2/13/2025: Localization News - Cosmic Fantasy 3-4!

Rather earth-shattering news in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 community: Cosmic Fantasy 3 & 4 has been officially localized to English by Edia 30 years later for the Switch! Hard to believe! I know their script quality is poor given the 1&2 port but still good to see.

so are all the games for PC-FX Jap or was it release in the US/Europe as well?
If you had a jap one would it play US games?

The PC-FX can't play Turbo games any more than the Saturn can play Genesis games.

And no, there was no US release... Japan only.

That would make for a hell of a mod chip!

I still say it would be awesome if someone would make an expansion to the PCFX to make it backwards compatible.  LOL

It would be revolutionary.  I wish NEC had done it!!
Jossshhhhh...Legendary TurboTrollX-16: He revenge-bans PCE Developers/Ys IV Localizers from PCE Facebook groups and destroyed 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Josh and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner (extortion/blackmail!), never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

It's obviously not playing the game, but some titles will show an error screen on a PC-FX akin to those shown for wrong system cards in a PCE.

If we're going to mod it, cut the top of the casing off so it's open like a record player.  Beef up the motor then have another laser w/carriage sticking several inches out the other side.....

Now it plays Laseractive titles too!!

I guess I should ask - since I recall hearing the PC-FX had very similar hardware to the PCE (So it wouldn't be as contrasting as a Genesis-to-Saturn after all), how theoretically possible would it be to emulate on it or to reverse-engineer a port?
I'd assume it'd be easier than porting Super Mario Bros. to the Genesis was...
