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. |

Please let me know who are the guys I can work with here to have my sound problem fixed. I believe Nat is one, if I'm not mistaken.
Also, is this sound issue only affecting CD games or all games?

Quote from: nat on 04/12/2011, 11:12 PMYes, your Duo definitely needs a full capacitor job and a logic board wash.How much would this type of repair cost me? I've heard that you are one of the guys who can do this type of work on this forum. I'm debating whether it is worth it to keep it or send it back for refund.

No, all of my PCE CD games are the original JP versions.
Ok, I just tried my Duo again tonight, and could play Dracula X, but noticed the missing voice samples. Tried Ys IV next and the same thing occurred as last night - no voices and the game froze/locked up after the initial scene on the ship.
Today, a new problem developed...The left channel seems to be very low in volume. And whenever there is no audio (eg, during loading), I can hear some scratching noise like playing vinyls on the right channel. So maybe this is the caps causing the problem afterall.
Therefore, I would like to know the fix for this problem and if there is someone on this forum that is experienced at this type of repair. I would not mind paying for the repair as long as the job is well done and I can trust the person, and if it does not cost too much.
Any help will be appreciated.

Console Repair/Mod Center / PC-Engine Duo problem - sound and loading
04/12/2011, 09:01 AM
I am hoping that someone can help me out. I just bought a second hand PC-Engine Duo console from Japan and everything looks in great condition. However, I am having some trouble playing CD games; I don't have any HuCard games at this time. I have come across a few issues with my Duo.
1. Missing sound effects. Played Gate of Thunder and Nexzr. CD music plays fine. Volume and balance is fine. But some of the sound effects are missing, such as the explosion sound of my ship in Gate. Similar issue in Nexzr, when some of the enemies explode without sound.
2. Missing voices. For example, in Ys IV, when the game begins, there is dialogue that is spoken between some characters on the ship. I can see the mouths move but there is no audio at all. I can tell because in emulation I can hear the voices and music, and they are sound chip generated.
3. Games locked up. Happened on both Ys IV and Dracula X. I believe it has to do with the lack of chip generated sound before data is loaded, so in both games, the system just spun the discs and the screen remained black.
All of my games are working fine on Magic Engine, and do not have any scratches or dirt. So that rules out the discs themselves. The CD drive is working fine. I don't know what could be the issue here, so any help will be appreciated.

Yes, the one I was referring to is Magic System v3. So after I have downloaded the original PCE System Card v3 bios, where should I place that file so that Magic Engine will read it? I have a folder for ME that has all the unzipped files and folders.

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Crest of Wolf crashing Magic Engine emulator
05/02/2006, 11:26 AM
I have recently purchased Crest of Wolf (original game) for use on Magic Engine but every time I boot up the game, the emulator crashes. I tried to boot the game using Hu-Go to see if the disc was defective but it is in perfect condition and Hu-Go can play it but I do not hear any sound effects (seems the BGM is played at a very high volume). Has anyone experienced what I have with Crest of Wolf for PCE and can tell me what I can do to fix the problem I have with using Magic Engine to play it?
