[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: Sega Wondermega with games and backup ram cart]

I still feel stupid for passing on one of these in Tokyo in '07. Ah well, you can't buy everything.

Good luck with the sale!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Finding TG16 systems with a game in it.. which game?]

The first Turbografx I found in the wild had JJ & Jeff in it.

The second came with a stack of games. I then found some super choice games and a stick years later. These are the only TG16 gear I've found at thrift stores, or any other kind of store for that matter.

I can't wait to have some Yuki chan in my life.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Complete Guide]

My guide came in yesterday and it's awesome. Thanks again for the heads up.

Who ever heard of anti-Japanese PC Engine fans? Download the Google Translate app and get over yourselves. In my day you had to walk 10 miles uphill both ways through waist deep snow to just find out a game existed in Japan. Kids these days I tell you. ;)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Complete Guide]

Thanks for the heads up exodus, ordered! On a side note, I love Amazon Japan so very much.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: SuperGrafx power supply]

The cheap replacement power supply I had for my Supergrafx created a lot of video noise. I can't recommend them. It took me awhile to track down an official one but it eliminated the video problem. Didn't know about the other ones or I could've saved myself a few bucks.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Supergrafx PSU]

Good luck! It took me awhile to track down one. The generic replacements are pretty bad and create a lot of interference on screen.

Color me interested and confused!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: For Sale: PC Engine Complete Briefcase setup with Everdrive]

I love how this dumb thing looks! I wish I could justify it

Oh please, this is my preferred setup and the way god intended games be played. It's no Supergrafx with Super CD, that thing is dumb looking.

Free bump OP, good luck with your sale. Much love for the briefcase.

[General Gaming / Re: Everdrive Black Friday sale today!]

Dang talk about snail mail. Glad they showed up!

[General Gaming / Re: Everdrive Black Friday sale today!]

I got my Everdrive Black Friday order a week ago.  This time of year is horrible for international shipping and customs clearance. I've had a package in customs for over a week now. Patience is a virtue.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: BitHead1000 YouTube channel]

I love this guy's channel so very much.

[Off-Topic / Re: That TV Series You're Watching]

The first season of Mr. Robot. Jesus tittyfucking Christ.

Season Three has been great so far too. Love this show so much.

[General Gaming / Re: OSSC - Open Source Scan Converter (Scaler)]

Very nice on the OSSC. I'm waiting for mine to make its way to me from across the pond.  Can't wait!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Retrogamer #172]

Hopefully it isn't the same article reprinted once again.

I didn't have time to read the article before work, but I got my issue in today's mail:

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

I got hooked so bad on takoyaki while vacationing in Japan I bought an electric maker off eBay. I need to bust it out and get cooking!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Retrogamer #172]

Oh nice! I'm a subscriber so I'm definitely looking forward to this hitting my mailbox.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Philips CD-i Sega Controller Adapter]

I bought a SNES to CDi adapter for my 910 off a seller on AtariAge about maybe a year ago. You might want to check over there.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Arcade Card Pro]

Edit: I was able to find one. Thanks all!

I'm currently looking for an Arcade Card Pro for my briefcase setup. Anyone have one to sell?

Thanks!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Complete PC engine CD IFU setups and recapped Duo systems for sale.]

I sent Keith my briefcase S-video setup I bought from him a few years back to get RGB upgraded. Of course he does amazing work, and of course my PCE games have never looked so good. Thanks again Keith! Everyone send this man your business. You won't be disappointed.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Who works on non-PCE stuff here?]

If your looking to have your NES modded for RGB I'd recommend looking up Yurkie at AtariAge. He did mine and I couldn't be happier with his work.

[Fighting Street / Re: "When did Nintendoage become a bad word?"]

I love the NES, but the NES retro scene is the freaking worst.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: NEO PC Engine Flash Cart]

I found this while going through some things, and figured I'd see if anyone here was interested in it.

Here's my old NEO PCE Flash Cart that hasn't gotten much love since I got my Everdrive. This is the 64M model and comes complete with USB Loader, packaging, and the now mostly worthless driver disc. Updated drivers and the app needed to load ROMs on the cart can be found on their website: https://www.neoflash.com/

I tested this out and it still works great. It's currently setup for Turbografx, but this is easily changed in software when loading games on the cart.

I was thinking $50 shipped to US address. Drop me a PM if your interested.

Thanks!

Aaron

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS : US copy of Shining the holy ark]

$100 and a reach around? I'd consider it sold.

Oh good. Thought I was the only one.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Arkhan's Selling Stupid shit I forgot I had Thread!]

I prefer Meow-naise.     Thanks man!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Plastic]

The cases appear to be PCMCIA cases http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-10-Hard-Case-Holder-for-PCMCIA-Memory-Flash-cards-/221309096311?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33870cd177

I've got one of these cases for my Everdrive. Never thought of adding art to them tho. Very cool.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: X360 Mushihimesama Controller]

Buttons are seimitsu actually
how about $200 shipped priority this box is huge! trades also welcome

That stick is gorgeous. What sorts of things are you looking for trade wise?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: PC Engine LT, PCE games & misc]

That LT looks amazing. What would shipping be to the US?

[Off-Topic / Re: SONY BVM-14F5U]

Also search ebay by nearest distance

I scored a 19" PVM for 99 cents a few months ago doing just this. I had to drive an hour each way to pick it up, but PVMs are so hard to find around here it was more then worth it. Have patience.

[Off-Topic / Re: Cardboard Fetish - Beyond the Obey]

Anyone else play with one of these, yet?  Makes me want to upgrade my Galaxy Note 3. :/  And wash my forehead more.

Fried chicken is not to be used as facial wash.

But it gives you that delicious youthful glow.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Retrogate having a sale on the TurboEverdrive +others]

My order passed through customs a week ago, but is taking it's sweet time to get to me. It's been stuck in Allen Park, MI for the past three days. At least it got scanned each of those days. Gotta love the USPS during the holidays.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Seller "Classic Game Source" on eBay -- reliable dealer?]

I've not bought anything from him, but at least he knows how to spell le VolfieV.

I bought a copy if this game from them a few weeks ago, and the spine was completely sun faded. It was listed as "like new". Boo.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE Memories "Turbo Duo Edition"]

If only this one had a coin.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Anyone here have any original cover artwork?]

Those are some amazing pieces. The only piece of original art I have that is video game related is a cover to Playstation Magazine (PSM) for a Tekken 3 cover story.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTS: Who wants to join the Sony BVM club with me?]

Oh man, if only I was closer. I imagine shipping to Ohio would be a small fortune.

[Off-Topic / Re: Keychains]

so, as i've obtained more and more stuff, i find that i have way too many keys to put comfortably in my pocket.
so i need keychains, specifically, i'm looking for ones to go with my arcade cabs.
any suggestions, i've got an SNK cab, a namco cab, and a sega cab.

a quick search on ebay/amazon yielded disappointing results.

These look to be pretty nice and affordable:

http://www.arcadekeychains.com/

I haven't bought any, but I've seen them sold on different forums such as KLOV.

Hope this helps!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Memories: Best Of Japan box set...]

Got mine today! 10 of 100 apparently.

Mine arrived today too. 89 of 100

#88 here. I didn't get a chance to play around with the games yet, but it's a very nice looking package.

[Off-Topic / Re: NEC responded to my tweet on twitter!]

The 22 year old college intern that does the tweets probably had to hit up Wikipedia to see what you were talking about.

Still pretty cool nonetheless.

This made me laugh out loud. So very true.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: Ys Map Pack]

These look amazing. PM incoming!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: ATLANTEAN ORDERING INFORMATION (not til Friday)]

Alright so I'm interested in ordering this but much too lazy to read the rest of the thread only to find out they're all gone. It says to wait until Friday. I expect the goods to be revealed tomorrow!

Wait until Friday two weeks ago.

You missed the boat by like 150 people.  lol

I emailed an order when it went up on your site but haven't heard anything. Is it safe to assume I'm somewhere in the queue?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS/FT Contra Force]

PM sent.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Ys Map Prints]

Those look amazing. Me want!

[Off-Topic / Re: R.A. Salvatore fans - free audible.com books]

Nice, thanks for the heads up! I'm not familiar with his stuff, but the price is right.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Interest Check: Contra Force]

This game is terrible but it says Contra on the front and I don't own it so I have interest.

This.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: For Sale: XE-1 Pro HE Joystick Partially Works Complete with Box]

Listings from Japan, eBay or otherwise, would also title and/or describe this as "Junk".

A thousand bucks for a broken junk stick, the OP is clearly high.

[Fighting Street / Re: Ebay auction before it gets pulled. In FS since NSFW]

Oh balls. ;)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your most amazing score.]

I know there are quite a few members here that live in TurboGrafx saturated areas but here in NW Ohio it's amazing if you even see a loose Keith Courage at a game store or resale shop once a year.

Hey another Toledoan! I can only remember a couple times I found Turbo stuff in the wild around here.

In 1997 when I was going to school in Bowling Green I scored a TG-16 with a Turbobooster and around 25 games for $50 at Goodwill. That got the ball rolling.

My best ever find was in June of 2007 at the Goodwill on Reynolds Rd. Hidden in the CDs were about a dozen games including Dungeon Explorer II and Neutopia II for $3 a pop. No system, so I always suspected whoever bought it missed the games. Always check the CD bins!  I don't think I'll ever do that good at a thrift again.

Back in the late 90s Allied Records was a goldmine for games before collecting and eBay went mainstream. I truly miss those days, but Turbo stuff has always been hard to find around here. I only knew one person who had one while they were still current.

Good luck!

[Off-Topic / Re: Crawling Back: absentee member confessions.]

life is a clusterfuck.

This. But I recently got back into Turbo games again, so here I am.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: PC Engine DUO for sale. Completely recapped+S-video port]

Great seller here, buy with confidence. 👍
