QuoteHi Miguel,

I have a Darkwing Duck in sleeve with manual. The price is quite high, but this is a special Darkwing Turbografx. You see, this was the Darkwing that was owned by Pope Francis and has a special blessing that gives the owner confidence.

PM me if interested. Asking $299 or 5 jo crystals.

Sincerely,

Carlos
I've been looking for the pope francis one for a while ... pm incoming!!!

ya i figured you would have tried that already - it is quite possible that it is defective then
#11
i assume other cards are working okay?  its a long shot and you have most likely already done this but maybe try cleaning the contacts?  good luck

my duo r from doujindance has been fine since i got it a couple of years ago - i use the PS1 Slim power supply - never had a problem with it - I've never opened it up so I'm sure its the same or similar to everyone else's as far the brown gunk goes - guess i will find out someday - anything i get moving forward will be from this forum - i bought a very nice briefcase unit from Keith Courage here - very nice work!

does anyone know how they packed bonks adventure in with the tg 16?  was it loose?  in a case?  I'm talking about the tg 16 box that they put a green sticker on saying bonks adventure is packed in with the system.

thanks!

Quote from: albatross on 11/17/2014, 11:14 AMand how does it work exactly?
You just put the .pce's on a MicroSD card, then put the card in the Everdrive. Don't put uncompressed .zip's.
Quote from: albatross on 11/17/2014, 11:14 AMdo i need 2 sd cards for the us and jap games?
You can mix JP and US games on the same SD card.
Quote from: albatross on 11/17/2014, 11:14 AMhow big should the sd cards be?
1GB should be more than enough. It's ok to use bigger cards though.

I've sent you a PM.
thank you

Quote from: moerupolice on 11/21/2014, 07:38 PMI was thinking, because I love old hardware so much, of replacing my DUO-RX with a briefcase setup. It's just such a beautiful 80s looking piece of hardware. If the gears are replaced in the CD-ROM2, am I going to sacrifice reliability at all in switching? Is this stupid of me? I realize the DUO-RX is typically worth more money, but mine didn't cost me all that much, so I would be losing nothing.
why not just have both side by side...now that would be sweet!
#28
sorry everyone I did not know this!

thanks
#29
okay so where can i get the roms? and how does it work exactly?  do i need 2 sd cards for the us and jap games?  how big should the sd cards be?  i messaged bernie about roms but have not heard back.

thanks
#32
correction - everdrive not overdrive!
#33
i ended up picking an overdrive up in a lot locally - it has an sd card with some games loaded but i would like to load it up with everything tg and pce - is that possible?

Quote from: albatross on 10/19/2014, 03:50 PMI am interested in getting an everdrive but I have no idea how it works.  Can anyone tell me where I can find the roms and how to load them etc?

Thank you!
They're fairly easy. Bernie on here has the roms set up in a nice folder ready to go. You just load those on a mini sd card and pop that in the everdrive and you're good to go. An entire PCE and Turbob library at your disposal.
Wow that sounds amazing!  Im in for the next group order if there is one.

Thanks

did anyone get a loose copy of sapphire when they bought the repro?  the loose one i bought might be a cdr as it looks different - lighter in colour mainly - not that it matters but should i not be using it if it is a cdr?  i have always just used the loose disc and have never played the actual repro - thanks
#42
I got mine today...number 28 out of 100

Happy with my purchase...now its time to play some Sylphia!!!
#43
I've placed my order...cant wait to play these as I do not currently own any of them.
#44
I would say that this is a fair price and probably won't last long so hurry up and get it cause its too far for me!

Hey Sparky,

Have you ever looked into reproducing manuals?  I know the scans are available and they are great.  I remember speaking to the sapphire guy in the UK and he said it takes about 4 to 5 hours per page to get things right so I am assuming this would be a huge undertaking.  Anyway I was just curious.  Thanks!
