2/13/2025: Localization News - Cosmic Fantasy 3-4!Rather earth-shattering news in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 community: Cosmic Fantasy 3 & 4 has been officially localized to English by Edia 30 years later for the Switch! Hard to believe! I know their script quality is poor given the 1&2 port but still good to see.

hello pcengine-fx.com I am new, writing from Italy. I have two cdrom2 units with weird problems...
first one> has been found in a dead stock, never used but it doesn't work properly; when you press play the led number will appear but the cd does not spin, anyway....if I leave the power connected for like 5 minutes, it will work perfectly! then if I remove the power and reconnect it right away it won't work, I have to wait another 5 minutes. any clue on which part could be faulty? capacitors?
second one> this looks alomst mint too; it starts, cd spins but after a while it says SET CD on the screen...
some games will load though, like super darius, I can play one game but after the game over it will not be able to read the cd again, it just spins and make the same noise ripetitively...could it be the lens that has to be calibrated? or something else?
eventually I have one dead unit (already took the middle gear from it...) and also several sony discman to steal parts from.
