@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

Fantasy Mod: How feasible?

Hey All, been lurking over the past few days so I am definitely NOT gone!  3rd and last baby is a month away so things have be super busy for me.   ](*,)

Anyway, I've been thinking (more like obsessing) about this mod for a while now and wanted everyone's input on the feasibility of it.

I will call it the "Turbo Express XL":  A LARGE form factor TE in the exact same style as the regular TE, but with a Large Screen and Six Button Layout.  I wish I could draw a mock-up, but perhaps people with skills could take a shot.

Main Parts Needed:

PC Engine Core Guts
Region Switch Board
PC Engine 6 Button Controller
Internal Speaker
Large Screen
Power Supply or LIPO Battery

A Custom 3D-Printed Shell and parts to fit all the above. Custom Screen Cover and Logo.

Extra "Nice to Have" Features:  Output to Component/S-Video/AV/RGB, Extra Port for 2-Player, CD Port.


Thoughts?  Is this Possible? Cool?  Stupid waste of time?  All opinions welcomed.

Ha! Hey Null, yea that's along the same lines (posted vid below for it).  But I was thinking an exact supersized Turbo Express with six buttons.  Make it as official-looking as possible!
Edit:  Plus not going to those extremes to hack up the system board.  I imagine a PCE inside a case with room would only require soldering the necessary hookups like the screen and controllers.

It's certainly possible, given enough time, effort, and money.
