[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Joystick Compatibility w/Supergrafx]

Are there any known incompatibilities with joysticks and the SuperGrafx?  My XE-1 HE Pro does not respond correctly on my SGX, but works fine on my Duo.  I thought it might be due to the built-in multi tap on the joystick but confirmed that a multi tap and two pads work fine on the SGX.

Button mappings appear off:  joystick commands are interpreted as Pause, all button inputs act like button 1, etc.  Same deal if I switch off the SGX switch.

Hori Fight Stick Multi works fine, but *only* in 2–button mode.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Might & Magic III Live Stream]

EDIT:  We're live now:  https://www.twitch.tv/savagepencil

After the success of this thread ( https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=21264.0 ), I'd like to plan a livestream of M&M III this weekend.  I'm thinking of doing an all-day Sunday marathon.  My goal would be for participants to indicate their characters' actions and make party decisions.  We won't necessarily be in it to win it.

It will be my first time playing this version of M&M III, as I played it on the PC when it first came out.  I'll try to get up to speed with it beforehand to remember the game systems and to see what changed in its transition to home console.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Emerald Dragon QQs...]

I received a copy of Emerald Dragon yesterday and had a couple o' questions that I was hoping I could get answered:

1.  The game came in a double-disc case.  I'm guessing this is one of those instances where they used the second "bay" for holding the map?  I hope I'm not missing a fan art disc or anything, but pcengine.co.uk and pcedaisakusen don't indicate the #/discs, and pcecp search appears to be broken.

2.  Speaking of PCEDaisakusen, they list an Emerald Dragon Taikenban (link http://www.pcedaisakusen.net/2/28/504/1/Emerald-Dragon-Taikenban-Guidebook-jp.htm), which is described as a "Magazine Insert" but also as a SCD.  What is this, exactly?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / YMO in XZR...]

I decided to give the Exile ("XZR") soundtrack a listen today and something struck me as odd.  I knew I'd heard a little ditty, a little staccato sample, somewhere but it took me a little bit to ID it.

It's right around 5:10 in this soundtrack:  https://youtu.be/6C3aCdvD8s8?t=308

It's the exact same sound from Yellow Magic Orchestra ("YMO")'s first album, at the end of Tong Poo as the song transitions into La Femme Chinoise:  https://youtu.be/Uy5XPdyhzfw?t=1463

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Squealy Duo CD Drive...]

The CD drive in my Duo has become a bit squealy since I started playing again recently.  The squeal only occurs when the drive is in motion, and it's now getting loud enough that it's driving my wife crazy.

Is this a pot adjustment, a call for some lubricant, or something else?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Help me figure out Builderland...]

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Recently got ahold of Builderland on CD for the Turbo Duo.  Can anyone explain the interface for me?  It appears that there's an area to store items (or perhaps in later levels they just give you some up there).  Most importantly, if my dude gets stuck, is there a way to kill him and restart the level quickly?
