[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Does the print booster take ink carts?]

Hi Folks

Can someone clarify for me if the print booster takes an ink cartridge / special pens or does it use everyday inks?

I am just wondering if there are replacement consumables available before I purchase one.

Cheers

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Totally Lost YS II]

I have played YS  up to the point where in book 2 you end up in the Solomon Shrine section.  I have been in canal west to the point where Lilia and companions turn to stone after you get the master key from her.

Then I have explored the locked doors in the surrounding area and have found the Magic of Timestop and the Iron Shield.

Now I am totally, totally lost ..............

After randomly wandering around for near 3 hours I have looked at the walk through over at game FAQ for the first time.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/turbocd/918280-ys-book-i-and-ii/faqs/7622

I think I am at the start of the section headed "Subsection 5: Draining the Canals"

The guile says "First, head to the room where you got the password" and I have no idea where this bit is (I have not played the game for a few weeks do I cannot remember!)

After  hours of randomly wandering around I ask you guys n girls for help!

Hi

I have been looking around to try to find out what VOL 1 of the Face series is.  All I can presume that this is "Hani in the Sky" is it, as I cannot find any reference a Vol 1. title and "Hani in the Sky" is the only Face title that I am aware of that does not have a vol. number.

Also the code for the title is also "FA64-0001" which also seems to fit.

Am I correct?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / System Card Version Guide]

I have been looking around to find information reading the different System card versions and their differences.  I have compiled the following list from several sources (listed at the end!) and thought that others may find this useful.

Please feel free to comment and correct any detail.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / System Card 1.0 accessing the memory viewer and debugger]

I have read a few sites that say that version 1.0 of the system card has a secret code that unlocks a simple memory viewer and debugger.

Does anyone know the code to access this function?
