If you are comparing the basic flip-up design, then yes they are similar but that is where the similarities end.

Please post this in the correct forum.  Dracula X is NOT on the PC-FX, but on the PC Engine.  Moved topic.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Welcome to the PCE/SuperGrafx General Discussion forum-RULES (updated 3/27/08)]

Welcome to the PCE/SuperGrafx General Discussion area of the pcengine-fx.com forums.  Feel free to talk about JPN NEC PC-Engine/SuperGrafx systems and games however you MUST follow these rules:

The Pcenginefx NEC Console Community Forums is a place to hold civil discussions about the NEC line of video game consoles. Heated debates on the forums are welcome, as long as they abide by the established guidelines (listed below).

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Question about a sealed Cotton]

Hi alonzomourning23,

You can try to sell it at $70, but IMO it's not worth that much, even unopened.  Go ahead and try it, and if it doesn't sell, then you priced it too high. (maybe have it start at $50, and have your reserve at $70 or so)

Hmm....that's a bad sign.  If nothing happens when you press RUN and the light comes on, then it looks like the motor that spins the CD is broken (in other words, you probably have to get a replacement DUO.)

Hi Calier,

I do not believe you can use the TG-CD with the PC Engine (at least I've not heard of anyone trying it.)  Even so, I would not pay the money to find out...better to stick with PC Engine CD units for PC Engine systems.

EDIT:  It has been verified that the PC Engine CD unit IS compatible with the TG-CD unit.  It's the exact same unit, except for the color...so yes the TG-CD unit will work with the PC Engine.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: I want to make PCE game.]

Hi hyuri0011,

PC Engine games are very hard to make for the average user.  I think the #1 reason is that there isn't a big development community out there for the Turbo/PCE.  There are less than 10 people that I know of that actually know how to code for the TG/PCE, so that right there should tell you how bad it is.  There is a huge lack of online documentation on how to program for the Turbo/PCE so anyone who wants to learn can't without contacting someone how knows.

The Develo CD is a good tool, but if you don't know how to read Japanese, you are pretty much out of luck.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: re]

Wow....guess they really never "cleaned up" themselves at all (just the customers)...well forget what I said then

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Buyrite.com rant]

I haven't heard anything about them recently, but I thought they were good to buy from (at least in the past few years.)  Back a few years ago, I think they were under different management or had different staff...needless to say, anyone who bought from them was asking for trouble (a huge story behind that.)  But one day they cleaned up their act and people started buying from them again with no problems.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: oops sorry... 3 times, damn pc went wrong....please rep]

Hi,

This isn't a super-active board, so don't expect instant replies.

Anyway, the problem you are experiencing is not common - I've not had this problem with my TE at all.  Maybe you just got a few bad TE/GT's....could be the speaker or the volume control...I'd try different games and batteries just to make sure too.

Hi caldwellpa,

Thanks for the post.  You don't need a 3.0 card to play SCD games on the Turboduo...it has it already built into the unit.

As for great SCD games, well my personal favorites are Gate of Thunder, Lords of Thunder, Dungeon Explorer II, Dragon Slayer, Shadow of the Beast & Cotton to name a few...

Hi kempobot,

Yes you can use the JPN Super System Cards in a USA Turbo, HOWEVER, if you want to play Super CDs on your TurboGrafx+CD, you MUST have the Super System Card v3.0 and a JPN-to-USA HuCard converter.

I've already been in contact with Bt about why MindRec.com has been down. He said that the site has been going through some server upgrades, and thus the reason for the downtime. However, he said that it would be down for a short time...I just checked mindrec.com and it is still down (going on 3 weeks now?). If you are looking to purchase IMPLODE, you can still get it (I believe) from Turbo Zone Direct @ www.tzd.com.

Hi Xylob,

You can talk about mostly anything here, but talk about roms and such are not generally accepted (as in, posting links to roms/isos).

As for a good emu, the best one is of course the Magic Engine @ www.magicengine.com.

Neo Nectaris was a JPN only release on the PC Engine...however I thought that the PS version of Nectaris was the port from Neo Nectaris...?

2) No official release date is set..however last I heard it was sometime in July.

3) Yes, I believe 2 or 3 other games will be on the CD.

4) Metal Slug 1 AES JPN version.  Currently at TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!! ...It's pathetic that any game could command such a price (not to mention not worth 2K!)

5) Well, I'd say I'm a "Turbo Shiznit" since I got all of my own shirts and over 500+ originals.  I'm not the prez of MindRec, but pcengine-fx.com is the next best thing

Hmm.....that sounds like some problem with the redbook audio.  The circuits inside the DUO that process the audio from the CD to laser to the A/V output jack seem to be going out.  If this is the case (and it really sounds like it) then you will have to send your DUO to someplace to get it repaired.  Retrogames has been around for a long time and I've not heard of any problems with them.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: problem with my Duo-R]

Hi slashhhy, welcome to the boards.  If you can answer my questions below I will have a better idea of what your issue is.

1. How long have you had your DUO-R? (did you buy your DUO-R new or used?)

2. Have you tried other CD games?  Does it restart with every CD game you try to play?

3. Are you using originals of the games or CDRs?

Also, you might want to try to clean the CD lens, but be very careful that you don't scratch the lens.  Air it out, make sure there isn't any build-up of dust, maybe use a lens cleaning brush if you can get one.  Also make sure that the CDs you are using are as scratch-free as possible as the CD unit will fail if it can't read the data in a reasonable amount of time.
