Title: WTB RomRom Amp
Post by: Tw3ek on 08/08/2017, 12:28 AM
Hello everyone!

I'm looking to get my karaoke on, PCE style. I know this is going to probably be a long shot, but if anyone doesn't want one anymore, lemme know!

You'll have a better chance of people who own one at all finding your thread in the PCE Sales section, but they aren't cheap.

The worst part is that it's here because I missed the / between PC Engine and SuperGrafx. I have no one to blame but me lol

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  ](*,)

It's basically a receiver/speaker/kaoroke set.

Ah. I see it now. Wasn't there a karaoke for the Sega Genesis?

xcrement5x has one. It perfectly compliments the model 1 set, just as the Rom2 Amp does the white PCE/IFU.

I was disappointed that it wasn't included in the final boss fight of Segagaga.

This is an older pic, but it really is a slick looking piece of hardware that goes with the MD/CD1 and makes a cool set.

Sadly (but maybe for the best since I'm a horrible singer) I do not do much karaoke with it.  It has some neat audio settings that were fun to play around with in games sometimes though.  Mine has been MIA after a move though, I try not to think about it and hope it's just hiding somewhere :(

Yarr, that's slick.  Please tell me there's matching speakers too.

I've never seen Mega Drive speakers, but I've seen WonderMega speakers and Genesis ones.  Neither of them look that cool (probably just branded bookshelf speakers from what I can see).

There is a MegaDrive modem though, I have that also for maximum collectarding.  :dance:

The real question is: which one is better?

I think they are both two channel, right? Can anyone compare sound quality? Is there a reverb? It's hard to imagine karaoke without it. Maybe one reverb sounds better than the other?

I'd imagine the constant squeal coming from the PCE would be a mark against probably even MegaCD when it comes to sound quality.

I am a collectard.

I still want the RomRomAmp.

Damn.
