As always, I'm impressed looking forward to this and if PCe star sherrif ever gets released.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community! Nearly Gone]

Any word on him releasing to you guys the xak3 and SO2 games? Just curious.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: turbo everdrive prob]

The PCB is very thick by default, so is mine.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS - Exile and Keith Courage, both with boxes.]

this was sold last week. for $17.99 plus shipping.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS - Exile and Keith Courage, both with boxes.]

I was out of town on business. responding now. Thanks.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS - Exile and Keith Courage, both with boxes.]

still available, if anyone is interested.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Dragon Warrior for PCE]

Really impressive. You guys always make me wish I did more coding.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Hori Fighting Commander PC]

yea, I think mine was $35 shipped from Japan to US. I love it. It was "CIB".

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Sydney Hunter And The Caverns Of Death]

very intriguing.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Xanadu I and II - General Translation Project(s) Thread]

congrats Sam. Very interested in this, I played it previously all the way through, but it was difficult with my limited japanese lol

[Fighting Street / Re: Volgarr the Viking!]

for me it's all about the manual. I like a good manual. PICTURES!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS - Exile and Keith Courage, both with boxes.]

still have. I would like to sell locally in the US. I've had some issues with "items not getting to" Canada, UK or Mexico.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Xanadu I and II - General Translation Project(s) Thread]

Thanks for the update SAMIAM.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song II: Eternal Silence]

I believe all his work has stopped on any project, if I recall.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Just... Bad, Turbo Ebay Auctions (Not Gouging)]

it sold. lol.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS - Exile and Keith Courage, both with boxes.]

slight bump. Still have.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Tennokoe Bank question]

He mentionned a Duo-R, so I supose unless he own a PC Engine aside, he won't have any use for a Tennokoe II.

Smart man, yes that's true.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Reproduction DUO card doors now avalible!]

did I miss the PCE Duo-R doors? or are those not being made yet?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community! Round 2 Go!]

Batch 3!

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PC Engine Duo-R Repair]

to be honest, depending on what it needs, you're probably better off getting a working one. That's what happened to me and my AES, I ended up spending more money on shipping and repairs I couldn't do that made the "junk" buy worthless. However, my Pc-Engine DUO-R that was junk, ended up just needing some solder joints repaired on the power, AV and controller ports.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community! Round 2 Go!]

Renny Blaster should be excluded because labeling it as a "best of Japan" is an insult to Japan.

Is it really that bad of a game???

I like that game, but I will be honest MANY Pc Engine brawlers do not have very tight controls. Even Bonk I don't feel is very tight for such a regarded game. To me soldier blade has the best controls of any pc engine/tg-16 game.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community! Round 2 Go!]

Waiting for a Xak3 one, but I know that's still just as sketchy as Dracula X

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Jungle Bros: lord_cack's pet project! :)]

Damn, I was always hoping this would get released. I even spoke to someone on the facebook page which said a demo release would be given out, but I never saw it.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Convinced a friend to get into Turbo]

Duo-R... Enough said

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Convinced a friend to get into Turbo]

If he has skills, tell him to buy a broken one. If not, go the duo-r route with a everdrive.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: RIP my beloved Supergrafx]

Open the "guy" up and let's see.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Tennokoe Bank question]

I was honestly hoping for more responses based on facts, sorry to say. I've been slowly replacing all the batteries of devices I'm using, Neo Geo Memory card, NES or SNES batteries, etc. I'd rather not lose my saves. I've got a few larger games which require the Tennokoe Bank functionality to save to from my DUO-R. I just rotate what Bank is currently on my DUO-R. My plan is just to use a tabbed CR2032 and wire to the two pads using thin wire and then "Tape" the cover back on.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community! Round 2 Go!]

Any chance for his other discs? Xak III or SOII or the caravan shooters? I know the first two are translated, but since drac was done, I thought I should ask.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Tennokoe Bank question]

I need to replace the battery on my bank. I really don't want to have to buy "another" Tennokoe Bank to move games over to and then replace the battery on mine.

Is there a way to keep it powered up and retain saves, i.e. If I have the card plugged in and the system powered on, can I de-solder the battery and install the new one? I would obviously have to remove the "Shield" before inserting the hucard.

I haven't seen anywhere with this question specifically or an answer. I know some people do this with SNES games.

Any ideas let me know.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / TZD - Hucard cases being sold]

I'm curious if anyone purchased these and if so, how was the quality for $20 bucks a pop?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community!]

Hi! I'm interested in just two games, Shadowgate & Isles of terra, but I live in Spain.
It's possible to shipping here?

I think they are sold out now of those releases.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Manuals and cases for Turbob Xpress]

Not legible as in the print is not readable? I'd say that was pretty far from retail-grade, the final inspection process at least.

Are you asking me or confirming similar quality on yours?

*AGAIN, not bitching, just identifying that printing so many of these, the ink may have ran out lol*

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Manuals and cases for Turbob Xpress]

I can say that the quality is comparable to the real deal.  Senor BRAAAAP hooked me up with a Drac X manual at MGC and it is muy bien!

I'm not complaining, but I will say that a few of the pages from the three that I got were not legible. So, nice YES!, but equal to that of a retail version? Not so much. Still a nice product though.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: DNWTB: Fan translated Turbo games]

Everyone in this thread is BANNED!

And that includes Nulltard! My world is falling apart.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTS: Hucard Lot]

Two Games: Price - $ 37 shipped or best offer. I want these gone. Just cards, no damage to labels etc.

Bloody Wolf - Turbografx 16

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community!]

I've done a ultra spectral analysis of my discs and they shoe no signs of being "loved" by Bernie, does that make mine more rare ;-p

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community!]

Question, why are the inserts for "super cd" and not black like other US releases? Just curious.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Reproduction DUO card door group buy]

I would need a wait DUO-R door for sure. Nice work.

Pm'd Bernie. Thx.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community!]

Thanks to everyone involved. This is truly neat.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Hori Fighting Commander PC Controller]

The ave 3 was always just so damn expensive. I got the hori for $40 boxed and shipped.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Hori Fighting Commander PC Controller]

My thing is the circular SNES design, which doesn't cramp my hands. I played Ys III for like 3 hours last night and I didn't want to cut my hands off.

I've cleared that game a dozen times over the years, never had a problem with controllers. This is a game where you don't even have to press "attack". I could easily play it for many hours with probably any controller, even 3DO. It sounds like you need physical/mental therapy or something. The standard  PCE pad isn't perfect, but it's rare for anyone to complain about it unless they have hooks for hands. Do you have hooks for hands? Is all this too late? How long have you been struggling with issues of self harm?

That would be something we call "an over exaggeration", but here I can help you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exaggeration it even has pictures.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Hori Fighting Commander PC Controller]

I love this controller. The white pc engine controller killed my hands when playing Ys I and II, but this controller definitely changed how I look at PC Engine now. I wish I had it earlier.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS - Exile and Keith Courage, both with boxes.]

anyone interested? price debatable

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Happy OBEY Day]

My Obey say was when I wanted to play soldier blade on a near console. I couldn't justify paying $450 (well I couldn't justify to my wife) for a Turbo Duo. I found a Duo PC-Engine that was "Broken". After about three weeks I finally got it and really the only thing wrong was a dirty lens and loss connections which were de-soldered and then reattached. The machine is still working today (it's been 3 years).

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Anearth Fantasy Stories - Translation Project Thread]

Yea I like to play as I translate, it helps me verify thst I'm making the story fit the atmosphere etc. I usually text dump but I use a table entry for like hex code 00fd=st, so I know when text starts etc or end or if there's a line break. I'm working on cool cool jam for NGPC now.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: "The End" Ys I and II beat finally]

I would have killed for an auto turbo feature for the last boss in Ys II, that guy was a pain. I tried to level up so I could do more damage, but anywhere I went i would only get about 5-10 exp per kill. I think I beat it at lv 61, which was higher than the "recommended" level of 55.
