10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

Just got back from picking this up today. Tested the system out and is running like a champ. Paid $400. Hope that wasnt too bad of a price. Picked it up off of Craigslist. The guy was really cool and said he's an engineer and that he worked at a company that made circuit and protoype boards. He had some friends in the production department and had them make some converter boards. They never finished em and he threw em in.  Pics are below. Anyone know if they can finish these? I already have a Duo so I'll probably be selling it and also any of the duplicate games to recoupe some of that money back. Maybe sell these joysticks too. Anyone know why they made a Flight stick for the Turbo? For Falcon?

Also is anyone going to The Classic Gaming Expo this weekend? Ill be there.

Im interested in those pcb boards. They look like maybe unfinished region switches or something. Any idea?

They are basically the diving board converter minus the HuCard socket, which sadly is the most important part.

Seemed like a PCI slot from a pc motherboard had the right pitch for such a thing.

Id gladly send someone one of these diving boards if they could get them going and id send it for free if they could make me one as well. Or if someone is interested in trading for anything Turbo or maybe a DUO or Express recap service hit me up.
