the US.

Here's what typical English chips look like, with battered fish.


Chip shops sell fish and chips and are everywhere here in England for the past maybe 80 years?
Most popular food here.
In the 80s and 90s they often had arcade machines in them.

I knew that chips=fries and crisps=chips. I didn't know you guys had restaurants dedicated to fish and chips. After a quick google image search, I am a bit jealous because we don't have as much access to such foods. I have had fish and chips in the States, usually at places imitating the "British Pub" or "Irish Pub". It's quite good, but I've never seen the mushy peas. That part doesn't look so good. 

Sorry to hijack the thead. I can't remember any disappointing toys. I'm sure there were several, but they don't stand out in my mind like the good toys because you never play with them. Now video games, I can name a few bad ones that I got.

To Zeta, all kids are dumb and naive. That's part of being human, seeing a TV commercial about some stupid shit and getting all excited. Then, once you get it, you realize it's just garbage. That's where the saying "live and learn" comes from. I remember wanting a Talkboy after seeing Home Alone. My parents didn't buy me one, but I did get to play with a friend's once. I remember it being garbage, and I was glad that my parents didn't get it for me.

[Off-Topic / Re: What do you drive…]

1986 Pontiac Fiero. 2.5L 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual. I had to ship a guitar and this was the only way I could get the box to fit.



2006 Kawasaki ZX-14. I ride it to school pretty often since there is motorcycle parking and finding regular car parking can be difficult.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: RGB SCART VS Component]

I was going to go for something like that, but this suited me better.

That's the one I use. It seems to be the best option unless you want to spend $200 on the one built by a guy on Assemblergames.com

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Duo-R RGB issue]

So I went just now and picked up the Duo-R. The colors are all displaying correctly now.


Totally unrelated to the above, but I didn't particularly want to create a new thread for such a minor issue.
This is with regard to the Super CD-ROM².
What do you guys use for that stiff Open/Eject button?
I'm thinking something like bike-chain oil should do the trick. Yes?

I use white lithium grease pretty much universally on the inside of my consoles/controllers. I wouldn't use bike-chain oil. Doesn't that stuff get sticky?

[Off-Topic / Re: Anyone else ride?]

I've been riding for about 13 years now. I worked two jobs, at the time, to be able to afford this one. This was my third time painting so I know how much of a PITA it is to do. It's really easy, just tedious and boring. There's some gold flake in the paint which looks great in the sun, but it's also really difficult to photograph. I don't have any original pictures, but it was black and completely stock when I bought it. These pictures are about two years old, and I have since added nitrous and orange brake/clutch lines.
