I too have improved with age.
RIP to BT Garner of MindRec.com... He passed away early 2023 from health problems. BT was one of the top PCE homebrew developers and founder of the OG Turbo List, then PCECP.com. Condolences to family and friends. |

(windows only =P)Quote from: turbogrfxfan on 08/31/2010, 08:59 PMDo ya really have raffle balls? lol are you going to do it live via skype? no I think this is very cool of you bmw. someone should have one every month!!Haha, that would be cool. I'm hoping to find an easy computer program to pick it, maybe there's even a live online one somewhere. Otherwise, I'll just assign numbers to each name and write a quick random number generator on the calculator lol.

Quote from: guest on 08/14/2010, 09:09 AMDoes anyone else have dreams where you walk into some random shop and spot rare/unowned PC Engine games hidden away somewhere? Or is it just me?lol, I get those quite frequently. I hate waking up and not having the games though!
Quote from: turbo D on 04/29/2010, 01:06 AMGrab a multi-meter and follow the trace of where the solder pad used to be (use the continuity setting, looks like this: -l>l-))) .) I imagine you can follow it to one of those holes that are in close proximity. If one of those holes works out, then you've scored as you can run one of your cap legs through it and solder away. Good luck friend. =D____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Quote from: SignOfZeta on 07/28/2010, 02:39 PMMost of these OEMs make as much money from kickbacks from putting shortcuts for trial software on the desktop (something that Apple doesn't do at all) than they do by actually selling the computer itself. Are you saying that is what they should be aiming for?Why include links to trial software for kickbacks when the only software that works(or is worth using) on Mac OS is made by Apple? lol. As far as the iphone goes, the same situation is existent except for the fact that jailbreaking has recently become a legal practice(which I was happy to hear).
Quote from: SignOfZeta on 07/28/2010, 02:39 PMAnyone who was into computers in the 80s had a much better selection*... but that was a different time. Computers were much more reliable back then, and there were more OS to chose from, but computers also cost a lot more and didn't do nearly as much stuff so...its a trade off.I disagree about machines and/or OSs being more reliable in the eighties. The techniques in software design as well as the manufacture of hardware we have today is so far ahead of the technologies of the eighties. In fact (to stay on topic) my cellular phone is a more powerful and more reliable computer than any computer built in the eighties.
Quote from: MaximumRD on 07/23/2010, 12:05 AMI was still curious about what the members here think of them in general, opinions, comments, stories.I really love mine. The best use I make of it is playing turbo on the toilet, lol. It is really quite addictive to play as an alternative to a television setup; you can easily switch cards in an instant without having to get up or anything like that. In fact, I have a special stack of TurboExpress designated hucards that I transport and play exclusively on my TurboExpress!
Quote from: MaximumRD on 07/23/2010, 12:05 AMIs it particularly rare compared to the other NEC consoles?I don't think it is particularly rare, but it does seem to have held its value well.
Quote from: MaximumRD on 07/23/2010, 12:05 AMMany problems with them?Unfortunately, our awesome handheld tends to suffer from leaky || dried-out capacitors However, the capacitor replacement is not difficult for someone with soldering capabilities.
Quote from: MaximumRD on 07/23/2010, 12:05 AMCompatibility issues?The only issue is that it is not region free. Playing PC-Engine games on a TurboExpress && vise versa, will require some sort of hucard converter || region modification.
