Where on earth do you dudes get youre pc engines from??
The prices quoted seem awfully low, I just did a search on ebay and the prices are way higher than that (significantly). Seriously, where do you buy them from? The ebay prices are way higher than those quoted and places like videogameimports.com, the prices are much higher too. I've said this before, in reguarding virtual boy hardware, Americans seem to be getting hardware/software for an awful lot less than us in the U.K/Ireland. But, how and why?
Heres an idea, find me a boxed pc engine duo or duo r and see how cheap you can get it! (post a link)
My boxed duo-r w/ original receipt and 39990 Yen price sticker was like, 86$ and it came with some games and a Tennokoe bank card! I also got an avenue 6 pad, a duo rx pad, and ave 3 pad, and some books with it.
Are we talking price before-shipping or after? The duo-r cost about 70$ to ship, making it 156$ in the end.
The trick is to not buy them on ebay and poke around. Have you ever been to RisingStuff.com? Its a nice place. They got some unboxed PCE hardware ass-cheap right now for the holidays

$100 probably sounds about right--if it's complete in box, in good shape. Just the bare system and hookups? Not so much...
Even CIB thats still alot. You can get a boxed duo-r for that price!

I dont even own an odyssey but I think I will buy this game.

You can get a TG16 for about $40 which you can easily mod to play all regions. A Pcengine from japan like the core graphix expect to pay $100 or more as they have become a hot collectors item the last couple years.
Core Grafx for 100$? Thats just idiotic! shame on anyone who charges that much for one.
when I said you can get a PC-Engine for 40-50$ tops, I specifically meant PC-Engine (Core grafx), not Turbo Grafx-16.
Turbo Grafx-16s can be had for 30-40$, and yes like you said, modded up to play Japanese HuCards too.

i'm really interested in getting a pc engine... what kind of price range am i looking at? everything is crazy expensive on ebay.
For just the hucard playing one? Like 40-50$ tops.

Genesis PSUs wont work in a Duo... the connector is different! they work in a plain Turbo Grafx though.
-
I don't think i saw a micro media pc engine but i remember seeing loads of imported US and Jap versions of the TG/Core and supergrafx systems (and the original PC engine as well)
If i am right in remembering, the only difference between the original and the TG 16 hardware (electronically) was more graphics memory
Theres no difference between a PC Engine and a TG-16, if thats what you mean.
What you might mean is the PC Engine vs. Super Grafx. The Super Grafx came out after the PC-Engine, and is the one with double the video-stuff.
-
I was kinda meh'd by it for the price since I blew through too much of it in one sitting, but I tend to do that.
I really like what they did to it as far as powerups though!
It beats the hell out of mario galaxy, and in 10 years will be the classic gaming equivalent of Mario 3 on NES

Hi gang,
Turbo Duo PS died. Not sure when. I checked the Power Supply lat nighe with a volt meter ans she is dead. I hope my Duo is OK. In any event, does anyone know of a suitable replacement (output 9VDC and 1000mA) or what to look for in fixing it.
Thanks, Lee
I have 2 of these and they work perfecto.

I wish I could remember what connector you buy for it. If you go into a radio shack, they have the danglers that you can try out so you can know which one you need for sure.
Just make sure you match the polarity properly. Compare the instructions that come w/ the AC adapter, to the sticker on the duo PSU.

I did about the same thing in Sa Ga 1
I got everyone in Lunar 1 to level 99 if that counts for anything
-
As far as the 16-bit era goes, I have always been partial to the TG-16. I grew up playing Vigilane, Bonk, Silent Debuggers and Neutopia, alot.
Some of the best home-arcade ports ended up on the TG/PCE.
Parasol Stars and Cadash should be high on your get-and-play list for sure.

Insanity: The first Turbo Grafx-16/PCE CD game since 2001 is pressed, and ready for purchase!
you Atarians will love it and all of its Berzerk remake goodness.
It has all the gameplay of Berzerk with enhanced graphics, music and sound!
The voice taunting is still there too, since it wouldn't be the same without it.
http://www.aetherbyte.com/insanity.htm for more information!!
There is a playable demo available as well!
and if you don't want Priority shipping don't worry, I'll work with anyone that wants first class or something of that caliber!
priority is just safer and faster!

You should be able to mess around with the CPU that is being emulated by Dosbox and get a better frame rate than that.
That sounds like an emulation issue. My dagger fall runs on my dos box (as in, real DOS computer!) smooth as hell.
I seem to recall a similar problem trying it in DOSBOX, along with some other games, hence me digging out my 486/dx and doing it right.
ideally yes, daggerfall runs similar to doom. Think Ultima Underworld

Man. you do NOT ship retro computers and pack the box with just popcorn. Thats just stupid.
Any time I have ever sold old computers I either wrap it in bubble tape, center it in the box, then my favorite part: Slice those foam pool noodles in half and trim to make a border around the object, dump in a bunch of popcorn after this, and wadded up news paper, repeat the noodle process on the top and then seal it up with tape....lots of it.
or if I currently have some, I use hospital grade packing squishy foam.
packing popcorn. Bah.
Did you pay with paypal? They usually help me out when I buy crap that shows up damaged since I show pictures of how crappily the box was packed up.

Ys (no comma!
) was awful on the DS. It was a goony-controlled port of the REALLY awesome Windows PC one.If you want to play the DS one, I suggest you skip it and get the Ys 1 and 2 remake on PC instead. If you can read Japanese, the Saturn one (nearly same as PC one) is a good option.
As for Ys in general
Ys 1 & 2: Either the PC Engine or the Windows PC/Saturn one...
Ys III: The PCE CD one is king, with Genesis being right behind it.
Ys IV: PCE CD
Ys V: SFC
Ys VI: PS2 or PC
Ys Oath in Felghana: (its a remake of Ys III) Great on Windows
and anything else new Ys wise, youll only be finding on the PC.

Anyone play Plok for the SNES? How is it? It's sitting at the store for $10. Should I grab it?
Grab it. I got it for 30.00$ on clearance back when K-Mart by me was going out of business/moving...
Id pay 30$ for it today if I saw it and didnt have it!
addicting and quirky game.

First of all.. Berzerk in mame uses samples for it's sound. So, to get sound in Berzerk just download the sample here:
http://www.mame.net/downsamples.html
... and put it in your /samples folder
Then download the rom! See attached
ah! I have those, but...i didnt think to stick them in the SAMPLES folder.....Im lazy and just drag/drop the berzerk folder onto the mame.exe....so I assumed, drop the sound files in too, itll have sound....
Guess I learned my lesson!
thanks!
-
pardon the post bump, but I just came across this via a search engine....anyone know where I can get a Berzerk mame rom w/ sound???...
thanks!

Ah you have the same Duo as me!
Go get the exact adapter I listed dude! I can't remember what adaptaplug went with it, but I can verify that the one I linked to works. I bought a few as backups.
The radio shacks by me have that one i Linked to in-stock, and have all the adaptaplugs on hand, so if you bring the console in, you can test them all out until you find the one that fits.
I want to say you need an H-plug. But dont quote me on that
I've had my duo-r in use for awhile now with no problems using that adaptaplug/power adapter combo. Plus the color kinda matches the console almost.
