Quote from: AFGRAFXSTAN on 04/23/2024, 06:57 PMSo, If I used the TED Pro on an Express I would get stereo HUcard sound through the Headphone port, but no CDDA out of either the speaker or the Headphone port because the CDDA doesn't come off the card port because of the pinout?  Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the Turbo Express gets all audio when using the everdrive pro but the CD sound is Mono not stereo. Just like with coregrafx, supergrafx, and PC engine shuttles.

Moto Roader is one of my favorites on the system. Probabaly because I played it so much with friends back in the day. Definitely more fun multiplayer as it cuts down on the CPU opponents, which somehow have the ability to get better upgrade parts than they have the money to buy.

I've always been dissapointed with Moto Roader II. The addition of cars that can fly kind of ruins it for me.

They should have made Moto Roader II with just cars but then added more variety of tracks. Maybe some off road or city race tracks.

Hey Tom, good to see an OG PCEFX veteran stop by our fledgling "PCEFX 2.0" reboot! ; )

- Legend of Xanadu I & II: These projects are inactive/hibernating, nothing new to report. Sam went on to have a family, still wants a 100% day-one localization patch with dubbing, and since that's on hold the team won't release a text patch (which they said they finished). elmer fudd did say if enough years/time go by and no movement on dubbing happens, he'll go ahead and release said text patch.

- Emerald Dragon: Same. I don't have any active fan/hobby projects at present.

About the only occasional hobby project I sometimes work on if I power on my desktop PC (I mostly migrated to my Android phone for all social media/video consumption) is this: "PCEFX 2.0" I'll recover images or upgrade the CSS to make sure this forum is readable on a phone's resolution/constraints.

* Just the other day I recovered 2+ image(s) here thanks to Wayback (it's the classic thread of Saber Riiiiders...ridin' off with all yo money cuz riders gonna riiiiide! :lol:):
pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?msg=488647

* And if you look at a PCEFX thread on a phone, the posts now show the avatar and I eliminated excess spacing, so more posts can be seen vertically.

Still not as good as Facebook or XenForo forum software, but quite a bit of improvement for viewing old threads.

Anyway, it's hard to justify all the time needed for a localization project and I just have other priorities, so I dunno when I'll resume. I actually thought maybe this winter but I was tied up with offline projects/work.

Now that I have my PC-Engine repaired again, I've been checking up on some of these project announcements... and also... dropping a cold hard $150 on a used copy of Ys III: Wanderer's From Ys Super CD in today's retro prices because I forgot I never owned that one...  (I think is a good deal now from what I saw?) Anyhow, how is this project coming along and how is Legend of Xanadu coming along? Any updates?

The email queue finished...today, that is, all PCEFX newsletter emails finally finished being sent out to the 5k legacy membership! My host is annoying, has 300 daily email limits, that sort of thing, which I had to work around by slowing down the email queue process...

Anyway, one interesting development thanks to publishing the newsletter is it turns out that someone else also tried to archive pcecp .com similar to me! He successfully downloaded all the images and passed along a copy, and I in turn gave him a raw MySQL copy of the pcecp database that Bt Garner gave me in 2021 before he passed away. I'll report the progress if he actually does rebuild pcecp soon on his site:
http://gamezero.online/special/pcecp/

Other than that, I noticed a few extra visits, but not much new posts in response... Sadly my hopes for this PCEFX revival project didn't live up to expectations, but oh well. I'm just glad we can save/archive as much of the site/forum as possible even if we'll never get back some decent active membership. Have to accept reality/circumstances.

A VTuber covered my game (and also my Anarch port) during a livestream and it seems that he and viewers were impressed by the graphics. (at 1:21:00 or so)
I'm glad i was able to achieve this in the first place :P

It does seem that i need to increase the game's difficulty, the game does progress in difficulty but it does it too slowly for people to notice, i hope to address that later.

Unrelated to PC-FX but i also fixed the Casio Loopy's weird behaviour in game (it wasn't rendering anything in game altho in fact, it seems it actually froze) due to an issue with OpenBUS and writing/reading pixels offscreen. That was a mistake on my part and it was fixed.

Just everything you see here I suppose. We'd have to track down @2X4 and ask. Like many he's MIA, and I dunno if his email is still valid either.

Confirmed - His email address is expired/bad/invalid:
Quote----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<strandc@unk.edu>
SMTP; 554 5.4.14 Hop count exceeded - possible mail loop ATTR34 [SN1PEPF0002636D.namprd02.prod.outlook.com

You'll have to find another way to contact him.

Did anything ever become of this font? I'd love a copy if it was finished

OK, the 2024 PCEFX newsletter is shipping out (late as it is)!

It feels like 2024 saw more significant localization projects like Team Innocent than what was published for PC Engine! Let's hope that changes for 2025!

Happy New Year! :ysdance:
