Ok! I got a Core Grafx II comming finally.

[MissaFX]

Ok, I know it probably isn't the best deal out there, but I have a Core Grafx II on the way now which looks to be in very clean/good condition compared to many I have seen for sale:

It also comes with a box which looks to be in pretty good condition (no bashes in it).

I also talked the guy into sending some games with it to make the sale:

Total cost: $100.00 including surface shipping from Japan.  Maybe I paid a little too much, but at least I'm happy about it

Now I just need to find a travel case for the CGII, does anyone know of a camera or other electronics case which works well to take the CGII, the cable, controller, power supply and a few hucard games?

(for some reason the top pic stopped working, it's fixed now)

nice catch bro

[Turbo D]

congratulations on your first pc engine  You got a good deal too!

nice catch bro

I might be a gamer and into some pretty nerdy things, but I'm a woman not a dude.  I blame my father, he turned me into a computer hardware tech and my sister into a chemist.  Together we form Mecha Washu  The most powerful, evil and random mecha!  (Sorry I am up at 3am and cannot sleep so I'm a little strange atm)  The first half is serious though.

Oh and ty ^_^

Someone bought the one that had 2 controllers, a multitap, and something else for 50 dollars.  That's really the one I had my heart set on.  But this one looks to be in better condition.  I'll just have to get a 2nd controller at some point in Jan.

Computer techs unite!

Er, actually, I'm leaving the tech support field. I'm getting dual degree with library science and usability engineering.

I've got a PCE Core that I traded from someone who originally got it and a few games from D-Lite supposedly. Too bad one of the games was The Kung Fu. Ugh!

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Congratulations on picking up an Engine!  That's not a sweet deal, but neither is it a horrible deal, considering it's clean and includes some games and shipping.  If you really like Yuna, you might want to keep an eye out for the reissued version of the first game, which includes a second disc of HuVideo fmv.  Of course, a cd add-on might be a good idea too.

That's exactly how I feel about it.  Not a good deal, not bad.  I am a huge Yuna fan though, I was very unhappy when Final Fantasy made a Yuna character because it now means people actually want that name on the internet.  I am pretty sure Yuna is my favorite Anime/Video game character and series.  Luckally the guy had 3-4 copies of Yuna 1 and 2 so I don't think he was too worried about parting with them.  Baroque is a game I have wanted since I saw screenshots from it.  It just looks so strange I have to play it.

As far as being able to play PC-E CD games, I intend to get a SVIDEO modded DUO eventually.  I wanted a core grafx/PC-Engine because they are small and have less things inside that can fail, so hopefully it will last a long time.

[TurboXray]

Ohhh, you should get a SUPER CDROM2 addon. It makes for a cool looking setup, CoreGrafx+Super CDROM2 unit combo. Also, like the Duo you don't need a SCD 3.0 card as it's built into the addon unit.

Damn right, it looks like pure sex.

The only super CDROM2's I see for sale cost basically the same as a DUO or DUO-R.  But if I saw one cheap I might consider it now that I know it has the system card built in.  One other thing I like about the DUO is that you don't need a bunch of system cards.

I really like the white PC-Engine docking bay though with the white CDROM, that thing looks awesome.

If pure sex means something swallowing something else then yes.

So, I guess.... yes.   

And a nice boxed Core II easily gets $60.  The shipping sucks, but hey that's not bad considering the Yuna games with it.

[Ceti Alpha]

Gratz on the Core unit.  Looks to be in great shape too. But yeah, you're definitely going to have to get a SuperCD add on. Just wait and a good deal will show up. You obviously know how that is. 

[termis]

I think I'm gonna put up a SCD-ROM for sale sometime soon.  No box/manual, and has some scuffs, but works fine.  And if you can do without a video cable (the same one for CoreGrafx works), maybe we can work out a deal.  PM me if interested.

[Keranu]

Congratulations on the PCE! Beware though, you might find your PC-FX being used less each day  .

hey ya missa..sorry about that, but wasn't aware of your gender but in here a everybody is my bro, so you're my sis (^^  o)_Y
anyway have fun with your new device and let grow the family

[Ceti Alpha]

Hehe. I thought that maybe "bro" was the new politically correct term that applied to both genders. Like "actor" or "waiter". 

[MissaFX]

hey ya missa..sorry about that, but wasn't aware of your gender but in here a everybody is my bro, so you're my sis (^^  o)_Y

No offence taken, I have not talked to you personally at all on the board and unless you read 1 or 2 of my very early threads, or are BT then you probably do not know.  I don't know the genders of most of the people here, but I assume they are guys based on their avatars and in some cases the way they "talk". 

Anyways now I will have my FX and a Grafx II, I just need to get a CD addon or a DUO now and I'll really be in business.

Agreed and then some beside missa a scdr2 can play burns.

Even better if your interested at playing any u.s hucards the,Coregrafx can be region modded.

D-lite did mine coregrafx works great so far.

[Tatsujin]

but I assume they are guys based on their avatars and in some cases the way they "talk". 

hella yes..and sometimes based on their signature as well

[GUTS]

I always say "you guys" when I'm addressing multiple people at once- no female has ever been offended by that until one time I was talking to two lesbians who were both super butch (weird, because usually just one of them is butch), and I said "you guys", they got really pissed.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Maybe one of 'em was packing heat and was afraid that the other would find out 'her' secret.

"guys" is a really tricky word for people to navigate in the English language.  When a guy uses it for guys, this is generally accepted.  When a girl uses it for a group of girls, that is generally accepted too.  Further yet complicated by the fact that in some languages these kind of terms are more or less absolute in terms of gender (usually more) and so each individual might not only have their own opinion on proper use, but they might also have other languages hedging their use of English.  When a guy uses the term guy to describe an individual or group of girls I estimate it has a 75% chance of being interpretated correctly (the more the girl knows the guy the higher this % gets).  A lot of this also has to do with the fact that certain types of people seem to take the term more or less gendered.  For example gamer girls or girls involved in team sports are more likely to use the term "guys" in emulation of male speach in the same task (even if they do not notice they are doing this).  A girl using this term to a group of will generally always be recieved well.

Anyways, being a gamer that is a term I am fine with.

I always use the term "guys" to refer to groups of girls. I don't think twice about it. If they don't like it, tough.

People are too fucking sensitive about things these days, anyway. "Political correctness" has become waaaaaay too important in our society anymore. If as a woman all you have to worry about in life is whether or not someone refers to you and your girlfriends as "guys" when in casual conversation, you're pretty well off and you'll get no sympathy from me. Think of all the poor dying children in third-world countries and people dying of flesh eating bacteria. Those people, I have sympathy for.

Fucking-a.

Sorry, I just have to ask.  What if you were addressing a group of girls/women in africa who were all dying of flesh eaying bacteria (don't worry, you are in a full body condom) and you were having to ask them where you could get a load of bread and butter, which term would you use?  (yes they all speak English, one of them is clutching a duo-rx and calling it her baby as well)

Word.  "Guys" is my go-to term, though I'll switch to "ladies" if they appear to be old enough to fart dust or to "bitches" when talking to my hos.

[Rainbow_Bright]

I got my Core Grafx two when I was 14 But...an accident happened and it was no more. Bought a new pc engine this year (I'm 24 now), a cute little white one Actually I have two, one that needs an rgb conversion (still haven't gotten around to sending it away, but next week hopefully!!!) and another which doesn't work-but that was part of the deal anyway.

A: Not likely none of us would ever get caught dead in a full body condom suit.

B:Not likely none of us would ever get caught dead in a full body condom suit or not,roaming around Africa. You couldn't pay me enough to go there. Leave the trips to Africa for the bleeding hearts who want to save the world. I worry more about the starving and homeless in my own country,and sometimes,not even that.

C:If,and this is a never going to happen if,but if I was in that situation,instead of asking for bread and butter I would be asking for diamonds I can sell to buy a ticket outta there and back to the states,and so Id have extra money left over.
