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
http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/bootlegs_zpspcbegfxh.jpg
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
Please direct your requests to Bernie. He will handle them in order and as quickly as he can. As requests are filled, I will update the next post to reflect such.

Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: Lots of TG16 + TGCD games ALL SOLD
06/29/2014, 07:36 PM
EVERYTHING HAS SOLD. That was pretty fast... kind of scary what the turbo market is these days...
Slimming down the collection to just the stuff I play. Since I'm about to move, this is a good time to eliminate some extra stuff! I had a full US Hucard set minus Magical Chase but honestly I'm just over the whole collecting thingy. I'm more into obscure stuff (Laseractive, X68000 etc) but I'm also wanting to be more of just a gamer and not so much a collector. I separated out the games I wanted to keep and so here are the rest! Also I've got a lot of stuff on PC Engine and for some reason I seem to play it all a lot more...
All are gamer condition with some being better. If you're worried about condition on a specific item, just ask. Prices are best guesses and are negotiable of course. Package deals welcome. I'll admit I'm a bit dismayed at how pricey US stuff has gotten...
Note, some of the games that never had cases have cases with sparky labels. A few labels may have been replaced with Sparky labels due to damage etc.

Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: Laseractive PACs, Jamma Sega Genesis ALL SOLD
03/30/2014, 09:46 AM
Everything is sold!
Hey guys. Looking to unload some extra stuffs here.
Jamma Sega Genesis $??? Offer? I dont know what something like this is worth.
I believe RobIvy built this one. Seems to be set up only for one player. Sound volume is controlled by the volume slider on the console. Also has cable to plug in and power a model 1 Sega CD off of the same Jamma connection. Doesnt work on my supergun but worked great in my cab.

/ba457960-4571-41c4-b5ef-c0858ceb610c_zps8a271e80.jpg
Laseractive PAC-N1 (PC Engine) $300
Fully recapped and in good condition. You know you want it...
Laseractive PAC-S10 (Sega Genesis) $150
Not recapped but I inspected the caps and found very little sign of leakage (YET!) Would actually be an easy one to recap because of the lack of corrosion. Works fine, but do get it recapped someday...

I believe RobIvy built this one. Seems to be set up only for one player. Sound volume is controlled by the volume slider on the console. Also has cable to plug in and power a model 1 Sega CD off of the same Jamma connection. Doesnt work on my supergun but worked great in my cab.

Laseractive PAC-N1 (PC Engine) $300
Fully recapped and in good condition. You know you want it...
Laseractive PAC-S10 (Sega Genesis) $150
Not recapped but I inspected the caps and found very little sign of leakage (YET!) Would actually be an easy one to recap because of the lack of corrosion. Works fine, but do get it recapped someday...

Buy/Sell/Trade / SOLD!!! PC Parts: Intel C2Q Q6700 + Asus Mobo + 6gb Ram
02/24/2014, 10:46 PM
SOLD!
Not sure if anyone would be interested on here... I'm building a new PC so I'll be needing to unload the old stuff. Its going on five years old now I guess but it runs like a champ.
Asus P5Q-E mainboard https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5QE/
Intel Core2Quad Q6700 2.66ghz
4gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800mhz RAM (2x2gb sticks)
2gb some other brand DDR2 RAM (2x1gb sticks)
OCZ Air Cooler + AS5
These core2quads were fantastic overclockers. This one has run 3.3ghz no problem. The mainboard actually has an IDE header on it if you still need to run legacy stuff. I could run this system a while longer but the geek in me demands I build a new PC every 5 years or so.
No idea what to ask for it (I mean it is 4-5 years old after all...)
Here's some really bad dusty pictures:

Buy/Sell/Trade / All sold! Thanks!
07/24/2013, 09:42 PM
As part of my goal to collect less and play more, I've decided to unload these titles. I have pc engine versions of Cotton and Godzilla, so there's no reason for me to have both versions. Exile 2 is too hard for me to spend the time to slog through. I've got too many other RPGs that I can play. So have at em!
Cotton (complete, excellent shape) SOLD
Godzilla (complete, excellent shape) SOLD
Exile 2: Wicked Phenomenon (CD + rear insert + crappy copy of manual) SOLD
I've no idea what to ask for on any of these. I cant find much recent precedent for fair forum pricing. Make a fair offer if you're interested. I'll be trying to ascertain what fair forum prices are for these.

Buy/Sell/Trade / FS - A Neo Geo AES setup... everything else is sold. Plz move to console s/t
07/20/2013, 09:47 PM
Alright here's the deal. No impending family crisis or anything like that here... but I've made a decision... As some of you know, I am originally from Colorado but I now live in Tennessee. About every four years I take a vacation back out west. Every time I visit Colorado I am reminded of how awesome it is (sorry TN) Well I went this last June and had to ask myself... "WHY AM I NOT LIVING HERE!?" So my goals have changed.
Since I'll end up having to move everything and moving isn't free I've decided that my moving back to CO is more important than some pieces of the collection. Besides, I've basically hit the end of what I want to "collect" and am a little tired of the chase (and the expense!). I spend more time talking about and looking for games than I do actually playing them! I miss playing them! So I'm wanting to convert the "collection" into something that's primarily just the stuff I want to play. I'll probably hold onto most of it, but some of the duplicate or redundant hardware needs to go. Why do i need 8 different systems to play the same game??!
So anyways, here's some stuff to sell!
Neo Geo AES console. Awesome system, but the truth is, when I go to play Neo Geo I pull out the MVS or CD first. AES games are just too pricey and I've already got all I want to play on the other two systems.
AES Console (Component/Svid modded, Unibios 3.0, light up reset button)
AES Joystick
Generic AC Adapter
Riding Hero (US, case is rougher)
Magician Lord (US, label seems to have been replaced maybe? Seems off for some reason)
Asking $450 shipped, but you guys tell me what's fair.

SOLD ITEMS:
Arcade Card Pro + Kabuki Itoruyudan $50 shipped
Super System Card 3.0 (PCE) $15 shipped
New Zealand Story (loose) $8 shipped
PC Engine Core Grafx 2 + Super CDROM2 system
Includes original PSU + AV cable and the little adapter power cable and original controller. Super CDROM2 has NOT been recapped or serviced in any way, but it works fine. Lid switch is a little wonky, but I rigged it with a little piece of paper lol.
Asking $175 shipped
PC Engine Duo R console
Includes original pad, original box (serial number matching) with styrofoam, original power supply and a/v cable. No instructions though. System is tapped for RGB and has a DIN8 jack instead of the normal DIN5, but it is not amplified so you'll have to get an amplified SCART lead to work on most RGB displays. Or get someone to add an amp to the lines inside. Works great!
Asking $200 shipped
Sharp X1 Twin system
Works fine as a PC Engine. I havent fully tested the X1 side since I have no X1 floppy games, though it does load up to the bios screen. Basically a collectors piece, nothing more
Asking $250 shipped for it SOLD
And as a little reminder... mostly for me... A nice pic from Colorado!

Buy/Sell/Trade / Cheap x68000, who wants it
05/19/2013, 04:50 PM
Who wants a cheap x68000?
Original model with 2mb ram (1mb onboard, 1mb internal expansion)
No cables, no keyboard, no video adapter. I'll throw in copies of the disks for Dracula (seen running in the pics)
All I have done to this one is replace the SRAM battery, everything else is still original (including the power supply) It runs fine, but I suspect at some point you'll want to do something with the power supply. Though these power supplies don't seem to fail as much as the "tetris block" power supplies in the ace/expert/xvi/030 models. Bottom line, I've got too many x68000s to fix up and I'd rather spend my time on the newer units. I'll be happy to try and answer any repair questions down the road, but I don't have time to offer repair services later. There is a lot of documentation etc available at nfg games / gamesx.com should you need help down the road.
Asking $150 + shipping. Its cheap because its as is and its 26 years old.
If you want an original keyboard with it add $60.

General Gaming / Reminiscence... Playing games in school on your TI calculator...
04/29/2013, 12:26 AM
The year... 1998 or so... location... Littleton, Colorado:
Here I was, a nerdy kid just starting high school. I had my fancy TI-85 calculator. We didn't have internet at home so what we did was use a 56k modem to dial up network to my dad's office. This netted me an actual connection speed about about 10k or so. It was dreadfully slow but it was enough to access sites such as ticalc.org to download games for my calculator. After spending some $80 or so on a TI Graph Link cable, my calculator gaming career began.
I took my fancy TI-85 and downloaded a "system backup" image to it which contained Usgard, an assembly "shell" that would allow me to run assembly programs. After that I could download as many games as that little z80 based glory device could hold (which wasnt many). So while the math teacher was rattling on about pythagorean theorums and area formulas for various polygons, I was striving to beat my high school in Ztetris or saving the galaxy in Zmercury. Yeah sure I could have played game boy color or game gear for some portable fun, but I couldnt do that IN CLASS...
As time went on, I eventually picked up a TI-82 at a pawn shop and later a TI86 and TI89. At one point I had four graphing calculators in my backpack. Each had different games on them (well the TI82 had just one huge RPG on it that took all its memory) Even at lunch I'd play games. You have to remember, we werent exactly allowed to bring portable games to school and this was before cell phones had anything more than maybe Snake. (crazy I know!)
Here's a few screen shots of some of my favorites:
BomberBloke for the TI86.. excellent Bomberman clone:
Super Mario 86 for the TI86.. very good mario game that featured GRAYSCALE. I cant remember for sure, but it may have also been this game that had SOUND. You had to get a 3.5 to 2.5mm headphones adapter and connect headphones to the link port. Sound was very basic, but it was there!
Sqrxz for multiple.. a good mario clone
Ztetris for multiple.. a perfect Tetris game. This one was available on pretty much all the TI calculators and supported two player via a calculator link cable!
Boulderdash for the TI-89.. I loved boulderdash on my Atari 800, so playing it on the go was great!
And now looking up some stuff on ticalc.org (which I might add looks the same as it did when I browsed there as a kid!) some people have made some pretty awesome stuff in the last 10 years!
Even better mario games..
Zelda!!
Metroid!?
FZERO!!
And I also just learned that someone made a full out game boy emulator for the TI-89/92/92+ series.
GAMING DEVICE:
ANYWAYS, any of you goons play any of this stuff while you were in school?

Yeah sure I could have played game boy color or game gear for some portable fun, but I couldnt do that IN CLASS...
As time went on, I eventually picked up a TI-82 at a pawn shop and later a TI86 and TI89. At one point I had four graphing calculators in my backpack. Each had different games on them (well the TI82 had just one huge RPG on it that took all its memory) Even at lunch I'd play games. You have to remember, we werent exactly allowed to bring portable games to school and this was before cell phones had anything more than maybe Snake. (crazy I know!)
Here's a few screen shots of some of my favorites:
BomberBloke for the TI86.. excellent Bomberman clone:
Super Mario 86 for the TI86.. very good mario game that featured GRAYSCALE. I cant remember for sure, but it may have also been this game that had SOUND. You had to get a 3.5 to 2.5mm headphones adapter and connect headphones to the link port. Sound was very basic, but it was there!
Sqrxz for multiple.. a good mario clone
Ztetris for multiple.. a perfect Tetris game. This one was available on pretty much all the TI calculators and supported two player via a calculator link cable!
Boulderdash for the TI-89.. I loved boulderdash on my Atari 800, so playing it on the go was great!
And now looking up some stuff on ticalc.org (which I might add looks the same as it did when I browsed there as a kid!) some people have made some pretty awesome stuff in the last 10 years!
Even better mario games..
Zelda!!
Metroid!?
FZERO!!
And I also just learned that someone made a full out game boy emulator for the TI-89/92/92+ series.
GAMING DEVICE:
ANYWAYS, any of you goons play any of this stuff while you were in school?

Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: Turbografx16 + CDROM + Case + stuffs SOLD!
12/24/2012, 06:38 PMHere's what all is included:
Turbo CD Hardshell Case -- One hinge is missing the metal bar, but both lock clips are intact)
Turbografx16 -- Decent shape, dusty lol
Turbo CD base + CDROM -- Works great
Radio shack power supply
Two Turbo Pads
One Turbo Tap
CDROM System 2.0 card
Monster Lair CD game -- Sealed, canadian version... please open this when you get it, its not that valuable lol. one corner crunched.
CDROM has the original gear / laser etc, but works just fine. If and when it fails, there are several of us here that can fix it. I figure dont rip it apart til it actually quits. As it is, it starts up every time no problem. No warm up, no grinding, nothing.
Asking $250 shipped. I'd like to do it cheaper, but there are too many people who just buy to flip so I have to price it just high enough to discourage that.

General Gaming / Argue like its the 90s! PC Gaming vs Console Gaming
08/12/2012, 02:10 PM
I grew up a PC gamer. At around age 6 I started playing video games. I first played games on an Atari 800/810 and a 386 DOS PC. I did not get a regular Nintendo until around 1992 and a Super Nintendo and Genesis until around 1994. So basically I grew up playing PC games, and have always like PC gaming a bit better than console gaming.
Some reasons why I like PC gaming better than console gaming:
1. Graphics: PC games always seemed to have sharper, more detailed graphics than most of their contemporary consoles
2. Sound: Give me a Sound Blaster 16 or give me death!
3. Controls: I personally thing the Mouse Keyboard input is the best out there! FPS with a controller?
4. Strategy games: PCs seem to be king of strategy games like Civilization and Heroes of Might and Magic. Console versions of such games just dont stack up
So what do you guys think?
Edit:
I should point that I do love console games too, so dont take this post the wrong way

Buy/Sell/Trade / BlueBMW's Collection Reduction Sale - CLOSED FOR NOW
07/28/2012, 08:53 PM
Sale closed for now, will be cleaning up and relisting stuff soon!
As some of you veteran collectors know, at some point you find that you've got entirely WAY TOO MUCH STUFF. And as a bad side effect, you have a lot of stuff you like having, but know you'll never play. That's what this sale is about. I'm eliminating the stuff I just know I'll never get around to playing. It sucks, but there are just entirely too many good games out there, and as someone who likes to replay some of the same games over and over again, my problem is twice as bad.
I'll be adding stuff to this as I sort it out. There will be stuff from most every system except the turbo / PCE since I basically already purged what I didnt want from that collection.
Prices are guesses, if they're too high (or too low) let me know please. Prices dont include shipping, but if you buy enough stuff I'll probably just ship it free. Figure single games will be a few bucks for first class, up to 5 games or so maybe $5.
If you are super concerned about condition on a cheap item, shoot me a PM about it. I try and mark them if they're ex rentals or something or just horribly damaged. I havent tested most of these in a long long time, if you'd like me to test one before sending I will, or if you get one and its dead for some reason, I'll take care of you. You guys know me lol.
If there's stuff left over in a few weeks, I'll have to freebie raffle it!

Hey guys. I've got a bunch of this stuff, but I honestly just NEVER use it 
Its a cool system, but I just dont play it. Maybe its because I'm not a big fighter fan, and maybe its because if I'm going to play Metal slug or Puzzle Bobble I'll do it on an MVS cab, not a portable hehe. I know some of you love these things (and their super cool clicky thumsticks!) So here's all my Neo Geo Pocket Color stuff!
Based on the inquiries I've received, I'll break this stuff up if desired.

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / United Amusements PCE/TG16 JAMMA Unit - Info and pictures
12/07/2011, 01:49 AM
The threads concerning this unit are sparse and scattered, so I decided to start up a single thread detailing everything I know about this unit. Having just acquired it, I am still learning its ins and outs.
Apparently in the late 80s, the company United Amusements produced these "Turbo Grafx 16" arcade units. They were designed to be retrofitted into an existing cabinet and allowed an arcade operator to run Turbo Grafx 16 games in an arcade coin op setup. I'm not sure how many of these units were built, nor do I know how many still exist today. I speculate that at least 100 maybe even a few thousand of these were produced, though I have no information to back this up. They dont look to be prototype quality, but on the flip side we don't see too many of them out there, so they must be pretty uncommon. The serial numbers on the units and Warranty cards dont seem to give much indication on production numbers either.
Ok now about the unit...
/PCEJamma8.jpg
The unit is mounted on plate that can be mounted in an arcade cabinet like any other PCB. Its not a particularly large unit. It consists of three main parts, the PC engine, the interface board and the harness.
/pcejamma2.jpg
Its not truly a plug and play JAMMA unit. Though it uses a JAMMA harness that has been customized for the unit. In other words, you cant simply plug the unit into a jamma harness of any arcade cabinet and have it work. The other end of the harness has loose wire ends for coin input, speaker + and -, ground, +12v, +5v and -5v. It also has two large "AMP" connectors for the player 1 and 2 control panel connections. This unit has wires for two players, though only player one is functional. Perhaps they were considering making a two player version later on. The instruction manual for the unit told of how to install this unit into several different popular cabinets of the time.
/pcejamma7.jpg
I wired the ends of this harness to a JAMMA fingerboard to make it plug and play JAMMA capable. While not the original intended method of installation, this allows the unit to be installed and uninstalled like any other arcade PCB. Notice I only wired the 1st player control panel wires in.
/pcejamma1.jpg
The unit uses a standard white PC Engine mainboard. It has been removed from a shell and mounted with screws and posts onto this unit. You can tell its an original white PC Engine because of the RF out. Interestingly though, the unit was advertised as a Turbo Grafx 16 unit. Apparently the company that distributed this also distributed games for it. From the pictures I've seen, they look like custom PBCs with ROM chips installed. I can assume the ROM chips held the game data and the PCBs served to convert US games to Japanese. I havent tried US games through a converter board yet, so I dont know if the region lock pin is desiabled or not.
The PC engine can be removed and used externally with a power cord, controller and RF unit or IFU. Inside the unit, three connections are made. The controller input, the power input, and the expansion port.
/pcejamma4.jpg
/pcejamma5.jpg
The controller input is a standard mini DIN8 cord that goes to the interface board (more on that later). It plugs in like a controller would. The power port has a custom plug that is wired to the JAMMA edge at one of the 12V pins and one of the GND pins. The other 12V pin has a wire running from it for connection to the cabinet power supply. Lastly, there is a custom made connector that plugs into the rear expansion port of the PC Engine. The connector looks to be the same connector as is in an IFU base, Super CDROM, or other accessory that plugs into the expansion port.
From what I can tell, there are the following connections made:
A1: Sound Right
21A: Ground
22B: Reset
22C: Sync
23A: Red
23B: Green
23C: Blue
The Sound Right connection goes to the JAMMA edge of the interface board at the pin labelled "TEST"
The Reset pin is connected to the JAMMA edge at pin "KEY"
The 21A ground and the three video signals are connected to the JAMMA edge pins "V GND" "V-BLU" "V-GRN" and "V-RED"
So basically, the Interface unit inputs the Right channel audio, and the video data in via the JAMMA edge of the interface mainboard. The audio goes through an amplifier circuit complete with a volume pot and then goes out the JAMMA edge on the +/- speaker connection. There is some additional sound circuitry that adds sound to the sound output. Noteably, when you turn the unit on, there is a loud beep sound through the cab speakers, and a chime. I understand these to be self test sounds. When a persons credit time reaches 30 seconds remaining, another chime will sound through the cab speakers to tell the player to insert more coins.
If no more coins are inserted, the system resets and locks out the RUN button. I'll assume this is why there is a wire connected to the RESET pin on the PC Engine rear interface.
/pcejamma3.jpg
The video enters the unit and is amplified with what looks like a transistor amp setup. There are trim pots for each color line also. It is output via a connector that plugs into the interface board. This connector has the standard arcade monitor input plug on the other end of it. In the picture above, the video out connection is on the right and the controller input connection is on the left. Notice there is no red wire on the controller input...
Speaking of the controller input, I traced back much of the circuit for the control panel connection. Basically the control panel buttons and joysticks connect to the JAMMA edge of the interface unit. All the buttons / joystick connections except the start button connect to an NTE74157 chip which is the same chip that is use in TG/PCE controllers to convert 8 inputs into 4 wire output. The start button takes a different path... It goes to a switch chip of sorts. From what I can tell, it is connected or disconnected based on the coin op status of the unit. The unit uses a timer for gameplay. When you dont have play time, the start button is disconnected and is thus locked out. The start button is the RUN button on the TG16/PCE.
Here's a general diagram I drew up of how it connects. I've cut out the start button's control circuit and connected it directly to the final pin on the NTE74157 chip it ends up at.
/JammaTG16Pad.jpg
It looks like this same setup could be used to connect an arcade style controller to a TG16 / PCE
Here are some scans I made of the interface board:
/TGJamm1.jpg
/TGJamm2.jpg
All in all its a neat setup. The coin operation stuff is particularly unique! As far as a unit to use for regular play.... it may not be the best for a few reasons...
One player only... What is the fun of playing on a cabinet if you cant squeeze a second person in there for some two player action!
Mono sound... In keeping to JAMMA standards, the unit is only setup for mono sound
Turbo? There does not appear to be any circuitry to support turbo switches on the buttons
Rarity... These seem to be pretty uncommon units, and they are quite old. While it seems a robust setup, regular use may shorten its usable life.
Here are a few videos I made of the unit installed in a cab:Seeing that the connection to the PC Engine is the standard interface... I tried to connect a Supergrafx to the unit. The onboard power cord didnt fit, so I had to power it separately... but it worked fantastic!

10/26/2011, 10:30 PM/DuoRaff2.jpg
Congratulations are in order for none other than Lilgrafx!!!!! You'll be playin Turbo Duo by Christmas!!! ITS OVER!
First I took all the names and randomized them. Then I took the top 8 and did a second drawing. Think of the first drawing as a semi final... more suspense! I'll post the first list now, so you all can know who the top 8 are... then In about an hour or so I'll post the second drawing. The name at the top of the list of the second drawing is the winner!
So here's the semi finals list:
/DuoRaff1.jpg
COME BACK IN ONE HOUR FOR THE FINAL DRAWING FOR THE BIG WINNER!!
Ok folks, I've talked about it, I've hinted at it, I've been wanting to do it, so here it is....
Some lucky person will get a FREE US Turbo Duo system!
The system has had a full capacitor change and laser replacement. It can be region modded if the winner so chooses.
RULES:
Rule #1: The winner of said item will be asked to not sell this item on ebay. While I can't enforce this, we'll just have to trust you. If you decide it must go, please offer it up on the forum for a reasonable forum price.
Rule #2: If you own a working Super CD capable system, I'd ask you to refrain from entry unless you just really really really want a US duo for nostalgic reasons. My goal is that this would go to someone without a good working Super CD capable system.
Optional Rule #3: If you own a broken CD system of some sort and wish to enter, I'd ask that if you win the raffle, you would consider donating your old broken system to me so I can fix it and re-raffle it off to someone else. Not required, but encouraged.
I will close the raffle to new entries Friday December 16th at 11:59PM A winner will be drawn the next day most likely. I will try and make it a youtube video instead of just a pic. The hope is that the winner will be able to receive the Duo right before Christmas. Yes it will be gift wrapped by me! Also, anyone can enter from anywhere in the world.

Buy/Sell/Trade / TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine / Express / GT Region Mod Chips for sale!
07/23/2011, 10:18 PM
Version 3 of the region mod chip is now available! This new chip does not require that you run wires to each hucard slot pin. It fits directly on the pins for easy slim installation. Installation time is around 15 minutes (compared to previous models which could easily take an hour or more)
Pricing is $18 for the mod chip and $3 for postage
Switchless confirmed working. Available soon!
Contact Turbokon for more information.

OG: wayback://93e39fe175e1bc99a4e8a5b730232da0.jpg
ARCHIVE -- Old information for the 1st and 2nd version region mod chips.
Version 2 of the region mod boards are now available and can be purchased from Turbokon directly via his website: http://www.tg16pcemods.com/
Region Mod Chip $16 + $2.50 shipping to US
Switchless Control Board $4 extra
Any questions, feel free to PM either myself or Turbokon.
I wrote up an installation manual that can be downloaded here (~15mb) http://www.mediafire.com/?ad5obr3lls4usm3
As some of you know, thesteve and I have been working on making up some nice new region mod chips for these consoles. Well the boards and parts have all arrived, and I have started to assemble chips! I've tested these in a US Turbo Duo and a US Turbo Express. They work perfect!
These chips will work with a SPDT slide switch just like the other IC based region mods. These require that you cut 8 of the connections going to the hucard slot and run wires to them. If you don't feel comfortable soldering very small connections, you should probably have this done by someone experienced.
Optionally, a second control chip board can be used to run the mod 'switchless'. By 'switchless' we mean there will be no switch mounted externally on the device. This was designed for the portable systems so one doesn't have to cut up their Express or GT (or maybe even LT
) to perform a region switch. In this setup, the original region is default and the second region is selected by holding the select button while powering the unit on. NOTE: This doesnt not work on console systems! It still requires a button press on boot which cannot be done on consoles like it can on portables!
The pricing on these chips will be as follows:
Region Mod Chip $18 shipped
Switchless Control Board $4 extra
If you need a switch or wires with your chip, let me know!
I wrote up an installation manual that can be downloaded here (~15mb) http://www.mediafire.com/?ad5obr3lls4usm3
Please send me a PM if you are interested!
Dimensions on the chips are 0.70" x 0.850" by 0.15" for the main chip, and 0.70" x 0.65" x 0.15" for the switchless control chip.
And now some pictures!

Optionally, a second control chip board can be used to run the mod 'switchless'. By 'switchless' we mean there will be no switch mounted externally on the device. This was designed for the portable systems so one doesn't have to cut up their Express or GT (or maybe even LT
) to perform a region switch. In this setup, the original region is default and the second region is selected by holding the select button while powering the unit on. NOTE: This doesnt not work on console systems! It still requires a button press on boot which cannot be done on consoles like it can on portables!The pricing on these chips will be as follows:
Switchless Control Board $4 extra
If you need a switch or wires with your chip, let me know!
I wrote up an installation manual that can be downloaded here (~15mb) http://www.mediafire.com/?ad5obr3lls4usm3
Please send me a PM if you are interested!
Dimensions on the chips are 0.70" x 0.850" by 0.15" for the main chip, and 0.70" x 0.65" x 0.15" for the switchless control chip.
And now some pictures!

Buy/Sell/Trade / BlueBMW's Duplicate's For Sale - Raffle Over! PMs incoming!
06/19/2011, 01:28 PM
UPDATE: Its over! The raffle has been drawn, see below to see where you fell into the list. PMs will go out soon
UPDATE: I have combined the info etc from the thread at the temp forum with this thread.
I recently got a big lot in from a purchase a few months ago. After sorting everything out, I've ended up with some duplicates from this lot.
The lot in question was from this thread: https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=10235.0
I received numerous PMs, posts, requests, begs, you name it for some of the games in the lot. Everyone wants the same games (of course!) so I needed to figure out a fair way to give everyone a shot at buying what they want. So what I'm going to do is a raffle of sorts... Basically I'll have all the games listed with prices and I will start a list of interested parties. I will close the list next Sunday Nov 27th at NOON EST I'll draw a name. That person will then get to pick ONE game they would like to buy. Then I'll pull another name and that person will get to choose, and so on. Of course anyone is welcome to pass their turn (if the game they wanted is already gone for example) If anything is leftover after everyone's name has been drawn, we'll open it up to first come first serve.
RAFFLE OVER! Here's the list how it came out random! Congrats to those higher on the list, my apologies to those lower...

Console Repair/Mod Center / I'm a new believer in RGB modding! Comparison Pics Inside
05/06/2011, 10:53 PM
So recently I acquired an RGB modded Duo-R with a DIN8 to SCART cable.... then this week, Opethian hooked me up with a SCART to Component converter board. The result is that I can finally utilize the RGB mod on this Duo-R! I have always been a bit skeptical about the true benefits of going through all the cost and hassle of getting RGB out of an old system like this, but now I am a believer!
Please excuse the horrible picture quality as they were taken with my only camera (a smartphone) And the screen shots were taken of the actual TV screen, not from a video capture device of some sort. Even with the poor pictures, you can definitely tell the difference!
The setup:
Supergrafx + SCDrom via Composite
vs
Duo-R via RGB -> SCART -> Component
on a 56" DLP HD TV (Samsung HLS-5687w)
/TheTestSetup.jpg
And the Results!
Composite:
/Composite.jpg
RGB:
/RGB.jpg
Another Composite closer up:
/Composite2.jpg
And RGB of the same spot:

I probably need to adjust some settings on the TV to accommodate this RGB signal better, but so far I think it looks awesome!

Console Repair/Mod Center / REPAIR GUIDE - Super CD-ROM²: Total Capacitor Replacement Chart
04/03/2011, 09:55 PM
It seems that none of this hardware is safe from leaking capacitors as some of these Super CD-ROM² units have started to exhibit issues relating to failing capacitors. Note that both RF shields must be removed and the laser assembly must be removed before all the capacitors can be accessed. Below is a chart mapping all the capacitors in the Super CD-ROM² unit.
The laser installed in the Super CD-ROM² is the Sony KSS-210B and the unit has the same 5 adjustment pots like a Duo unit.
UPDATE:
Some units have an additional 100µF cap installed right above the 4 sided Sony chip next to the 22µF surface mount caps beneath the laser assembly. Others just have an empty pad without a cap.
Also, the RF shields MUST be reinstalled for this unit to work properly. It looks like it links some grounds to one another.
Thanks once again to Red Ghost for the chart format!

Console Repair/Mod Center / System Modifications - Poll
04/03/2011, 03:29 PM
As someone who does repairs and modification work, what do you guys think of modifying our Turbo / PCE systems? They are becoming rarer and rarer as time goes on, so I can understand wanting to preserve factory original hardware. But there are also a lot of benefits to the player when you have a system that's region switched or RGB modded.
Personally, I dont mind most modifications that dont significantly alter the appearance of the console. I like tasteful clean mods that improve functionality (like region switches and A/V jacks etc)
Tell me what you all think.

Console Repair/Mod Center / Turbo CD / PCE CDROM2 Broken Gear / Warmup Issue - Solutions in Development!
03/08/2011, 01:48 AM
There are a few major failures that occur with Turbo CD and PCE CDROM2 units. Historically, the most common failure has been the laser deteriorating to the point where it will no longer read. The repair for this has been to replace the laser assembly which is still readily available for a reasonable price.
Recently however, many have been experiencing two related issues. One is a CDROM unit that will not start up at all. Meaning the disc wont spin, the laser wont turn on, nothing happens at all except for a "0" on the readout. The other issue is that some units will require a significant warm up time. These two issues have been traced to the now infamous "middle gear" on the laser sled mechanism. The gear will either seize up on its axle causing the warm up issue, or teeth will break off the gear rendering the entire unit inoperative.
In a unit where the gear has not broken yet, it has been determined that a relubrication using a safe plastic lubricant on the middle gear axle can extend the life of the unit and correct the warm up issue. This however is not a permanent fix as the gears are still deteriorating and will inevitably break.
Many efforts have been made to find or manufacture replacement middle gears. As of yet, none have succeeded in providing a cost effective solution. Recently however, the tech crew here at PCEFX have been considering alternate methods of repairing this problem.
Finally, just today a completely new solution utilizing a not so new idea has been developed. This process is currently undergoing extensive testing, but so far has proven reliable....
Introducing the CDROM3 Upgrade
This system eliminates the gear system completely and replaces it with a smooth and quiet belt system. The major parts have been sourced. The total cost of this repair will be under $10 for the parts. This repair requires some skill to implement, and so should be done by one of the tech crew here. We are currently testing this solution and also searching for better components, although the components we are using now are proving to be effective!
Soon this repair service will be officially offered at a very low cost to PCEngineFX members in good standing.
Here are some pictures!

Console Repair/Mod Center / REPAIR GUIDE - Laseractive NEC PAC-N1 / N10: Total capacitor replacement chart
02/13/2011, 08:24 PM
I recently replaced the capacitors on two of these units. There is no difference as far as the capacitors go on the N1 (PCE) vs the N10 (TG16). Below is a chart outlining what capacitors you will need and where they will go. You will also need a security bit to open these PACs. Its the same bit as used on Duos.

Console Repair/Mod Center / Does anyone have a Turbo Express (or GT) with a bad screen?
01/07/2011, 01:17 AM
Hey all! I have two Turbo Expresses, one good and one.... well not so good. It would work sometimes, and other times no go. This evening I tried to do a region mod on the flaky unit. Alas, after all the hard work hooking up all those little wires etc.... the system decides it doesn't want to work. Not sure whats wrong with it... and I'm not really worried since it was a flaky unit to begin with. So....
Does anyone have a Turbo Express (or PC Engine GT) with a bad / broken screen they'd like to sell? I'd like to chop this one up and hopefully end up with a second good unit. If anyone has one, please let me know!

We seem to have a pretty big variety of usernames here. Some are pretty obvious in their meaning... others maybe not so much.
So what does your screen name mean, and how did you come up with it?
BlueBMW - I like BMWs, and I like blue, plus the two "B" sounds seem to flow nice My personal BMW is actually white.

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / One man's fight to play Sapphire! - Lots of pics
10/02/2010, 10:20 PM
Rumors told me that there was a great game out there. But there were a few catches... one it was very expensive, and the other was that it required a Japanese Arcade system card to play...
That game of course is Sapphire!
So what do I do if I have a US Duo and I want to play it? That has been my quest over the last several weeks!
Step 1: Bought a cheap copy of Sapphire from Tobias...
/sapphire.jpg
Step 2: Bought an Arcade Pro card from Henrycsc... (and later an arcade duo card from Opethian!)
/arcade.jpg
Step 3: Sourced region mod parts from Digikey, Radio Shack and a local electronics store. Also bought some nice shiny new tools!
/parts.jpg
Step 4: Construct region mod chip as per http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fplayoffline.wordpress.com%2Fmod%2Fpceswitch%2F&lp=de_en&btnTrUrl=Translate
/modchip.jpg
Step 5: Opened my precious US Duo and hacked away!
/finalmod.jpg
Step 6: Switch the region mod to JP region!

Step 7: Insert Arcade system card AND Sapphire CDROM.....

Unlike some here, all I have is a lowly loosie PC Engine copy of Magical Chase. Which is fine for me! But, I can't for the life of me figure out how to use the spells. I've tried every button combo I can come up with. I know I've used them on accident before, but I cant reproduce what I did.
Does anyone have a scan of the US manual detailing the controls for the game?
