10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!
Wierd....I asked him about the Duo-R and he told me it was already gone.....Doesn't look like it. Guess you didn't want to ship to Canada.

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. |

Locally.
Lucked out pretty good. I already have one in great condition but its not very often you seem them totally complete. And for 100..thats a steal especially since I could probably sell it for 300+ But I don't plan on it.
Update: Found a Mint Marty 2...looks like i won't be looking around for one anymore.

Question. How do you pack the Saturn games? Considering they come in those fragile cases. Do you box them?

I would buy Golvellius for the Box art alone. But I'm looking for a FM Towns Marty I or II so that takes precedence.
Pretty awesome though. I also see a game based on the anime " Legend of the Galactic Heroes". Pretty cool

Yep. You do see them on Yahoo Auctions though. Problem is they are usually listed as junk. But I think what happens is that the seller just test to see if the thing turns on or not, they don't test any games and thats it.
I may have to go that route if no one is selling one on these forums.
On a side note.....
Yesterday was a pretty good day though, I bought a JVC X'eye mint and complete in original box for $100.

Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Fujitsu FM Towns Marty I or II
04/08/2010, 10:17 PM
Hi.
Looking for one of these machines. I would prefer the II model but I would also take model I.
the CD must be working and reading games with no problems. Marty's seem to pretty bad for having the laser go in them as well as the belt on the Floppy drive but I think i could fix the floppy drive.
IF you have one and are willing to part with it, let me know. As long as everything is working perfectly fine and its going for a decent price I'm extremely interested.
Thanks
Here is a pic just so people know exactly what I am looking for. This is the model I. The model II has gun metal gray finish and a yellow button.

If you were to create a thread asking for a quality scan of the insert, most likely one of the peeps here would oblige (I would myself, but I only have the linerless pack-in version).
Also...is there any way for you to make the insert of Ys I-II.
I dont really have the means to scan and print them so thats why i asked.

10/05/2009, 03:21 PMQuote from: Tommousteeth - heheAfter playing the Saturn with the converter, Shooters especially look pretty awesome. And since shooters are blocky in general considering the ships all being rectangles and triangles and squares it doesnt make it worse on a lcd. 3D games benefit as well. Shining force 3 being one.But that's only on interlaced video (and like Joe said, it's called 'combing'). PCE and other old consoles don't put out interlaced signals. And that's definitely NOT what I mean be scanlines. Scanlines for 240p on old 8/16bit consoles means every other scanline of a 480 res output is not displayed. And IMO, Saturn looks like ass too with los res blocky output - without 'scanlines'. Especially on a large set. All that old stuff gets played on a 20" SDTV because I can't as of yet figure out how to get my HD set to do said effect.
But yeah i agree when it comes to anything pixel related, its alot better to play these on sdtv's since lcds are just going to pronounce them and they will look worse.
If i still had my 27" JVC I-Art Flat Screen CRT i would be playing all these retro consoles on it, but I've moved onto LCD and i really don't have the room for a CRT. So i'm just doing what i can to get the best picture quality i can. Because i sure as hell am not going to stick with composite. S-video maybe, but not composite.
Oh and that pic you posted Joe is pretty awesome. Great demonstation of scanlines.

10/04/2009, 01:24 AMQuote from: Zeon on 10/04/2009, 12:02 AMDo you have very faint ghosty vertical bars through certain expanses of solid colored graphics? I can't tell, but it looks like you do on the ghouls and ghosts title shot pic. From what i understand this is a amplifier quality issue. All pce hardware needs color amps, due to the signal never being made external (and no internal amplification circuitry built in), and when you buy any rgb modded pce console the amp in it varies in quality from seller to seller. Right now I am using the simple transistor method, hooked directly to the red green and blue lines. It's quick and dirty, and it causes the mentioned ghosty lines. I really need to locate a good amp schematic (and get the parts for it)Ghouls N Ghosts is running from the X'eye(Wondermega 2). If they do show up(which i haven't really seen) it may be limited to a certain color. Because i had a pic i shot of the opening to snatcher where it is a complete red background and there are no ghostly vertical bars.
I would have to test all my games with this box and see...All i can say is that they is a major step up from playing these systems via composite on a LCD. Its like night and day. I'd say its even a leap from s-video. I think when i said its like playing a emulator is basically the best way to describe it.
QuoteAm I the only one that prefers old games without scanlines?I agree.I'll be honest if you have a good calibrated crt tv (hd or sd), the difference from composite to component isn't that phenomenal, but on a lcd dlp plasma etc? It's like night and day. It makes old games go from a nasty, upscaled, distorted, dot crawly, smudgy, dim colored, artifacty mess, to being sharp, crisp colored, well defined, and playable.
QuoteThere is one thing to look out for with lcd and hd displays, and that is a problem called "mouse teeth". All signals that requiring deinterlacing may suffer from it, but this is especially true of old games. Mouse teeth usually rear their ugly head in large quickly flashing graphics, and from scrolling images where there are graphics with small details. The affected area will start displaying the even and odd fields separately from two different frames rather than all at once, the end result being a look similar to this (except it may not be the entire screen that is affected):I noticed this when i was using composite on my tv...when i started using this converter i dont see it.
QuoteThe reason for this is not all hd tvs are equal on their internal upscaling and deinterlacing hardware. On a tv with high quality deinterlacing hardware, this artifacting may very rarely happen, but on tv's with cheaper internal circuitry it may happen very often. Note I say internal hardware and not model/brand, this is because many/most tv manufacturers outsource the manufacture of tvs, and not every tv of the same model has near the same quality components inside. You may have heard the term "panel lottery", this is referring to what I just described. You can go out and buy a cheapo emerson or whatever off brand tv, and luck out with a very nice lcd panel, just the same as you can buy a panasonic, sony, toshiba, samsung, whatever and your friend's TV of the exact brand and model can run circles around yours.I'm pretty happy with my tv. HD content looks fantastic and now after using this converter even these old systems look great now instead of blurry and just a pain to look at. It makes me wanna play everything all over again. Sure i can play these all on emulators but it isnt the same as owning the console and game itself.
You can buy and use (often very pricey for one of any quality) an external deinterlacing/upscaling box (you might have heard of the xrgb line of deinterlacing/ upscalers) often at the expense of an small amount of extra lag. However, because the external equipment is outputting a signal that is already an hd signal, it essentially bypasses the tv's built in hardware for accomplishing the same thing. In some cases this may mean less lag than your tv normally experiences. Check out more info on this here: http://retrogaming.hazard-city.de/

10/03/2009, 11:12 PMQuoteThough you're missing the "scanline" effect of a normal RGB monitor. That's what I hate about hooking up to HD sets. Without them, it becomes a nasty blocky mess :/Yes there is no scanline effect...But for Saturn games especially it looks fantastic.
Yes in the end it would be better over a SDTV with component inputs, but theres no way I am going back to crt now. And i can deal how LCD make pixels stand out.
I also dont stretch anything 4:3 on this set..i can set it to widescreen but i just leave it in 4:3

10/03/2009, 07:03 PMQuote from: Joe Redifer on 10/03/2009, 06:59 PM^^LOL at the imageavenue comments (and agreed). I got a pop-up for friggin' Adult Friend Finder.Ahhh so popups eh. Ok, they dont show up for me because i have a pop up blocker installed in firefox. I can probably rehost them somewhere if people are having major probs with them
Anyway, I have had bad luck with SCART switchers. Maybe it was the one I tried, but the image was much blurrier when I had the switcher connected. I decided that I'd rather plug and unplug when needed, though I have 5 SCART connectors (Genesis/Neo-Geo/SNES/Saturn/TurboGraxx-CD). Maybe I will try the one that you list.
The scart switcher i use is great. All the contacts are gold plated and its a fairly sturdy. It doesnt affect the image i am putting out. It was the same when i went direct. I'd definitely consider it.
The last RGB cable i am gonna get is for the dreamcast because DC via VGA doesnt work for me for some reason.

10/03/2009, 06:54 PMQuote from: SignOfZeta on 10/03/2009, 06:37 PMThis is pretty great info! I assume this thing uses the euro SCART pin-out, and not the JP? Your pictures look great, but I'm not so sure that means anything necessarily. What is your opinion of how much better the image looks with the component/RGB set-up versus composite on that same TV? Low-end signals looking like crap on an LCD usually has more to do with the scaling and digitizing of the signal than than the actual de-muxing of the colors.Yes, euro scart pinout.
BTW, I've never heard of imagevenue.com before, but having now gone there feel like I should reformat my hard drive and burn all my clothing. If I were you I certainly wouldn't want to host any images there if you needed to share them for professional/family reasons.
Theres no comparison between this and Composite. This blows composite out of the water. Theres no color bleeding at all. Everything is sharp and extremely detailed. Colors are nice and bright and not washed out.
The only comparison i can give is playing these games on MagicEngine or Gens or SSF with no filter applied on a LCD tv/Monitor. Thats basically the picture quality.
A CRT would look a lil better via composite but it would still be a joke comparing it to this converter.
I'll do a pic comparison between Ghouls N Ghosts via Composite vs Component Converter in a lil while.
Not sure what to say about the imghost i chose. Everything works fine for me. Must be something on your end.

Hi.
This will be a pretty long post, but I hope you will read it all.
So a few weeks ago i decided to get me one of these. It was selling from "Specialty-AV" on ebay for 44.95 BIN. I choose "Best offer" and got it for $40.00 + 7-8 Shipping here to Canada.
Here is selling link:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-SCART-RGB-to-YUV-Component-Video-Converter-Scaler_W0QQitemZ220486846073QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item33560a4679&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
As you can see from the auction that the power supply that they include is a european model. So i went out and purchased the perfect DC adapter here.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Sprint-12V-DC-300mA-AC-Adapter-Power-Supply-12VDC_W0QQitemZ300335008388QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item45ed5c8a84&_trksid=p4634.m351.l1262
Then after I aquired these 2 items, next was to get myself some Scart RGB cables. I have a Sega Saturn, RGb Duo-r and a JVC X'eye, all well output a rgb signal. So i found "Pcenginesales" on ebay and bought a Genesis 2 rgb cable as it has the multi AV din that the X'eye / Genesis 2 supports. I am sure everybody here knows about Rachel so I don't think i have to say too much about how friendly and awesome her products are. Top notch stuff.
So...
I already had a rgb cable when I bought the Duo-r so I was set there...The problem was finding a great quality Sega Saturn cable...
The problem with rgb saturn cables is that...the majority of them sold (ebay, Play-asia) are basically...Garbage.
either they are made cheaply and they don't sync properly which means your image is constantly going in and out or they are not rgb at all and are just composite or both.
So i remembered a seller by the name of "choaticjelly" that I have seen on some forums. He makes customs cables as well as provides modding services(region, led, etc) So i contacted him and he sold me an extra rgb saturn cable he uses for testing his machines. for about $20US shipped. I received it in 6 Business days.(fast)
http://www.chaoticjellygames.co.uk/
So I have all the cables, but I dont have a way of getting audio from the RGB because the Component box does not output the audio. I could have modded the converter box for audio but I don't and do not the soldering equipment available. And since i have more than 1 RGB cable i don't feel like plugging and unplugging them everytime I want to play a different system.
So my option? Well a Scart RGB Selector with RCA audio out connectors!
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Professional-Scart-cable-switch-box-Quality-1-4-way_W0QQitemZ350108542008QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ConsumerElectronics_VideoSwitches_SM?hash=item5184186438&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
This item is PERFECT! And allows 4 RGB cables to be connected and by pushing the buttons on the side that determines which system selected will output. But it also outputs the audio from the RGB if your tv does not support a scart connector.
So I am all set. I decided to test the unit out. Everything was tested on my 40" 1080P Samsung LCD.
Here are the results. My tv tells me that these games are running @ 720x240P.
Games tested:
Batsugun(SS), Ghouls N' Ghosts(GEN), Psychic Assassin Taromaru(SS), Snatcher(PCECD)
Ghouls N Ghosts:

mg32/1257/97357img0010122131lo.jpg
mg44/9735/img0067v.jpg
They even look better than these screen shots due to the fact i have not fully figured out everything about the camera I am using.
One thing to note...and this may not happen to everybody, but when i first used the converter with the Duo-R and the X'eye the image would not stay still. It would almost constantly vibrate and be jittery. Eventually it would pretty much calm completely down but there would be some jittering here and there.
It wasn't until I tested my saturn out that it fixed it completely. When i turn on my saturn i would get the jittering. But as soon as a game loaded up my Tv would do a resolution switch and everything would be perfect. By turning off the saturn and then switching over to the Duo-R or X'Eye it would be perfect as well.
Gotta love the Saturn
Anyways, to sum it all up. This converter is fantastic and worth every penny. Its awesome just how good these systems actually look with the right cables. I'm playing on my LCD but I can just imagine how nice these would look on a CRT tv with component inputs....
If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will answer them as best as i can.

08/30/2009, 11:19 AMQuote from: override on 08/28/2009, 11:57 PMI got this in the mail the other day and have not posted a pic yet, but here it is! If it were sealed I would crap my pants, but this is what I consider the Pinnacle of my NES games collection! This was my favorite game to play as a kid and I'd say atleast once a year I have beaten it through emulation, after it left my hands long ago.Awesome pick up. This is one of my Fav games on the Nes...I love the Japanese name. "God Slayer"
I finally got the best Minty Complete in Box one I think I have ever seen, especially being that I went through buying and returning three of them before I got this one!
Also I was very iminant to the ebay seller (pokdragonsden) to pack this in a box and explained to him the 3 past failed attempts for me to get it in minty shape. When I got the game I laughed my ass off, it was under a pount of bubblewrap in a box that could fit an original XBOX!
Now for the masterpeice!

anyways this is what I picked up today....Finally.

Yeah this is great.
I have the Saturn Collector Edition but haven't played it because i knew this was coming out.
I have no CD-r's at the moment so i am playing this on ePSXe 1.70...with mouse..Its pretty awesome.
The amount of text in this game is mind boggling.

Hey.
Yep got it.
Its going to be interesting to see if he can make it work. I hope it works.
I'm gonna hold off on any of the boxes for now and see what override can do. If its not possible than I will end up picking up the component 1 probably.
Thanks for all the info btw.

Hey.
Ok i see what your saying..and i think i did see that pic before...you used a LR rca cable, cut it up and then soldered the RL+ ground to Pins inside the box and that gave you audio.
It does not look that difficult but I have not soldered before so i'd kinda be scared to fuck something up. But it almost looks kinda fool proof..and a good thing to start on if your new to soldering.
Now from what I have learned from Override. I think I am not mistaken.
He plans to take 1 RGB scart cable. Hack the ends off of each side. The side that would go into the duo-r will have the 8Pin din. the side with the 21 pin connector would be connected and wired properly to a 5 head component cable that you can find for Ps2/Ps3 which would do the video and audio.
I believe he says the conversion can take place inside the cable.
Basically I just said..
"hey if you can get 1 made and it works and does the job of the box and its in 1 cable i'll glady buy 1"
Edit: Duo...Say I ended up buying one of those boxes...Do you think it would be better to go the component box or the HDMI box, audio aside?

Hi.
I'm confused now....
I think override said he is going to take a component cable like that of the PS2 and then splice it up and connect it too a RGB scart cable that has an 8pin din head that would plug into the duo-r RGB port and then its all good.
Your saying I still need the converter box? I thought that having the amp inside the duo-r and having the cable correctly wired would allow it to pass the rgb signal through the cable into the component input of the tv.
Damn this is confusing....
The only surefire method I know that works is...
1. Use scart rgb cable that i posted above.
2. connect that cable to the scart input on the converter box.
3. Take component cables and connect them to the out of the converter box and then into the Tv and Viola!
Conversion is done inside the converter box
4. To get sound you would need to modifiy the exsisting RGB Scart at the 21 pin connector and add RCA audio jacks coming out of it so you can have audio. This is what pcenginesales told me she could do.
Here. I will post that video about the converter box I mentioned.

Hi. Yes i did buy from him.
Great. So all i need is override to make the cable and I am set?
I also mentioned that he should look into making Genesis 1/2 rgb to component cables and Also doing it for the Sega Saturn. Since they all output rgb natively and don't require modification.
I would also buy cables for the Sega Saturn and Genesis 2 if he could make them.

Cool.
Override messaged me about the situation concerning the cables and such and I see what exactly he is trying to do. I am going to confirm 100% with the seller if he did ad the amp when doing the rgb mod.
Thanks again.

Yes i believe it does have the amp inside.
As of the moment I am going composite to my tv and I'm pretty sure that it would end up being a pretty big step up in picture quality if I went RGB out and then into the tv through 1 of those boxes.
I seen a video of a dude on youtube sending a RGB output out of his Sega CDX to that component box and then into his LCD and it looked really nice.
Its too bad there isn't that much pictures for comparisons sake floating around that i could take a look at. Well I haven't been able to find that much anyways.

Hi.
Hmmm well I'm still thinking about what I am gonna do...I would love to see a finished product up and running
These are pics from my machine btw.
So first you would need a cable like this.
http://homepage3.nifty.com/moremaco/pcescart.JPG
Then you would need 1 end to be 8 Pin Din to connet into the RGB modded Duo-r
http://homepage3.nifty.com/moremaco/pceoutput.JPG
Then you would cut the 21 pin head off the cable and wire NTSC Component + L&R audio on the other end so it could connect to the TV right?
And the cable itself would do the conversion and there would be no need for the converter box?
I'd be interested if you think you could do it and you think it would work and get the same results as the box.

08/25/2009, 01:17 PMQuote from: override on 08/25/2009, 11:49 AMYou could always say screw the converter and build your own cable cheap!Thats a cool idea, but i don't think I have the know how to do that kinda work.
A direct RGB,L,R cable to the din should work...You can get the cables off ebay for about $8 to cut up and make what you want with em!
Now pcenginesales has the know how about cables...I never thought to ask if she could make a 8pin rgb+lr to LR+component cable.

Hi.
Thanks for the info....
I just can't make a decision...This is based on having a 40" LCD tv that has both connectors.
Do i go with the RGB to Component Converter listed here. And have "pcenginesales" make me some custom RGB cables that have LR audio coming out of the cable at the connector. She mentioned she could do this.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220333416073&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
or...
Do i go with the RGB to HDMI converter....This will also output audio and output to 720P. So i would not need any custom cable.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220459190446&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I've seen video of a Sega CDX hooked up to the component converter and it looked really nice(this is a video on youtube mind you)on the dude's lcd...So i know that works.
Decisions, decisions...
I wish I had some feedback on the hdmi 1 though as it would be easier and I have a free hdmi slot open on my tv still

Well the whole reason I even thought about that converter box was because the person who sold me the Duo-r linked to the seller on ebay for people that bought his console's and lived in NA could get in on the goodness.
I never thought about the Saturn, Genesis II, etc.
I have a Saturn and i only thought about picking up a S-video for it. But when i heard that the Saturn and the Genesis 2 can output RGB I got really interested. I then began thinking about how my X'Eye has the 9 Pin Multi Out that the Genesis 2 has, but I'm not sure if they removed the trace in any way because they did remove the actual S-video output that the JP Wondermega 2 had when they released the X'Eye in NA....If the system has the 9 pin din does that automatically mean it can do RGB?
If i would have known that the possibility of getting RGB out of the X'eye was just a scart cable away then i probably wouldn't have had sent it away for an S-video mod. I did however just finish sending an email to the dude doing it telling him to do a lil test if he can and see if the X'Eye will actually output RGB.
You mention you have the box that i was thinking of buying....Do you have it hooked to an LCD tv? Is it almost Night and Day from Composite or S-video. Do you have any comparison pics or any pics of it running? I'd really like to know.
Thanks

I guess the only way to really know for sure is if I just bite the bullet and buy the required cables and converter.
The RGB for the Genesis was kind of an afterthought though cause my real reason for purchasing the converter was for my RGB Duo-R

General Gaming / Does a Model II Genesis output RGB without Modification?
08/19/2009, 11:46 AM
Hi.
So I ask about the model II because I have a JVC X'Eye and from what I have gathered, the Genesis part of the system is based on the Model II.
Now, I've also heard that a model II will output RGB. My X'Eye has both RCA out connectors and also the 9pin Din of the Genesis II. Could you buy a megadrive II scart cable from here.
http://www.retro-accessories.co.uk/ourshop/prod_346443-Megadrive-2Genesis-2Nomad32XSega-Pico-RGB-SCART-cable.html
And have it go into this
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220333416073&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
And do you think it would work?
At the moment my X'eye is off to a friend to have it S-Video modded. I did this without knowing about RGB out from the Genesis II.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
