None that I can see, but when I connect with it, the video would come in and out as I manipulated the cable (on the RCA jack side, not the DUO side) It felt like something was not quite right inside the cable.

That's an awesome set beamer!!!

Holy crap! I want to laugh...wait...I am already laughing. I feel bad for the guy. I'm not sure how I would go about that. If it was just an A/V cord it seems like he didn't care enough to troubleshoot. It's obviously up to you how you want to handle it, though.

Anyway, nice system! I
love all the nostalgic goodies!

ya very nice Bluebeamer!!! put some hours on it first before you make a call on what to do

could be some fuckery after some hours of play.

I logged about 2 hours of LoT last night. Only fuckery was the sound issue. Ill be correcting that tonight. I know i'll never find another system like this again so i guess i had better keep it.

I just bought a 64 Mb flash card by Neo for my TG16, and it arrived yesterday. $80 shipped from someone on AtariAge. I freaking love this thing. I haven't stopped playing PCE games since I got it.

Sweet. I have always wanted one of those.

What is it? are you able to play ROMs on the hardware with this or what? show some pics

Quote from: BlueBMW on 09/08/2010, 07:28 PMSome gaming goodies came in today! One was a purchase based on a recommendation from someone here, and the other was some gaming goodies from Japan (well JapanTokei, and was actually shipped from China...)

$1800 for Magical Chase?! Bah! I just want to play it! This loosey copy was MUCH cheaper! And now I actually have some schmups for the PC engine!

On a US TG16 or TurboDuo, you can play any US or Japanese TG16/PCE ROM. If you have a Japanese system, you would, I believe, have to patch US game ROMs to work, since it has that region-check deal built in. You just plug the card into that USB slimloader and load ROMs onto it. This one is 64 Mb (megabit, not megabyte), but they now make a 128 Mb version. This one holds about 10 games, depending on their size, which is enough for me considering the ease with which you can add and remove games. I downloaded a cooler looking menu for it, but haven't put it on the card yet. I can post a new pic once I do, if anyone is actually interested.

Here's a link to the site for the current product:

Mathius · 09/13/2010, 12:58 PM

Wow! That thing is pretty cool! I just worry that if I would buy something like that it would kill my love of importing the actual games?

On the contrary, I think that things like this just helps you sort out which games you actually want to buy. It's not like I am going to get rid of any of my TG16 games now that I have this. I didn't (and still don't) have a way to play PCE games at the moment, but I would still like to grab a cheap-o PC Engine down the line so that I can play the real games. Certainly though, for some people flash carts will replace actual games. But I am both a gamer and a collector, so I still want to have the real thing.

i think its pretty cool and I agree and feel there is no way it would steer me away from getting the original games. How lame would a person be if all they had was roms? get a wii or something. this imo is a great thing to dump a coulpe games on try em out then buy or just have fun

Digi.k · 09/13/2010, 09:20 PM

not a huge halo fan and haven't bothered playing 1 and 2.. but enjoyed 3 and had to get this..

$9.95 at K-Mart. It is fun to see a different take on Dracula X by less competent artists.

Mathius · 09/14/2010, 01:01 PM

You know, I have never even seen a copy of Dracula X for the PSP in the wild. Finding it at a K-Mart just makes it even weirder.

Let us know what you think of the game, Joe. I don't have a PSP but Dracula X may persuade me to get one.

Opethian · 09/14/2010, 06:56 PM

Mathius: its worth it alone for SOTN and Drac X is a bonus!

Joe Redifer · 09/14/2010, 07:06 PM

I wouldn't get a PSP just for this game, but I got one for Ys Se7en.

Mathius · 09/14/2010, 07:24 PM

Ohh I forgot about Ys 7!

Joe Redifer · 09/14/2010, 09:09 PM

And it's only $29, your choice of physical UMD disc or download only (I always go for physical releases whenever I can).

Bought a mint CIB Virtual Boy lot, including A/C adapter CIB, and system CIB with all original wrapping, and all 14 games CIB (including the for display only Mario Tennis box), and Japanese V-Tetris.

It is awesome. 3DS, 3schmeDS.

What's your addy? I'll send you some Excedrin.

Seriously though....AH, MY EYES!

I never had one of these, though I did try one when at a store BITD. It was fun for about 5 minutes until the headaches kicked in. Hope you can enjoy it.

I played about 30 minutes with no headache. From what I gather, it is pretty much luck of the draw if you go blind from the thing or not.

SuperDeadite · 09/15/2010, 07:47 AM

Yeah it depends on your eyes really. Wario is probably the best game on the system, but Insmouse no Yakata is my favorite. Wonderful little game if you can get one, brutally hard game though.

nectarsis · 09/15/2010, 01:54 PM

Helgeson strikes again. After playing the first 2 levels...MAN what a glitchy/slow moving/slow loading mess this game is.

Sapphire might be the next goal, but it requires an Arcade card am I right? Which would mean I'll need to either mod my US duo for JP or find someone with a Duo-R... who might have one for sale...
