Just thought i would ask again my duo is missing the plastic cd tray cover, the one that goes around the cd unit as in the attachment.

If someone has a dead duo or some spare parts i would be willing to buy this part of you.

Well I've been reading a few pc engine articles lately, and have the evolution of the pc engine to read from retro gamer issue 111 and just thought i would share this with you.
 
i wrote this a few months ago for a retro site, i aint no writer and in faked dyslectic, but have a read and see what you think.

hello everyone i have recently been playing the ys games and are wondering what people think of them. i have just played through Ys 1 and 2 again and after like 15 years i still really enjoyed playing then fun to play, so i thought i would try some of the other games and see if they were up to the quality of 1 and 2 so here we go.

Ys 3 i gave it a go mmm not liking it scrolling is a bit crap plays ok but just doesn't have sparkle that 1 and 2 have so should i moved on or stick with it.

Ys 4 got my self a translated copy put it in the duo first thoughts ohhh this looks nice a bit improvement on the first too, so proceeded to play enjoyable good music plays like the first game seems good fun, so i have played it for about 10 maybe 12 hours just got past the stone\ice guardian the one where you have to hit the guy in ice spinning around pain in the arse had to do some serious grinding to get past him. its a good game but seems a bit lacking something can put my finger on it and i still think 1 and 2 are better, properly just me as from what i can see everyone loves it so i am i just missing something and should i stick with it ?.

Ys 5 haven't played.

Ys 6 only played it briefly looks good i got the pc version installed and ready to when i got time.

Ys 7 havent played it i hered its been released on pc so hope there is a translation at some point.

Ys origin just played through it have to say i loved it plays realy well cool guardians nice graphics and there a really good translation for it.

Ys The Oath in Felghana remakee of 3 i believe i have this on my pc haven't got around to playing it much but it looks really nice.

Ys Memories of Celceta vita havent played as i dont own a vita but looks pretty dame good i want to play it.

Ys Strategy ds havent seen or played it so is it worth getting i do have a ds.

Ys Chronicles Plus I and 2 remakes of the first 2 ys games and a re branding and touch up on the first released Ys chronicles for pc, both games look very nice and have just been put on steam translated i got them installed and plan to play through both.

I know there is a few other games don't know much about them or is they have been translated here is the list.

Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of Sand Ps2

Ys vs. Sora no Kiseki: Alternative Saga Psp

Ys IV: Mask of the Sun - A New Theory Ps2

Ys IV: Mask of the Sun Super famicom

Ys V: Ushinawareta Suna no Miyako Kefin Super famicom

Ys online

Thew that was a big list, so have any of you played some of the games what ones do you think are best, whats been translated, are the pc engine\tg 16 games still considered the best  and any recommendation on what ones i should play.

I know a lot of these games are not on the engine but that where it started for me my love of Ys games tho thinking about it i played 1 on the master system first, but it was the tg16 version that got me hooked as i must of played through 1 and 2 like 15 times so would be cool to here your opinions on the Ys series.

P.S i know it started on the PC-8801 but i don't live in japan or understand moon language i should try and learn.

Console Repair/Mod Center / RGB amp
08/26/2012, 09:53 AM
just a bit of info for anyone thinking of doing a RGB mod and needs a amp, the simple transistor amp that mmmonke has up on his site here

mmmonkey.co.uk/pc-engine-rgb-amp/
wayback://mmmonkey.co.uk/console/pce/amp.htm

works a charm and fits nicely into a scart lead done this on a pc engine duo\tg16\and a pc engine duo-r works perfect and its cost about 30p to do and would fit nicely into the console as it so small.

just if someone has one from a broken duo and was will to pass it on it would be much appreciated i will pay all postage or if you give me a price for one.

just done a full recap, changed the cd lens and done a rgb mod the only thing is missing is the cover  :cry:

few questions
are they any good as i looking to play on my monitor via HDMI.
looking for something that will work with pretty much most retro consoles.
any suggestions on what i should be looking at.
any problems that can happen.

i have seen some on ebay for around the £32 mark that will upscal to 1080p am i wasting my time with one of them and saving for a xrgb is what i should be doing ? the price really puts me off.

here are some of the ones i have found

Well a am interested to see if there is any welsh pc engine owners out as over the years I have only ever known of 4 people that have owned a pc engine and over the years they have become a dying breed, I think I have become a ethnic minority where pc engine is concerned.

So if there is any of you out there let us know I am just outside of Cardiff in Caerphilly be cool if there is anyone else in the area.

hello im have been revisiting the valis games and found that valis 4 wont load next cutscenes after the boss on level 1 on my duo-r with and without the arcade card but works fine on my turbografx 16 cd with system card 2.0. I have herd of some cd games needing certain system cards to work altered best being one of them.

So just wondering if there is more of them or if any of you on here have had similar problems ?.
Can you just use a older system card and they will play fine ?

P.S i realy cant beleave how cheesy the voice overs are on the us version of valis 3 i had only played the jap one i maybe wrong the jap voice overs cant be that cheesy if only i could understand Japanese.
