[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PC engine Duo-RX plays hu-cards but get either pink, green or cyan screen for CD]

oh forgot to add, arcade card worked after i got it running. sorry for the double post.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PC engine Duo-RX plays hu-cards but get either pink, green or cyan screen for CD]

i got it to work under some rather odd circumstances. i had the same issue with the arcade card. interesting part?
among all the trouble shooting (and 30-40 reboots) i left it on for over 20 minutes on a pink screen (must have been on for about an hour)
i had to go take care of some business and when i came back, the lens was making clicking noises(even with a pink screen)
i rebooted it and i got a bios screen! but it was freezing on the press run screen.
after that i kept rebooting it about half a dozen times and i actually got it to go in game!. i finished dracula x from beginning to end on that session.
I know electronics do not normally behave this way (even if they are having bad capacitor problems, erratic behavior wouldnt "flush" after just rebooting)
it has been working ever since for the last 6 weeks or so. anybody have any idea what the heck could cause this???

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PC engine Duo-RX plays hu-cards but get either pink, green or cyan screen for CD]

i ordered a system card on the mail. see if i get any results. if it works that way, ill call myself lucky and use it that way.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / PC engine Duo-RX plays hu-cards but get either pink, green or cyan screen for CD]

Hi Guys,

I just recently got a Duo-RX for cheap at a local game store. they were selling it with the issue of being able to play  hu-cards but it shows a cyan, pink or green screen if there is no card in the hucard slot. Does anyone have any ideas of where to start looking on the board for this sort of issue?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: can somebody educate me on the story behind magical chase?]

wow thats fascinating. thank you.
edit:
wait so that would explain the few numbers for the turbo but for the pc engine it would be a different story right? does it mean it had a regular production run overseas?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

man, flipping the hard work of the members here to Gouge is pretty fucked up :/

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / can somebody educate me on the story behind magical chase?]

Since I trust the membership here for an objective story. what is it that caused Magical chase to spike in price so high? would anybody with a sound knowledge of gaming history explain why the prices (ridiculous ebay prices aside) are so high? even the japanese version seems to go for a 150+ in some honest to goodness places.

any input from historically savvy people is appreciated.

[Off-Topic / Re: Collectards...]

I collect dog turds, then I mold them into HUCARD trays and dry them well with my hair dryer. 

Yeaahhhhhhhhhhhhh B)

but seriously to me the definition refers to people for the sake of collecting games and paying premiums for the sake of gloating rights and they hardly play any of their games. add insult to injury a couple of months later they sell their shit back on ebay for ridiculous prices...

[Off-Topic / Re: trying to make a repro. the log of a person who does not know what he is doing]

Congrats on making sailor moon another story.As for making SOM2 i don't know ask bust3dstr8 he has made snes repro's before.

[Off-Topic / Re: trying to make a repro. the log of a person who does not know what he is doing]

I am interested in the white shell (housing) for the japanese sega saturn. i will replace the internals with the ones of a u.s. saturn. please let me know if any one of you guys have one available.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

raising video game prices based on speculation is silly by itself. my comparison was meant to be silly

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

this is dumb. really? this next to the auction where people are selling the metal slug collection for half a million is depressing.

since when did old video games turn into bitcoin? (artificially inflated due to speculation?)

whatever. I have a local video game store that has records of this game selling for 29 dollars back in the year 2003. This auction is silly.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

lol when an auction jumps like that....it sounds fake.

[Off-Topic / Re: trying to make a repro. the log of a person who does not know what he is doing]

on that note i just bought legend of valkyrie for 9 bucks. . Slowly but surely back on OBEY.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: This started as a trolljob, but now it kinda rules. ( :]

mind is blown.
cool vid. lol

[Off-Topic / Re: trying to make a repro. the log of a person who does not know what he is doing]

hey that is pretty nice!!
I am goint to check if we have a capable laser printer at work.

[Off-Topic / Re: trying to make a repro. the log of a person who does not know what he is doing]

I need to start getting OBEY again.

for labels im googling around since i am wondering what the best type of materials should be used for them. Artwork, i am going to use those replacement plastic snes game holders so printing an inserst should be easy for it.

[Off-Topic / Re: All the new people]

quite frankly it is not hard to fit in around here. its like it has been said before, be nice to others provide info and be helpful when you can. most people that get ruin their welcome here tend to go around ripping others off and pulling bs shenanigans or try to make a quick buck out of the membership here. you would think that many of them would get the hint by reading that this place has no tolerance for that...

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: So I built an arcade pedastal]

Neo Geo ports.

Kabuki Itouryoden
Super Dariuses

Areoblasters
Forgotten Worlds
Screen clearing games (Don Doko Don, Pop'n Magic, Circus Lido, Zipang, Buster Bros, Be Ball, etc)
Sapphire, Lords, Gate of Thunder (OBVIOUSLY)
Kaze Kiri
China Warrior
JJ & Jeff, New Adventure Island, Bikkuriman world, Monster Lair
Altered Beast, Shinobi
Pyramid Plunder, Lucretia, Revival Chase, Meteor Blaster

every single one in that list is fun as hell!

[Off-Topic / trying to make a repro. the log of a person who does not know what he is doing]

So, i decided to build an snes repro for the hell of it. While my soldering skills are decent I decided to go for the easiest route possible.

for the "donor cart" i decided to get this instead:

http://www.infiniteneslives.com/aux5.php

it probably beats building one from scratch and it pretty much seems like an inexpensive 20 dollar snes flash cart (yes by the description you can write to it multiple times if you mess up, so perfect for a beginner).

the flasher for it seems to go for 20 bucks (30 if you get it with all the bells and whistles)

http://www.infiniteneslives.com/aux3.php

i will update the post when i receive the stuff. all very exciting! I could definitely get pointers from veterans once i have the stuff to try it out!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: wtb: cotton for the PC engine]

haha,  well lets see if I find anyone

[Off-Topic / Re: does anybody know a reputable repro maker (more specificallly secret of mana 2?)]

actually i found one on google for 30 dollars. i will make a little worklog thread as soon as i order the parts.

[Off-Topic / Re: does anybody know a reputable repro maker (more specificallly secret of mana 2?)]

after a bit of googling. i think im going to try to make my own repro. it sounds like a fun project. I will probably make a thread when i get the parts. The most enjoyable part of this is the knowledge. cant wait to try it.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / wtb: cotton for the PC engine]

time to rebuild the good old collection again. please let me know if you got one for sale.

[Off-Topic / Re: does anybody know a reputable repro maker (more specificallly secret of mana 2?)]

Yeah I remember Bartre used to do it, but i believe he retired from doing so. Also hi! long time no see

[Off-Topic / does anybody know a reputable repro maker (more specificallly secret of mana 2?)]

hey, I have been kind of interested in getting the secret of mana 2 in snes cart form. I know google give a lot of results but I trust the expericence from the members here. anybody know somebody who would do quality work for this?

[Off-Topic / Re: getting back into old school gaming]

WB to the site though if you're looking to buy it all again then id suggest flash-carts.

I noticed the price of things spiked since two years ago.... i cant believe that a copy of earthbound is going for 250+ nowadays.... what caused this spike from over two years ago?.

either way, going to start by buying an arcade card for my duo again (which thank god is still good after opening it from a box after all this time.

[Off-Topic / Re: getting back into old school gaming]

haha, actually i still play the battlemania 2 cart you made for me a couple of years back

[Off-Topic / Re: getting back into old school gaming]

hah very cool. nice to see some of the old timers still going strong around here.

[Off-Topic / getting back into old school gaming]

hey guys, its been a while since my last post here with real life being a pain and all. A couple of years back I had to get rid of a part of my collection due to having  to move to a smaller place. many things have changed since then and i now have more space to start getting back into these games again! I was just wondering how many of you old timers are still around.

cheers!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: LF: Magic Knight Rayearth Sega Saturn]

yeah I ended up getting it from Arkhan a year ago.
and yes i still read the forums
I really hope tsuran ends up finding a copy on the cheap

Sorry if this is too casual of a topic however i could not think of any other way to say hello to my fellow members. Its been a while since i p osted here due to real life being a time vacuum.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: kakutolives unexpected PCE sell off. it must all go. Name your price on some]

with all due respect to the previous 2 posters: I said in the original post that I was moving, making this an incredible mess for me. just about everybody that paid me got their items sent and shipped. only 1 is pending to be shipped on monday (jperryss paid for Advance V.G. and it will be sent on monday)
for references please PM anybody that has done buisness with me. As for the previous 2 posters above me, I owe both and apology for not following back for a paypal address to get paid, however Sapphire has been requested by A LOT of people and I had it on hold for Bernie since it came as a request from him. please consider a sale final with me if I provide you the paypal and rest assured it will be shipped.

for anybody that cares I ended up moving within the same apartment complex (went from double to single but my brother is cool with me using the wifi since i am still within range. funny how life can work out sometimes)

again sorry for the inconveniences to those that did not get a followup I assure you it was either due real life catching up or because I gave first priority wait to some members of the forum. Bernie said that it was ok to just sell it any member of the board just about 2-3 days ago. so it is done being on hold.

also lowering the price of the PC engine DUO-R to 150 if you pick it up locally
