[General Gaming / Re: demon souls]

Really?  I've only played around 30 hours and I've beaten the game!  What have you been doing, letting your character stand in the Nexus overnight? 

The Spider is easy.  The boss after that... the Flamelurker... that can be a challenge (but can also be really easy.

Here, this page might help:

thanks for the link...way better than gamefaqs! i fought the old king in 1-1 and got the demonbrandt sword and it kicks ass.

[Off-Topic / Re: careers]

that's rad. check out " be kind rewind" it's a movie about a movie rental store....maybe like my future store

[Off-Topic / careers]

what's a good career move to make in these trying times? i've been thinking about singing up for the elevator installers union.

[General Gaming / Re: demon souls]

i am addicted... however i have been playing for over 30 hrs and i'm only now fighting the spider in the tunnels area...first time around. it's like sliding down a razor blade into a pool of alchohol

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: brandish jp version]

glad i'm not the only Never Ending Radical Dude  .  do you remember getting warp magic in the first level? it's supposedly in one of the basements  (gamefaqs)

[General Gaming / demon souls]

who's playing and how do you like this game

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: brandish jp version]

for real?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / brandish jp version]

has anyone played this game? i can't seem to get the warp magic in ruins basement...thinking it's different on jp. version than the u.s.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: broken p-47 hucard]

thanks guys, i want to try replacing that lil diode on the inside of the card , i'm not sure what it is though. mainly for fun since it probably wont work anyway. has anyone played this game, is it even any good?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / broken p-47 hucard]

the game just does't work, i've cleaned it and still just get white screen. can hucards be opened and fixed?

[Off-Topic / Re: Hello Ladies of the Interwebs]

gross... it's Pat!   

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: multi tap]

yeah the pins are all level, plus the tap is new...one of them. both set of pins look good ,so do the pins on the controller. thanks

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: multi tap]

well, looked at two boards , none have anything there. anyone had problems using 6 btn func. and turbo with a duorx controller and turbo tap?

[General Gaming / Re: soldner x ps3]

still can't get to world 3...world two is pretty tough. best score was around 210.000

[General Gaming / Re: sega genesis]

nice job. i was wondering about those resistors... and how i can hook them up with this component cable mod, or if it's  needed

[General Gaming / Re: sega genesis]

nice...think it could work with an rgb modded duo?

[General Gaming / sega genesis]

i was looking at an rgb mod for this and it just neede a wire to be made with din connec. on one end, and scart on the other, av cable was thrown in ther also, it plugged into the genesis audio jack. can this be done by hooking up an rgb and av to the 8 pin din connecter and still have the same results? thanks

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: RGB to Component (YUV) converter options for TurboDuo / PC Engine]

any way to run hdmi from my ps3 to component on my tv, it's not an hdmi tv, the generic component cables i've been trying out are giving me problems

[General Gaming / Re: the Super Genintari console]

the thing is pretty badass i think...   vacuum head with the etching and fancy lights and buttons... dood... it might even be better than his nintendo in a toaster  ... seriously NO BUENO (boo-way-no)

[Off-Topic / Re: electrical engineers]

i want to begin with the 2 yr. to get out of my field and into electronics. hopefully this will make it somewhat easier to finish school, maybe get some "assistance" ,   some places do tuition reimbursement, prob not too many though. with the economy being soo shitty, pool jobs might not be around , don't know if i have 4 years .

[Off-Topic / Re: electrical engineers]

nice, i found an associate of applied science program for electrical engineering...65 credits not sure on the $$$...college of southern nevada, used to be community college...

[Off-Topic / electrical engineers]

can you get started in this field with a two year degree? or do all the decent jobs require a 4 year?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: pc engine region mod problem]

dude finally got the pce. says it works 100%...with the cd interface unit and everything...weird. says he thinks it might be the system card? that won't affect  anything right? wtf

[General Gaming / Re: the Super Genintari console]

that dude's  mcguyver for video games...is that a vacuum?   

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: RGB to Component (YUV) converter options for TurboDuo / PC Engine]

how could a hdmi to component adapter be constructed? they are just too damn expensive

[General Gaming / soldner x ps3]

i saw a trailer for this game and downloaded it from the ps store for $9.99. it's a sweet ass 2d side scroller and looks awesome.anyone who can should check it out. very challenging

[Console Repair/Mod Center / multi tap]

does anyone know if there's supposed to be a component in spot j801? it's pretty easy to spot on the board... does this affect turbo and 6 button functions if missing?  because i'm missing it and can't use these functions through the tap. thanks

[General Gaming / Re: ps2 loose disc tray]

right on, thanks  i think i have a v 2...

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PCE Duo-R D-Pad Trouble (Bad controller port?)]

yeah...that missing component is the only thing i see wrong...if someone has a turbo tap they can open, let me know if there is anything in j801... or not. thanks

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PCE Duo-R D-Pad Trouble (Bad controller port?)]

ok i looked at the board, and everything seems nice n tight...except for component j801,  i don't even know if anything is supposed to go there but it's soldered at the back of the board which makes it look so.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PCE Duo-R D-Pad Trouble (Bad controller port?)]

does it act the same way with any game or this one in particular? a poor contact on the hu card can also cause this or it is possible as well as the joystick port.might try any other controller than the one you have.these are the only ideas i have.one other thing,are you using a multi tap or single controller.my turbo tap has worn contatcts and it behaves this way until i jimmy the plugs a bit.

i just got a new sealed turbo tap and when i use it with the 6 button duo pad, the turbo buttons and 6 button function don't work... i haven't opened it yet ...compatability issue?

[General Gaming / Re: RGB vs. Composite: screencaps (14400 baud warning ;-P)]

Yeah, I really ought to do some caps from the SMS and MD just to show how shitty composite is on those systems...   

how do you get rgb out of these?

[General Gaming / Re: ps2 loose disc tray]

ooooof

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

i got a memory unit for the duo...it's black and takes 4 AA batteries. i don't even know if it works...i'm having problems using the duo rx controller with either it or the turbo tap... depending on what's hooked up first the controller won't work or the turbo buttons won't...bruce lee game is rad

[General Gaming / Re: ps2 loose disc slide]

TRAY...that's what i mean... it's all noisy when it pops out...are they easy to replace ? thanks

[General Gaming / ps2 loose disc tray]

is this an easy fix?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: pc engine region mod problem]

i actually sent  it back to the seller , he's going to replace it . when i opened up the pce the ribbon was hard like, it couldn't be opened all the way...may have been old

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

p-47 for pce but it doesn't work, white screen. maybe it's broken or cracked   ,did clean it . avenue pad 6 works good

[General Gaming / Re: New Brandish for the psp...]

That looks pretty dang good. 

anyone know how to get the warp magic in area1 / the beginning...

Are you talking about the PCE version?  I haven't picked it up yet, but you should be able to follow a faq for the SNES version.  Here's an excerpt concerning warp magic from gamefaqs:

There seems to be a secret in Area 1 where you find the Master Keys.  Once you get them, move up once and examine the floor ahead.  Look odd right?  Use a Steel Ball to show a pit.  Jump into the pit, don't walk in it and you will take yourself to the rest of Area 1's Basement, where you find the Sound Room and a Warp Magic.  The Warp Magic is a must have so find it before you leave Ruins Basement Floor or you'll regret it very much!

yeah, i'm still trying to find it....really boring though

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

^^^ Army of Darkness, Evil Dead 2, and Blade Runner. 

street fighter for pce... are there supposed to be two games in this double case?

Yes; the other side is supposed to contain a copy of Dracula X: Special Version. 

Seriously though, no.  The extra space was to provide adequate room for the hump in the HuCard and the thick(ish) manual; the same was done with Populous.  I imagine it was also for marketing purposes, since the immense awesomeness and gigantic 20mb HuCard couldn't possibly have been contained in a mere single sized case.

that dracula's soo expensive....is there a u.s version

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: pc engine region mod problem]

ebay...

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: pc engine region mod problem]

i've opened it up and DAMN...that's why i didn't want to try it myself...there's a ribbon from the bottom of the card slot going to the pcb board...see some black wiring taped together separate from this but still looks connected... how can i upload some pictures, i've had problems with size being too large

[Console Repair/Mod Center / pc engine region mod problem]

got a region modded pce withe the cd unit and the interface, us hucards work, but nothing jp works, the mod is done with a white push button and the jp games just throw up a white screen

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: soldering 101]

oh ok, i understand, i wasnt getting the surface hot enough. those videos are cool too i'm sure they'll be helpful

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: soldering 101]

hmmm... first runs kinda sloppy, was pratice...seems that the solder sticks to the tip of my iron and doesn't drip off too well, didn't really like touching the board with the iron cause i could see condensation forming on it. how should this be done? using a 25 w iron...maybe the tip is too big or not getting hot enough?
