10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

Suggestion: A Super Grafx converter for regular PCE and Duo systems.

Nope.  The Supegrafx games couldnn't run off of a PCE/Turbo.

I think it would be possible for the PCE and TG-16, but probably not the expansion bus lacking Duos.  If it could be done, it'd probably be a 32x franken console and have the PCE sit idle while it does all the heavy lifting.

It's not possible due to the way the Supergrafx is constructed. Until hardware exists to rewire the traces inside the PCE itself, this cannot happen. Ever. Sorry guys.

On the subject of pie-in-the-sky hardware modifications, is there any possible way to expand the back-up memory bank in the CD, Duo, or TurboBooster Plus set-ups?

You mean, aside from a Ten no Koe bank?

Yeah, I want something built-in.  Tracking the contents of two Ten no koe banks and three systems sucks.  I also hate using a converter half the time I need to switch files.

That'd certainly be an interesting project, though a more flexible and/or bigger tennokoe bank would suit the bill nicely.  Do any flashcard programs allow you to copy/save data over?

That said, I also started running into problems of running out of space on my tennokoe bank, so I took a day and converted all my save files onto PC & burned them on CD using nanami's bank.  It's a bitch to do, and certainly not the most elegant solution since you have to manually type in all the hex data on your PC to recreate the save file, but it's a one time thing (for things like saving cleared-game files, etc), and it fits all on one CD very nicely.  If you have two tennokoe banks filled up, that could be a weekend project.

BTW, If you or anyone is thinking about doing this, use a digital camera to capture the hex data of your PCE save files.  There'd be no way in hell I would've done this if I had to write down all the data by hand, then manually type all that in again.
