The forum page has been down since late last week. I know DP ain't what it used to be but I liked checking in on the game completion threads. Does anyone know what's going on?

[Off-Topic / Northeast meetup - Funspot/ACAM in Laconia, NH]

A few folks showed interest in a Funspot meetup so I figured a I'd start a new thread bring some more visibility to this idea and see where it goes.

http://www.funspotnh.com/
http://www.classicarcademuseum.org/

I'm in MA about 3 hours south of Laconia. I've been here a few times and try to get there at least once a year. The ACAM is mostly pre-1990 arcade/pinball and is located on the 3rd floor. Downstairs there are some newer machines, ticket games, Skee-Ball, etc. There's also a bowling alley and a small indoor mini-golf course. Someone in another thread mentioned that there are rooms available to rent but I don't know much about it yet.

[General Gaming / SFC repair needed - very low left channel audio]

Hi all. I have a model 1 Super Famicom with almost no left channel audio. I don't hear anything with just the left side plugged in while playing a game. Using the hardware test rom, I can hear the voice sample but it's very quiet (at max TV volume it's as loud as right channel is at maybe 1/4 volume).

Anyone here that can repair this it? I did some searching online but honestly don't trust myself with a soldering iron. I could open it up and snap some pics if it might help.

[Off-Topic / Thinking about getting a PVM]

Hey folks, I'm thinking about ditching my Trinitron TV setup for a smaller PVM. I'll be running a Famicom AV, SFC, PCE briefcase, and a Wii into it.

Do I need to mod these older systems to get component out? Will I see drastic improvements with a PVM over a decent CRT if I stick to composite out?

The 14" models seem to be the most common and the spot I have in mind won't fit a 20". Think I can get away with a 14" for single-player gaming?

Thanks!

[General Gaming / Any modders here that can look at a NES toploader?]

Hi all,
I've got a NES toploader that I had composite and LED modded years ago. At some point the LED went out and I never cared to have it fixed until now. I'm useless when it comes to modding but I'm hoping this won't be too difficult to fix for someone who knows what they're doing.

Here are a few pics. The first one was taken by the person that did the mod (while it worked). Basically a piece of clear frosted plastic was fit in underneath the power switch, and then the LED (or maybe two) were installed underneath. The last two pics are from today showing outside and inside. The hidden LED idea is actually pretty slick but was not my idea.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/433791/2014-06-19%2010.33.05.jpg

I'm hoping I can fix this while keeping the repair+ship costs down, if not I might not bother.

I've also been considering selling it or trading for an AV Famicom, but not sure I want to just yet.

If one of the modders here wants to take a stab at this, PM me please!

Thanks!

Hi all,
Going to start listing off some PCE games for sale over the next week or so.

I'm open to offers, especially if buying multiple games. As I mentioned in my other thread, ping me if there's something specific you're looking for.

[General Gaming / RAFFLE - homemade NES Famicom converter]

Hi all, time for another raffle!

Years ago I cannibalized a Gyromite cart and a couple of Game Genie shells to make this thing (more pics here).

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/433791/DSC02473.jpg

I intended to start collecting Famicom carts and figured I could use this to play the games on my A/V modded toploader, but that never happened and outside of the Tetris cart you see in the pics (which I paid $1 for and has since disappeared) I never ended up buying anymore Famicom carts. It's ugly and I never did bother to paint it. Total cost was under $5 for everything and it was a fun little project, but it's time for it to get some use.

The raffle will end on or around 5/23 and the rules are light:

-25 post minimum. Really, 25 posts is peanuts and you've got plenty of time to do it. If most of your posts are in the FS forums, don't bother.
-Just post in this thread asking to be included. I will edit this first post to list out all entrants.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Looking for TG/PCE figure or trinkets for game shelf]

Hi all,
My gaming bookcase consists of NES, SNES, and TG/PCE, and I'm trying to find a couple of TG/PCE related items to decorate the shelves with. The Nintendo shelves are adorned with some small stuffed figures I picked up at the NWS in New York, but I'd really like to find something for the two turbob shelves.

Anyone out there have anything they can point me to? I'd love to find a PC Genjin figure or something but am curious to see what's out there. Nothing crazy expensive, please.

Thanks!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Macross 2036 back insert - Anyone notice this?]

Was looking at this one today and noticed the little pink Macross/Bigwest label is actually raised. It looks like a sticker or something. Why would they spend the extra money to print a non-standard insert, knowing it'd be forever hidden behind the plastic? Is that sticker hiding something?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Ave6 on the fritz]

Hi all,
Having issues with my Avenue6 pad. When I press any direction on the d-pad, it only registers for a split-second, rather than the whole time it's held. If I tap one direction rapidly, for example, my character will slowly move in that direction.
The I and II buttons are having trouble also. Only one out of every 3-4 button presses will actually register.
Both modes A/B are having the same issues. I've taken it apart and everything looks nice and clean. The switches are tight and the contacts look good, and the button-press feels good.

This pad was re-cabled a few years back by a member here (I wanted a longer cable) but I checked the wires today and all look intact. Also, the symptoms didn't seem to indicate a bad wire.

Any ideas? Am I out of luck with this controller? If so, anyone have an Ave6 board they want to sell?

Thanks!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Can someone enlighten me on Implode and Meteor Blaster DX?]

Hi all,
Can someone bring me up to speed on these two? I've been looking around to see if these were still available "new" knowing that I'm probably a few years late.

Implode is available for purchase in two separate areas of the MindRec site ($10 in one place, $25 in another) and the PayPal links are still active, but I held off after seeing the "Last Updated 2006" footer on their site.
MBDX I have not seen show up anywhere, not even on eBay.

I'd like to pick these two up if they won't cost an arm and a leg.

Lastly, any other TG/PCE homebrew that I should own, besides Insanity which I already have?

Thanks!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / You put your English in my Japanese!]

I've always wondered why there is so much English in Japanese games.

My first Japanese anything gaming-related was my Duo-R, and in addition to the console markings, I see Select and Run on the gamepad and title screen. Many PCE games have English menus and/or English words spattered throughout. PCE games titles will be all or partially in English. The spines of many PCE games have both Japanese and English (Valis, Red Alert), or just English (Batman, Shinobi) or Japanese on the main spine and English on the alternate side (Advanced VG).

I'm sure there's an easy and obvious answer, but it eludes me. What gives?

Now the rules (partially stolen from other raffle listings here):
-75 post minimum on this forum AND a member for at least 30 days.
-If you have won a previous Sapphire raffle, you are not qualified to enter this one.
-By entering this raffle, you promise that if you decide to part with this down the road, you will either re-raffle it on these boards or donate it to a good friend that will not run to eBay with it.
-The discs will be shipped free within CONUS. International winners must cover the additional shipping costs.
-Winners will be selected at random on 8/8.
-Just post in this thread if you would like to be entered in this raffle. I will do the number thing in this post that seemed to work well in previous raffles.

Good luck!

[Off-Topic / 365th Post Thread]

This thread is only for people to post their 365th post.  If you try to post anything else but your 365th post here, you are an asshole...   because this is the 365th post thread.

Just wanted to say this site has been pretty solid for the first 365 posts, hopefully it keeps getting better!

I wonder if anyone else will ever post here?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Individual TG16 spine stickers (custom made by Sparky)]

Hi all,
Several months back I bought a complete 'large' set of TG16 spine stickers from Sparky. I only used maybe 10 of them, and would hate to see the rest of 'em go to waste because I won't be using them. And I know that some people only need a couple stickers and don't want to purchase an entire set.

I would like to part off the remaining stickers but would prefer to limit this to 3 stickers per person. Cost will be $1 shipped for up to 3 spine stickers to anywhere in the continental US (sorry, would rather not deal with international shipping). If you need more than that I'd recommend picking up a complete set from Sparky himself, as he put a lot of time into these and it really shows in the quality.

The original thread for Sparky's complete spine sticker set (HIGHLY recommended if you need more than a few labels) is right here. And before anyone jumps on me, I did clear this w/Sparky prior to posting this thread. I'm sure if it made sense for him to make individual stickers, he'd be doing it.

Whatever is left here in a couple weeks I will probably unload in one large lot.

Here are the ones that are NOT available (I may be missing 1-2 here). Everything else is fair game.

Air Zonk
Andre Panza Kickboxing
Chew Man Fu
Dead Moon
Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu
Legandary Axe 2
Neutopia 2
Side Arms
Soldier Blade

Please PM me with the stickers you're looking for, these will be distributed on a first-come first-serve basis.

Thanks!

Sorry, was easier to post a new thread than wait for the original to get moved.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Ordyne cover: Was the PCE artwork 'too Japanese'?]

Just noticed this today (I own the PCE version and had only glanced at the US cover artwork before today). Anyone else find the US cover a bit creepy after looking at the JP version?

JP version at PCECP.com
US version at PCECP.com




This is the only game that comes to mind that the cover art was just 'tweaked' as opposed to being completely redone. I'm sure there are others though.

[General Gaming / Anyone bought/built a desktop arcade stick for MAME use?]

Hi all, just started researching this idea again and looking for tips/info, etc.

I'm figuring this'll probably be a 1-player stick, possibly w/trackball and spinner (if I can do it without making the thing obscenely huge). 8-way stick plus maybe 8-10 buttons total should suffice.

An 8-way joystick and some buttons look to be fairly cheap. I actually have a couple joysticks and a dozen or so buttons around here that I bought from Happs many years ago, along with a keyboard emulator that I never ended up using either. Trackball and spinner are pricey though.

Thoughts? Does anyone here make these things? I'd love to do an arcade cab someday but in the meantime something like this would suffice.

Thanks!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Need two more PCE controllers, possibly an arcade stick, what are my options?]

Hi all,

I originally went to post in this thread but decided I should start a new one instead of making a mess of someone else's WTB thread. And maybe the answers in this thread will help someone else down the road.   

I currently have three pads: an Ave6, a white Duo-R pad, and a black/blue (I think) CoreGrafx pad. I need two more controllers.

I'd like to pick up an arcade-style stick. I don't need anything fancy, but the only option I've come across would be a US Turbostick that I would need to get modified for my Duo-R. And I've never used one so I don't know if I'll even like it.

Did NEC ever put out an arcade stick for the PCE and Duo-R, or are there any recommended third-party ones? I've seen the XE1 Pro (or something like that) mentioned here but never saw one for sale. It may have been for the Famicom, I can't remember right now.

Finally, what should my 5th pad be? Anything special about the Ave3 pads? They look fairly comfy (I use the Ave6 with no issues). Or should I go with another 6-button, like a Duo-RX pad, if I can find one that doesn't cost $100?

Thanks!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / This D-bag is at it again on eBay]

Sorry, couldn't find the original thread.

Linky.

Let's report him so eBay will pull the auction. Just kidding, eBay won't do anything (but I reported it anyway).

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / TG16 hucards w/actual artwork on them?]

I noticed today that the Parasol Stars huey (TG16) has actual art on it. Were there any other TG16 hueys that had artwork on them? I think every PCE huey I've seen has it, but all the US versions are BORING.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Galaga '88 just called me a greenhorn?]

Wow.

I finally started playing Galaga '88 again and finished taking the low path for the first time (not collecting ANY of the blue capsules). The ending is apparently different depending on which path you take. I got this message:

BETTER NOT GET TOO CONFIDENT
YOU GREENHORN



Google search isn't pulling it up, kinda surprised.  I'm still looking though. Anyone else seen this?

EDIT: Google found the ASCII text contents of the .PCE (ROM) file! Looks like all of the ending messages are here. Here's the one I got from taking the low path. Wonder if the US version has the same message?

YOU ARE DOING OK
BUT IN REAL MISSION
THERE IS NO RECOVER CAPSULE
YOU NEED MORE PRACTICE
BETTER NOT GET TOO CONFIDENT
YOU GREENHORN
