[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What PC-Engine Stuff did you get today?]

I'd like to pick up a six button controller one day. SF2 just feels wrong on the standard controller.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: And yet another TE question]

No, audio and video are seperate circuits therefore different sets of caps.  Replace them all.

Ok. Was waiting for a confirmation from one of the real modders (unlike me).

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: And yet another TE question]

Probably should. It's just I'm pretty sure I have a spare 4.7 uf cap that will fix the video. Wouldn't have to order any extra if that one could possibly fix it.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / And yet another TE question]

I know there are a couple threads about TE repair stickied, but I couldn't find an answer. Got a TE yesterday and just got a fresh set of batteries. Turns on but screen is black and no sound. Could one cap be effecting the unit from working? Meaning if I change the cap in the video circuit, could both picture and sound work? I know there could be a lot of variables but just wondering if anyone can answer from experience.

Might be a while before I can work on it, so also wondering if I should just go ahead and change out all the caps while I have it open.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: (CLOSED) Turbo Everdrive Group Buy ORDERED!]

I entered the Ukraine tracking number they gave me into USPS and my Everdrive is at least in the US. Took four days to make it from shipment to clearing customs in Ukraine. Was hung up in New York for a couple days as well. Mine should be here soon and your order not far behind.

[Off-Topic / Re: What do you depise AT THIS MOMENT, literally....]

I read it in Retro Magazine. They talked about a bunch of retro consoles and gave their own top ten games for each system. Was a special edition and not their regular issue.

[Off-Topic / Re: What do you depise AT THIS MOMENT, literally....]

Psshhh. What do the Japanese know about fighting. Or fighting games. Or what Americans want.

[Off-Topic / Re: What are you doing at this moment?]

I'm looking around the house for 6 AA batteries that have enough juice to power my newly acquired Turbo Express.

[Off-Topic / Re: What do you depise AT THIS MOMENT, literally....]

Discovering that SMS had Mortal Kombat 3 released on it and the poor turbob didn't even get MK1.

I read today that the exclusive rights to MK were offered to TTI (or whoever owned it at the time). Guess we know how that went...

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

My Gate of Thunder finally arrived. Pretty sure it was delivered on the back of the world's slowest snail. Oh well, it's here.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Bubble Bobble]

Nintendo didn't allow third party companies to develop games for other systems. They would have stopped doing business with Taito if they did a port.

[General Gaming / Re: "Why I Dislike The N64", or "What is the Deal With the N64?"]

I've never played the DS version, so I can't say.

[General Gaming / Re: "Why I Dislike The N64", or "What is the Deal With the N64?"]

Yeah, I've never really heard anyone say they don't like Mario 64 either. I never played it as a kid and only really started playing it a few years ago. I believe it's a good game, but some of the graphics have NOT aged well. I think it's the worst graphical representation of Mario. And when that's the main character of your game, that's a bad thing.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Turbo Express Dead Pixel - Recycling Pixels back to life?]

You guys should stop talking about the TE. You're making me want to get one...

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Bubble Bobble]

There's no music in the video, yet I still have that catchy (annoying) song stuck in my head. Thanks! Guess I've played way too much Bubble Bobble.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: ATLANTEAN ORDERING INFORMATION (not til Friday)]

Dang. Do you live next door to the guy? That was quick shipping. Or did you get it in advance of the orders?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: (CLOSED) Turbo Everdrive Group Buy ORDERED!]

I feel like the Everdrive will somehow teleport into my mailbox and never actually enter the postal system. That weird number is like the number you get at the DMV. Just waiting on that number to start the teleportation.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: (CLOSED) Turbo Everdrive Group Buy ORDERED!]

I ordered a bit before you guys. Got a tracking number but it's not in any format I'm familiar with. I keep checking back to see if it has updated to a USPS number but it hasn't.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What Turbo game are you currently playing?]

Blazing Lasers. Just as good as advertised.

[Off-Topic / Re: Robin Williams, dead at 63]

Jack was my favorite. Was totally convincing playing a 10 year old in a 40 year old body. Was also great when he was a senior in high school...and in his life.

[Off-Topic / Re: Robin Williams, dead at 63]

Awful news. Still hope it's not true.

Edit: coroner report above. Guess that's it.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Let's Talk About the Awesomeness Bloody Wolf]

Eager to play this one when my Everdrive gets here.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New printed parts arrived today (duo door and everdrive case)]

You can paint it with black vinyl dye. It bonds to the plastic.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Broken HU Cards :(]

Not certain, but I imagine you run the hair dryer over the card for a while to possibly reflow the solder. Wait till someone important confirms that though.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New printed parts arrived today (duo door and everdrive case)]

I continue to be amazed at what can be produced with a 3D printer. Sometimes I feel like we're in the future. Where's my hover board?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Region Chip]

I ended up using these for my mod. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=16637366 Put a little solder on the pins and slipped these over them. Heated up solder and had a solid connection. Not the most professional way, but my soldering skills had diminished since the last time I soldered. Had to make it work somehow.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Region Chip]

Just put a little solder on the pins before hand and connect the wires to that. You could even have the wires pre-tinned as well.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: ATLANTEAN ORDERING INFORMATION (not til Friday)]

^ Very cool that you make HuCards. Are they original games or ports?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: ATLANTEAN ORDERING INFORMATION (not til Friday)]

Is it normal that i still didn't get my invoice ?

He said all invoices for this round have been sent out. You'll have to wait for the second batch.

And thanks for letting me know, Arkhan. Now I can stop frantically checking my inbox for an invoice. Not that I was doing that or anything...

Thanks for the answer.

And sorry for the disturbance.

It's all good. All of us are eager to get a copy, even Nulltard. He just has his own special way of showing it.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: ATLANTEAN ORDERING INFORMATION (not til Friday)]

Have you sent out all the invoices for the first round of orders?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: ATLANTEAN ORDERING INFORMATION (not til Friday)]

Had a meeting at work and placed my order two hours after orders were being taken. Guess I'll have to wait until the second run.

[Off-Topic / Re: What do you guys think about the upcoming TMNT movie?]

In the end, they didn't really make this for us - they made it for kids today. These kids will hate the next generation of turtle movies that come out when they're older.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: Turbo Grafx 16 CD Case, Duo Power supply, Raffle TG-16 Hu-Sleeves]

Please put me in the raffle. Have a few sleeveless cards.

[General Gaming / Re: "Why I Dislike The N64", or "What is the Deal With the N64?"]

I have a pretty big N64 collection but have been thinking about selling off most of it and just keeping a few that are actually good. Picked up around 130 boxed N64 games about a year ago. Got them from a guy who used to own a video store and I couldn't pass up his price. Most of the games aren't very good and have not aged well. There are a few good ones but man are there some bad ones too.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: (7/31/2014 - 8/6/2014) Game of the Week: Blazing Lazers]

I know the week is over but I finally got a chance to really spend some time with this game today. Got to level 5 and a score of 1,188,080 before I died. Used the remaining continues to get to the boss of level 6 twice but couldn't beat him. Have never made it this far. The TG has my shooter chops up lately.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Region Chip]

Are you having problems with the HuCard pins or the circuit board pins no staying connected?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What PC-Engine Stuff did you get today?]

I wasn't in the Group Buy but I'd be down for getting a cover if a bunch of people went in on it together.

[Off-Topic / Re: Word association thread]

The Wiz

[Off-Topic / Re: What do you guys think about the upcoming TMNT movie?]

Did anyone see it? Heard it wasn't terrible but wasn't good either.

[General Gaming / Re: Just got a 3DS. What are the must have good games?]

***Spoiler alert***

I love how Bowser is a skeleton after you beat the game the first time.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TG games in the wild?]

Whistling, whistling, whistling, whistling, dark, dark, dark, dark...

I love the random brass band at the end of the song. Had to be an out take that they decided to keep.

[Off-Topic / Re: in a perfect world...]

Two girls for every boy. Nah, that would actually be a bad thing in the end.

Because one girl has a strap-on?

Both.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TG games in the wild?]

So, uhmmm...yeah. Anybody ever find a TG game in an abandoned mine, phone booth, or truck stop bathroom?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TG games in the wild?]

I don't do garage sales much around here as it's mostly baby clothes. When I do go to sales, I always ask for games and specific systems whether they have any on display or not. Never really ask for TG, but maybe I should. Just figure people in my area aren't cool enough to have it. I'm not cool enough to have it either. Maybe one day...

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New printed parts arrived today (duo door and everdrive case)]

More awesome goodies!  How is the everdrive cover attached?

This. Is it glued on or pressure fitted?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TG games in the wild?]

What?

You said you weren't trolling. Thought it was your ad for some reason and you were defending yourself. My bad.

And Null, let's change the song to Whistling in the Dark, mmkay?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New printed parts arrived today (duo door and everdrive case)]

Are these for sale yet or is this just a test run?

Which part?  All of them are close to being finished.  I will probably do one more test run of each part to finalize the design.  The biggest hurtle is going to be matching the gray color on the DUO door and the Turboexpress door.

I'd be up for the Everdrive cover at least and maybe the DUO door and TE battery cover.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TG games in the wild?]

No trolling here... I do not need to see who others are...

Wait, that's your CL ad?
