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. |

The product of a talented programmer who designed a hit shareware game while he was still in high school, NESticle was so good that everyone looked past the fact its name was basically a dick joke.

Quote from: DragonmasterDan on 10/26/2016, 03:04 PMYou forgot the Piccolo pun.Quote from: guest on 10/26/2016, 02:18 PMPrice gouging on Lickle? That's quite a pickle. Someone should stop this, like the grim reaper and his sickle. And they should do so, soon like real quickle. Though some people might not like it, as they're a little too fickle.Quote from: Flare65 on 10/25/2016, 08:18 PMYou are aware that only about 500 copies of Magical Chase made it out to the retail stores like Electronics Boutique, Toys R Us, etc... right??? Copies with the box an manual are very rare. Even the Japanese copies of the game are few and far between and seem to sell for over the $300.00 mark.Japanese copies are not really that rare, they've just gone through crazy inflation in the last couple of years since everyone wants SOME sort of Magical Chase even if it's not the US one. They even did two printings of the game in Japan. It was never really like a bargain bin game, but even a couple of years ago you could score the JP version for like $100 or so.
The same thing has happened with Lickle for the Famicom. Little Samson is a crazy expensive grail so people go for the next best thing and buy Lickle, and look at the prices on it now

Quote from: BlueBMW on 10/11/2016, 09:22 AMMy opinion... I think Hillary will win this cycle but she will only be a one term president. She's about the worst candidate the Democrats could have picked and I think ultimately it will cost their party. They really alienated a lot of new younger voters with the whole Bernie Sanders affair. I know so many young people who really connected with Sanders over economic issues like income inequality, prohibitive cost of health care and higher education. These young people aren't stupid. The ones I know are mostly engineering students and are surprisingly informed about all these issues. The feeling now is that the system really is rigged and that we really dont have power. The Democrats had the chance to basically get a large swathe of new voters into their fold which would not only effect the presidency but countless down ballot contests. Truly the Democrats fumbled this one... BAD.+1. Not a Sanders supporter, but I do like what he has to say on social issues and foreign policy. Honestly it should have been a Biden/Sanders ticket. Instead we got Billary and Drumpf.
And then there's the Donald Trump phenomenon. I think the Donald Trump campaign "success" has revealed a side of America that is quite honestly appalling. I really cant see how anyone can justify this guy. Its extremely clear that he is a narcissist who has no problem demeaning women and minorities. I mean really he is the epitome of the white male superiority paradigm. His popularity brings into the open the fact that there are a lot of Americans who align with his values. That is the appalling part. I really had hoped that this country had moved beyond racism and sexism but I can see that both issues are alive and well. Few admit that they're racist or sexist but this campaign has given many an opportunity to be comfortable in their beliefs and show them publicly. When I lived in Tennessee I discovered that racism was very much still a thing but I thought it was a local issue. Now with the Trump campaign I see that the problem is widespread. This isn't to say all of Trumps supporters are racist or women-demeaning but his campaign has appealed to those that are. They've come out of the woodwork in numbers far greater than I would have ever imagined.
Here's the part that really gets me. The evangelical vote. I am a church goer myself but I find myself in the minority amongst Christians being a progressive. How the evangelicals can justify a president trump confounds me. Usually the answer is that he's not Hillary. That's no answer. The attempts to justify Trump are offensive. Evangelicals on the whole seem to be stuck in the Conservative camp over a few issues: gay marriage, abortion etc. Issues that rarely are legislated on and only have a small impact on society. Economic issues harm and kill far more people than abortion or gay marriage ever will. I saw this comic a while back and to me it really rings true.
The rest of the world is watching all of this. I don't know the exact reactions but I'm guessing its a mix between laughter, sadness and disgust. Really America, this is the best we could do? Of the 280 million or so people we have living here these two individuals are what rose to the top? I want to believe we are better, rather I have to believe we are better.

Today is my first day back at work since the game came out. The number of kids walking around the campus with their face buried in their phone is nuts (moreso than usual.) I went off to a quiet part of our arboretum, well away from any campus buildings, to make a phone call because I wanted some privacy and I would say that at least 10 people walked past me looking for pokemons on their phone. Jesus I hope this is a fad.I hope so too, getting tired of the interns at work asking for the damn wifi password so they can eat up corporate bandwith to play this game. Seriously.

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Playing audio CD in Duo while playing Huey game
Quote from: csgx1 on 02/01/2016, 01:31 PMI tried the SFII' trick and it works. Pretty cool feature that I wish other Hucard games had. It also would be awesome if a Duo could be modded with CD player controls.I recall reading this in EGM back in the day. Pity I can't find the article, but it was one of those Q-man things that I never took seriously until now.
Here's more details that ElSeven posted a few years ago...Quote from: ElSeven on 01/07/2013, 06:56 PMi love reviving this threadOriginal post...
Rumor (legend?) has it that Street Fighter 2 was originally supposed to load music off of an included CD, which may explain why the hucard comes in a double case. The double case could have just been used to make the game look more impressive, since it was a whopping 9800 YEN at release (ouch!). Either way, the CD was apparently scrapped to help keep the cost down.
Well anyway, the programmers left in the code to turn off the chiptune BGM, so that you may enjoy CD Music with the standard SFII sound effects peppered in. This procedure requires either a cd-rom2 briefcase setup or TG-CD. Sorry, no fancy duo units allowed
1. Startup the game like normal, but let the demo play out
2. Insert a controller into port 3 of the tap and press RUN. This will pause the demo, letting you know it worked correctly.
3. Insert any CD of your preference.
4. Press RUN on controller 1 or 2 to start the game like normal.
5. Press the PLAY button on the CD unit for the music to start, skip buttons to select track.
maybe this is well known, but I had trouble tracking it down online. Thankfully the turbolist archives are still online.

One of those things is adding soft-subtitles to the level name screens.

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Stick Black Balltop?
Quote from: Ghudda on 04/08/2015, 02:35 PMSo I picked up a boxed Turbo Stick today and was surprised to see that it actually had a black ball top, not the usual orange one. Was there by chance a black ball top variant (I'm guessing not), or did someone most likely just swap for their NES Advantage ball top back in the day? I was actually wanting to salvage a black ball top at some point so this is kind of convenient, but it's kind of random and I wasn't expecting to receive it like that.The mod I'm aware of is to make the cable longer (some soldering required) but as far as the black knob it was probably scavenged from a nes advantage joystick.
Also, are there any Turbo Stick mods out there?
I should also mention that it's currently getting a much needed bath.

I have seen cd-rs exhibit that when submerged or something get spilled on it.
