Unusual item, a Super Grafx redone with a white paint job, saw it for sale on ebay.

Star Wars edition = totally pimp. Considering it's region/RGB modded, that's not a terrible price either.

Joe Redifer · 01/31/2011, 06:05 PM

No shit, that thing will play anything and it already has the RGB mod. Don't know how much it costs because the auction only lists moon-money.

Nazi NecroPhile · 01/31/2011, 06:13 PM

300 euros is about $400 greenbacks.

SignOfZeta · 01/31/2011, 07:17 PM

Nice!

It's preowner must be a Christian lissening to white metal all day long.

Awesome, but it's still an eight-pound yard of plastic.

Eight-pound yard of SEXY plastic

I really like the look...though some black on the "hex" bolts, or circles on the side would look even better IMO.

I have long been under the impression that region-modding (more specifically, grounding pin 29) a SuperGrafx breaks Aldynes, one of the prime reasons to own a SuperGrafx in the first place.

I thought it's the King of Pop edition? and why didn't he paint the controller to match it too hehe

Joe Redifer · 01/31/2011, 08:43 PM

Couldn't you just unground pin 29 when the switch is set back to JP mode? Maybe even add an entire extra switch just for pin 29... a BIG switch...

Theoretically, I don't see why not. Never tried it.

Well now you have something to do tonight.

Or if you're using an IC region mod... change your SPST switch out for a DPDT switch and have one half of the switch controlling the grounding of pin 29.

Back on topic... looks cool. Not sure if I could drop $400 on it.. but still cool.

nat · 01/31/2011, 10:50 PM

I guess my point was I highly doubt whomever did this mod took the whole Aldynes thing into consideration, but I could be wrong.

Arkhan Asylum · 01/31/2011, 10:55 PM

I think it looks kind of retarded now. Like "unfinished, gonna get scuffed to hell and shit" retarded.

I want a canary yellow setup.

Mathius · 02/02/2011, 01:01 AM

I always wanted a console that looked like a Star Destroyer. Awesome!!!!

SignOfZeta · 02/02/2011, 04:12 AM

I think it looks great in the picture, but someone has to really understand how to paint in order to make something durable enough to actually use.

Yeah, I remember writing about that exact method (connecting the board to a DPDT switch) years ago. I wonder if anyone ever did try to see if Aldynes would run okay afterward. I can't possibly see a reason why it wouldn't though.

Now, as for the all-white SGX setup, It's neat, but there's... something missing here -- I think it might have to do with the SCD-ROM missing its letters. It would've been nice to have the lettering match that of the SuperGrafx. (bitch bitch bitch

)

And yeah, not sure about how well that paint is going to stick, but that's a different matter.

Arkhan Asylum · 02/02/2011, 01:12 PM

that white paint is going to get dirty/gimpy in no time.i bet it arrives scuffed.

Not quite canary yellow, but close enough:

termis · 02/02/2011, 05:44 PM

Being an "engine" and all, it'd be pretty cool if someone went all out and did the SuperGrafx in a metallic gray with different trim for the hex nuts and all.

I spray painted a TG16 chrome when I was like 12
