[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Big OBEY in little Sweden]

There is this game exhibition called "GAME ON 2.0" that Tekniska Museet (The Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology - lol, long name?!) is running at the moment. I went on the first day with a couple of friends - and it was pretty cool.

However, for true believers there were some nice OBEY to be found. which I think might be interesting for you guys.

The PC that was shown and running R-type sadly had a borked D-pad  On the other hand, Magical Chase was not only present but fully playable 

Edit: MC ran on a separate (and hidden) unit with a much better controller.

Unsure which version of the game it was but it was pretty fun - though I only made it to stage 2.

Sorry for the crappy gameplay photos, the hall with the games was really cramped. 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / [Ended!] RAFFLE: Let me doodle that for you]

Stealing Nando's idea for a bit  

I haven't drawn as much as I used to lately. Maybe because I'm distracted by other things or simply because I'm lazy, which is an actual fact. So in order to force myself, and hopefully entertain you awesome folks, I'll take a simple PCE related request  

I'll let this run for a week or so, so maybe the results will be in next friday or saturday.
__________________________________________________________
Rules & conditions etc etc etc etc etc:

*) I'd like to keep this simple. If too much or too advanced I know I might just shy away. And that would mean no doodle for you  
* ) If you win, please post either here or PM me some reference and maybe a bit of description.
    Must be PCE related. However, if unsure what you want you may think about it a week or so.
*) I'll run this raffle regardless of amount of people entering
*) It'll probably take some time for me get it done. I get weirdly stressed out by requests.
*) What can I wish for?
     - Anything PCE related. Like "I want that dude from China warrior" or "The AV port on the Duo gives me the weirdest boner" or "Draw me one of the PCE
       library's wonderful ladies!" or whatever like that.
*) Since it's a doodle, it might not look the greatest but I'll try

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Artifacts and scanlines...]

Hi, new user here (should I go somewhere else to introduce myself, perhaps?)

I recently acquired a Duo-R, and it reads CDs and HuCards just fine. Audio is no problem either.
However, I've noticed weird occurrences of what to me seems like interlaced sprite layers which becomes "solid" or non-interlaced at certain times, as well as strange....artifacts, which probably might be a problem with my LCD TV. But it's weird, none the less.

My library of games is still very small (just 3, ATM) but the only game I have in which these things occur is Galaxy Fraulein Yuna 2. 

Examples of interlacing:





In the last pic, the eyes have suddenly turned solid and these things seems to happen at the end of cutscenes etc.
I tried the game with the trial for Magic Engine and none of these interlacing effects are visible. Now, how accurate this emulator is, I don't know.

Examples of artefacts:



The blue-ish one is how it looked like on my CRT tube and the green-ish one is how it looked on my LCD (no, it's not actually that green, rest assured).
I know that old games just runs better on old TVs but I like having every system connected to one TV, the old one stands in a corner because of space issues.

I have opened up the system once because of another little thing (nothing too serious, just a bit of loose plastic) and I couldn't see anything wrong with caps and the like. So, is this a "real problem" or is it normal?  Game runs fine otherwise, just beaten it, but it is distracting.
