PsychedelicShaman Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Is there anything on the board that would cause heat to build up? Heatshrinking seems like a bad idea for anything that can overheat. I don't see anything that would, but maybe the chips? I'll just be over over here with my overly cautious self...

goldenegg Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 The Turbo Everdrive couldn't have been released at a better time, as I just bought a TurboExpress! From past experience ordering Everdrives, I should have it in a little over a week. I think I'll use my old Neo cart in the Express and use the Everdrive for my consoles. Regarding the heat wrap people are suggesting in this thread, it really depends on how much clearance exists once the card's in the slot. Adding anything extra around the PCB could potentially make it a tight fit. Edit: Just noticed RetroGate shows 'back ordered' for the TE, so I guess I'll have to wait a little longer to get it.

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Well I am in! I was never too much into the TG-16 but I have two of the consoles and only a couple games so I look forward to playing a LOT more games on it, just ordered a board from StonageGamer and keeping an eye on all the suggestions for a suitable casing, I am not the most technically inclined but I am getting good ideas so far on what I will try thanks to you guys!

goldenegg Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 For anyone about to start exploring the TG16/PCE catalog for the first time, I highly recommend you make use of the following resources: http://www.thebrothersduomazov.com/ - Review for every TG16 game released http://www.youtube.com/user/spida1a - Awesome YouTuber with 63 TG16 game reviews to date and several PCE games too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 http://www.pcengine.co.uk/ is an amazing resource as well. Screenshots and cover art for just about every game available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thanatos Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Both KRIKzz and I have put Turbo EverDrive up on the site (mine is pre-order): http://stoneagegamer..._boardonly.aspx Looking for Deluxe Edition? We currently do not know if a Deluxe Edition will be possible for this product. If we do make a Deluxe Edition we will offer a Deluxe Edition upgrade kit to customers who purchased their Turbo EverDrive from Stone Age Gamer. The price of the kit will be the difference in price from Board Only to Deluxe Edition. Glad I checked the thread today, just ordered myself one. By the way, your Discover payment is messed up, it claimed my address was wrong. Odd. As far as a deluxe edition, maybe encasing it in resin could work (like when you see tables with stuff embedded in them under the clear resin). Probably tricky to do it with the memory card slot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably tricky to do it with the memory card slot though. Credit card processing and validation is handled by the credit card processor. If it says your address is wrong then its either a problem with the credit card processor or the issuing bank. Or it was just a one time weird issue with one of them.

Adding anything extra around the PCB could potentially make it a tight fit. Yes this is biggest issue. I don't think there is much clearance (if any). This is why I will need to get a board and experiment a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2600 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Hey Stone Age, what about making a TG/PCE jewel case cover/label, that we could put on a donor case? Edited July 8, 2012 by Greg2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneAgeGamer Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hey Stone Age, what about making a TG/PCE jewel case cover/label, that we could put on a donor case? Anyone have any idea where would could get jewel cases like the TurboGrafx used? Basically looks like CD jewel case but without spindle to hold CD. I would be willing to do it if I could find something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2600 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Vinyl sleeves, if you wanted those, are easily obtainable from many places, since they are made for business cards. The cases you'd probably have to buy small quantities from several people, may not be worth it. I'll ask around though. My thought is simply to print the end label sticker and the jewel case insert, and let the buyer apply it.

the.golden.ax Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Geez, sold out on Turbo Everdrive already? I've had the page open all day hoping to get enough coin together. Had to cover the mortgage first (...and still not quite there). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Geez, sold out on Turbo Everdrive already? I've had the page open all day hoping to get enough coin together. Had to cover the mortgage first (...and still not quite there). I got mine from Krizz's site this morning (http://shop.retrogate.com/). It says back ordered, but all that means is that it will ship in 5-7 days, you can still order one. That's what I did with my SD2SNES. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard H. Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 What kind of casing or shell might one use to protect the components I've got a 3D printer being delivered in a few weeks. If someone want's to CAD an enclosure, I could print it out (in white ABS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Turbo EverDrive has currently only been tested with the standard PCEngine CoreGrafX II and TurboGrafx-16. USB version of cart will not fit in SuperGrafx Now I am going to guess the answer is no but just to confirm (and help me decide if I should ever bother) if one is lucky enough to have a SuperGrafx will this load and play those few specific SuperGrafx titles? THANKS. If not no biggy, I have pre-ordered already from you and look forward to using on one of my TG-16's!

That's the thing... most Super Grafx owners do... it wasn't like there were allot. It's just a sexy Turbo Grafx to play your Flash cart on... but a duo is too. Now I wish I had a DUO-R but this inexpensive Japanese standard black duo I've got is all I really need. I paid $61 shipped for it because the door sensor was shot. I bridged it (thinks it's closed all the time) and it works like a charm. Maybe I'll dye it (yeah, me? diet? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I thought I read on the Assembler boards that the answer was yes, it will do SuperGrafx titles since they're pretty much the same as regular TG-16 games. I'd ask over there just to be sure though. I just hope that this works in my RGB modded Duo. It should, but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First place I looked but could not find with all the searching and reading I did....I mean the point is pretty much moot for me as I don't see myself paying what a SuperGraphixs typicaly goes for. I have 2 TG16 (one is AV modded!) I might pick up a PC Engine CORE as I just like the look of them. For those few SuperGraphics specific titles I could always just emulate, I am just always curious.....

StoneAgeGamer Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I asked KRIKzz if it would work, he said "have no idea, probably yes". We won't know until someone with SuperGrafx tries it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
