Upgrading to the new 2022 2.1 SMF core (years in WIP)! Mobile/Phone support by default, finally! I must port all my custom features and redo the theme however, but worth the trouble! I may still look at XenForo too.

Wow, you all are right. Thanks for going the extra mile with the pictures, it is much appreciated! I would have thought the white would have a yellowish hue, and that's what threw me off. Darn sunfade

Thanks again,

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Splash Lake Spine Color
July 02, 2017, 02:34:07 PM
Hey guys, I just got a double of Splash Lake in a lot, and comparing to my other copy I noticed 1 side of the spine is blue instead of the normal green, any reason why? Everything else about the game is the same, and there does not appear to be any sun fade. I do not own a ton of CD Rom 2 games but I've never saw the blue on any before.

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo games the US/Euro versions is needed
June 29, 2016, 05:46:57 PM
Quote from: wildfruit on June 29, 2016, 04:59:08 PMWell for the CD games if you must be legit & own the original, buy the JP games and burn the English version. Is Loom really worth it? You can get that for any number of systems in English. Dungeon explorer HuCard should be cheap enough in English. The others I don't really pay attention to prices of but a turbo ever drive should solve all your problems.
Some of these I just put in the list for the sake of completion. For instance I'm not going to buy Magical Dinosaur Tour, and Loom unless I find it cheap and some of the others on the list I already own (Ys, CF2, Dungeon Explorer, etc.) I do also plan on getting an ever drive, so any hucards I won't buy unless I find a really good deal (though I wish I bought Neutopia back when.) I only put price in as a factor unless the PC Engine version is super expensive and the Turbo isn't, I am more interested in what games the Japanese version is not playable to the English speaker, so importing wouldn't be an option on the cd games and the everdrive rom would better served being the Turbo version. Hope that clears things up on my original post.

Also thanks for clarifying the region thing

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Turbo games where the US version is preferred
June 29, 2016, 11:54:34 AM
Hey everyone, I'm looking over the Turbo/PC Engine library and trying to decide which version of some games to get. For most I want the PC Engine version of due to price difference, but some games I would like the domestic version of due to text/playability (game not being English friendly), game play changes, or even cost. I have come up with a list of the games I am thinking the Us/ version is needed/preferred. Some of these I don't own so I haven't played them, please let me know of any additions or subtractions. Thank you!

Cosmic Fantasy 2
Double Dungeons
Dragon Slayer
Dungeon Explorer
Dungeon Explorer 2
Dungeon Master
Exile
Exile: Wicked Phenomenon
JB Harold Murder Club
Loom
Lords of the Rising Sun
Magical Dinosaur Tour
Might and Magic III
Military Madness

I really did not need to see this thread, as I've been trying to convince myself not to get this. I really want to play this, but I don't have time really, and I don't want to buy another system at this point. I've logged so many hours into the GC and DS versions. I definitely plan on buying a 3DS for this in the future when the system goes down in price.

General Gaming / Re: Dreamcast
July 25, 2013, 04:55:38 PM
I received a Dreamcast as a birthday present right when GameStop/EB was clearing them out after the merger. At that point, all that was left was mostly disk only  games, but I did manage to find some good stuff, both Power Stones, Marvel vs. Capcom, Last Blade 2, and some others. I really wanted Marvel vs. Capcom 2 but never found a copy. A couple others that I played often were Frogger 2, Wacky Races, and Tennis 2K2. Even the Sega football and basketball games were really good.

I've never really hunted for the system, but I do have a little over 30 games for it. I did find a Black Sega Sports model at a flea market once, which is pretty cool to have. I have not played the system in years however, but I loved it when I first got it.

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )
June 01, 2013, 09:36:52 AM
I'm looking on ebay at prices for games that I'd like to have the English versions of (RPG's mostly) and it's pretty disheartening. I knew some were awful (Dungeon Explorer 2) but I had no idea some of these were so high (Beyond Shadowgate, Might & Magic III, Exile 2) I guess supply just does not meet demand on these. Price does seem excessive though.

I'm surprised there isn't already a thread on this game (there might be and I just couldn't find it.) Any who:

I had the itch to play a shooter this eventing so I broke out the Duo and really sat down and played this for the first time. Man is it awesome. I really like the ability to change direction of the shot and how valuable it is to your progression in the game. I didn't get very far but the levels seem nice and the music is ace. I'll be playing this one some more for sure.

What does everyone else think of this one?

Also- after I find one of those I'd like a copy of Sapphire, I know a bunch of you guys have extra's of the high quality bootlegs around here too, if anyone has an extra they'd be willing to give up let me know.

Haha, well one step at a time I suppose.

Quote from: ccovell on November 20, 2012, 08:14:39 PMA great collection!  Unfortunately, you won't be able to play Art of Fighting until you get an Arcade Card Duo...

One other odd thing I noticed, Eternal City's cover art has it spelled "ETRNAL CITY".  :D
Yea, an Arcade Card Duo will be one of my next purchases, I really wanna try on that version of Art of Fighting, plus all the other games that support it.

Thanks for the welcomes again everyone. Also another thing I have to say- even though many of the cover artworks I've saw online, it just looks so awesome in person, it's too bad the TG-16 had such generic artwork, because these are some of the best I've ever laid eyes upon. Makes the anticipation of playing the game even stronger.

Quote from: bartre on November 09, 2012, 10:11:30 PMyeah, it works similarly to ebay, stores are set up, and just sell through rakuten.
at least that's my understanding.
It's also similar to Amazon, in the same sense.
Rakuten itself doesn't sell you stuff - they just keep track on your points and account information. There are a number of different stores which focus on different things like, clothing, music & movies, gaming & anime/manga and so on so forth.
You CAN find things for very cheap, but keep in mind that these deals might very well get nullified by the shipping costs. I've only done business with a store called Suruagaya and while they ship international, they use EMS and you won't know the final sum (including shipping) until they've calculated everything out and sent you a mail asking for your purchase confirmation.

So, using the EMS price chart and keeping en eye on how much a number of CDs/jewelcases and so on weighs will help in understanding what the shipping costs will be like. Of course, once you start adding books & posters etc it becomes rather impossible. Packaging also weighs a bit and you don't know how much bubblewrap they will use (everything has been very well packaged though). I've taken notes a few times when doing business with them and depending on what I bought the packaging weighed from 400g - 1000g. The last one was a shipment of 8 LDs so they packaged that shit pretty tight.
From my notes (which might not be totally correct) 1 CD in it's case (music or game) is about 120-130g while 1 LD can range from 360g to 515g depending on what exactly is in there. Insert sheets, bonus material and so on.

Still, I've found some really cool thing there. Game systems tend to be expensive but some games, books, posters, music and laserdiscs can be had for a steal.
I've been thinking of buying a bunch of games from the Suruagaya store, prices are great. How's the condition? Are the games complete or loose?

Buy/Sell/Trade / SOLD: TG-16 with rf issues $20+ship
March 06, 2012, 06:36:25 PM
I almost sold this thing awhile back but decided to keep it. Now I need some extra cash and some space as well. System works but has picture issues through rf where the colors are not correct. The system is still playable like this, as I played it until I got another TG-16 in a trade.  Some pictures talking about it and pictures of it in action in this thread: https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=9686.msg170321#msg170321

It seems like it would be a pretty easy fix, or could be solved but using a Turbo booster. Included is the system, controller, and off brand ac.

Small little update, a collector I know who is scaling back decided to sell me his TG-16 and games so I went ahead a bought it. Here's how the picture is looking on it:

Goes to show the the other Turbo had something wrong internally. I tried the old one with the new one's cables and still got bad picture.

Not sure what I'll do with the other Turbo (if someone wants to buy/trade for it to fix it up let me know) but I'm happy I finally got a working system.

Got my first TG-16 in the mail today. I took a chance a bought one off ebay cheap(seller said he never tested it.) The system works, but I can't get a good picture. The system came with TV Sports Basketball, here's a couple pictures of how it looks.

IMG
IMG
IMG

To make sure it wasn't the game I went ahead and tried a copy of Military Madness that I had already.

IMG

The pictures actually adds more color to the pictures, its actually darker in person. I thought it could be the rf but I tried a NES rf and the picture just rolled. And if it makes any difference I'm using a Model 1 Genesis power supply because the system came with some panasonic adapter I didn't trust using.

Anyone have any suggestions?
