[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PC engine Duo-RX plays hu-cards but get either pink, green or cyan screen for CD]

You are wrong. The OP has not tested with a System Card.

If the door switch is open, it will say "please close". If it thinks it is closed, the light will flash as it attempts to read. As it is now, the CD part simply seems unresponsive. My guess is that the OP has the same issue.

System Cards will always start, even on a first gen PC Engine with no CD ROM attachment. But they will get stuck at the "please wait" screen.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: My hori fight commander pad's up button doesn't work any more, any suggestions?]

I have two PCE third party controllers ("blaster") with broken cables.

Check for continuity on every wire on the cable. It seems to break right where the cable leaves the controller.

I came to the forum because I have the same problem.

It doesn't work with system cards either. It just says "Please wait" with a system card but nothing happens. It can't even detect if the lid is closed. Can you give a link to the other thread about this?

Are there any chips that could case the problem that we know? It is in pretty good condition otherwise. Since this is now the third unit with the same problem, maybe there is some common solution.

It seems pretty certain it will be sent to a buyer from Germany.
Maybe I should make an auction if I ever get another one.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: PI-AD18 adapter]

Here you go.

Also, I already got an offer.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: PI-AD18 adapter]

I got this adapter recently, the Super CD-ROM to LT connector thing. If anyone is interested it is for sale.
It will probably be permanently for sale until someone buys it because I have no use for it, and I don't know anyone else.
Can provide pictures on request.
Thinking 80$.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Pc Engine GT with 9V PSU]

Since the batteries are total 9V, is there a technical reason why a 9 Volt PSU should be bad?

Ok, Thanks.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / NEC IFU Power supply]

hi,
I have the NEC "Inter Face Unit" that requires a DC 9V 1450 mA power supply, center negative.
The IFU works well with just 1000 mA 9V if I don't use the CD, and that should not be a surprise.
But I assume the CD, that is currently broken, requires more juice.
Anyone knows how much ampere that is essential, or if I can run it with center-positive polarity?
It is a bit difficult to find the required power supply.
I know a can change polarity myself of the PSU, but that may not be appropriate in case I should sell it.
