10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

When looking for information about Compile games for PC Engine, I found several (Japanese) forums & sites (see: http://pp-museum.org/PPM/history/dshistory.html) that mention that the Compile DiscStation series also exist for the PC Engine! That is incredible, because I loved them on MSX. I don't know if you know the concept of a DiscStation, but usualy it's a disc full of little games, text interviews, stories, visuals, game demo's etc. Some MSX editions even had a complete game on a second disc (for example Aleste Gaiden or RuneMaster)

But I haven't seen any real evidence of the existence of these Compile gems. Does anybody have more information on this? Or maybe a copy for sale?

Since a few weeks, I have a very annoying problem with my Duo RX console. Suddenly it stopped loading CD games normally.
When I start the console and press "run" the drive starts spinning very hard, much harder than before. I don't recieve a "load error" or something, it just keeps spinning.

Sometimes after a few minutes the speed goes down to a "normal" level and the game starts eventually. But most of the times it continues with ridiculous fast spinning and nothing happens. Not even a error message.

Is there anybody who has/had the same problem and knows a fix?

BTW: I already tried a new CD lens, but that didn't solve the problem.
