[Buy/Sell/Trade / NES In game reset board]

Hi all,

I'm putting together some NES IGR boards (from plans posted at https://github.com/borti4938/NESRGB-IGR).

It seems like you can't buy these anywhere assembled, so I'm trying to gauge interest if I decided to do a run of them, how many would be interested? I'm thinking ~$20-25 each plus shipping. They require an NES RGB board to already be installed.

This board lets you cycle through the various palettes, and do a short/long reset using your controller.. so if you're lazy like me, you don't need to get off your couch.

If you think you'd be down for one, let me know. ETA on the parts for my test batch is around the end of the month. If they work as expected, I'll do a give-away for 1 or 2. If there's enough people interested in buying one, I'll come up with some plans to do a run.

Cheers.

Randomly chosen winner is pukester

Thanks for playing, now I have a bunch of games I need to go try.

[Off-Topic / Re: Raffle: N64 universal RGB mod]

Thanks for the suggestions,

As far as the HDMI mod.. it's good. Is it $160 better than RGB through an XRGB... eh... I do like that you get proper scanlines at 1080p, and that you can de-blur some games.. but my n64 is probably the least played retro system I have, since I think the early 3D ages very badly. In hindsight, I probably should have stuck with RGB. If you play n64 all the time, then go for it.

[Off-Topic / Raffle: N64 universal RGB mod]

Hi all, been lurking the PC-E side of things for a while. Want to give back.

I have a universal RGB mod for the n64, (This one http://www.otakus-store.net/en/home/317-n64-rgb-for-all-kit-modding.html?search_query=n64+rgb&results=7)

Should work on any N64, comes with board and cable (had my N64 upgraded to HDMI).

Free to winner in Can/US. $5 shipping anywhere else.

Winner randomly chosen, enter by listing for your top 3 game recommendations, that aren't mainstream on the PC-E/NES/SNES/Gamecube or Sega Genesis. (only 3 total, not 3 per system  )

Cheers

Edit: Will chose winner on Friday.

No power to the system..  No red light. Adapter is good, and you hear that audio pop when you turn it on, but nadda..  Thinking an ESD Shock last time it was open or similar..  Not sure.

Just hope my RGB mod and everdrive are still ok.

All sizes included in that price?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: NES front loader]

Hi,

Looking for a beat to shit, red light blinking front loader NES (or motherboard only).

Recently fried my RGB modded frontloader, and would like to resurrect it.

Fleabay is going to run me $60-70, hoping I can do slightly better on here.

Thanks!

I think that's where mine is (still waiting for it to arrive)..

Looks like the round AV jack on the right side was replaced with one of those DINs used for RGB.

If thats the case, then I should be good?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Quick question with video out connections]

Hi all,

I have a Core Grafx II, it's been modded for RGB. If I pick up a briefcase unit, can I have the whole system powered by the interface unit, but still keep my RGB cable out the side of the CoreGrafx? Or do I need to mod the interface unit for RGB as well?

I don't much care if the cover can't go on while the cable is hooked up, but I'm hoping to avoid having to re-mod RGB to the interface unit..

Thanks!

Sign me up as well. Shipping to Canada. (Black please).

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: CD ROM necessary?]

Welcome
Sage advice: Give the coregrafx a few months, get a feel for the NEC world. You can keep an eye out for cheap briefcase parts in the mean time. If no luck and you like the world of obey, sell the coregrafx and tap up one of our reputable sellers for a refurbed briefcase or duo.
More sage advice: Ignore previous sage advice and dive in. Briefcase is sexy. I've never had a duo so can't speak on it's behalf but when I had the choice between beefcase or duo the beefcase spoke to me.
Buy me, I'm hot.

Haha. I just might.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: CD ROM necessary?]

I'm not against a beefcase if the price is right, but it's not worth paying more for one over a Duo.

That's pretty much the same thing I thought. I like the idea of a briefcase, but not if it costs more than a Duo :/

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: CD ROM necessary?]

What are your thoughts on my briefcase idea? Not terribly worried if it may need to be maintained.. I can do cap / gear replacement myself. Are there any games I can't play on the briefcase?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Complete PC engine Briefcase setups for sale. Plus Some DUOs :)]

Also Pm'd

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: CD ROM necessary?]

Thanks for the tip. But I can't seem to find those units for <$300. Is that just the going rate now?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / CD ROM necessary?]

Hello all!

First post, so be gentle.

Picked up a CoreGrafx II off of eBay, bare unit only, already RGB modded. Can't wait.

Now that I'm doing more reading, it seems like a LOT of games were made for the CD attachment (I had no idea, I thought it was similar to the Sega Genesis/Sega CD setup.. where the majority was cart, and a minority on CD).

Anyway, I probably overpaid for the CoreGrafx, now I'm seeing that the CD Rom attachment goes for $100-150 on fleabay, and then I need a interface unit (seems $50-75), and Super System card ($25).. PLUS I need a controller.. (I prefer new for controllers, and the 3 button seems to be the best deal, even though the third button isn't ever really used). Shit. This is going to cost me more than a Turbo Duo, or R.

So, if I stick to Hu Cards only, am I really missing out? Or should I get my feet wet there, and then just say fuck it and grab a Turbo Duo vs upgrading my CoreGrafx?
