Is this the main TurboGrafx forum?

Slowdown is no fun... especially if you want to hear Super Star Soldier level 3 music at correct power metal speed.

I haven't tried many of my games for more than a few minutes; I have about 20 HUcards at the moment.

If I want to increase the speed of the system to the same speed as the US model, what do I need to change - the crystals only? - and will that interfere with the CPU and either not make it work, or make everything work too fast, is the rest of the system is expecting the original crystals? If it is just the case of desoldering the existing two crystals (or one), anyone got a link to what I need (ie e-bay ideally)? I don't want to bust my system now! Actually, I will probably test all my games, once the portable is finished, to see if there is any noticeable slowdown. I enjoy games, but my reactions are a bit slower now than a teenager (I will be 43 in a couple of weeks' time), so having a slightly slower system would be good for the shooters (as long, as I say, there are no noticeable slowdowns).

As long as China Warrior plays at full-speed, you're fine.

I don't like China Warrior, sorry!

Printed my decals, put them on my case backing; looks really quite professional. I need to spend today giving it a few coats of Kyrstal Clear Plasti-Kote spray paint to seal it - I used more than half a spray can of red for this case, as it needed this amount to cover the dark grey from the cat slot and the green from the putty. If I don't give it a really good varnish session then the decals will come off and the paint will fingerprint. After all this is done, case needs to be left for at least 24 hours to harden fully - no issue and I can work on this case section on Monday.

Today, I will do the above, the C-Sync amplifier circuit and test it; start on the case front.

I have been sick for the last couple of days, so my work is a bit limited at the moment - should be back to speed on Monday / Tuesday.

I will start my WIP thread on this forum today as promised too (modding section), and give a link to it here.

Same here. We must defend the honor of this unappreciated game.
