My modest Turbob collection and just saying hello

[8bitForLife]

I completely forgot to introduce myself even though iv been a forum browser for a long time just decided to finally rereg and be active in the community. So hello. I'm a modest collector as i don't have the cash flow to collect like most folks but I do what i can.

I always wanted a turbografx since the first time i saw one in a mall on a large screen tv when I was a kid. But never got one as i already had an Atari and my mother got me a Nintendo. God how i wish i had gotten one when they were 99 bucks and games were uber cheap. I think about 10 or more years ago when i was 18 or 20 I dont remember really I bought a turbografx off ebay for a 100 bucks which included the cdrom + docking station system card 2.0 3.0 and Ys 1+2 and Neutopia don't really remember what else it had its been so long. The guy even sent me his Dracula x to burn and send back which i did. I then kind of lost interest after the cdrom stopped working after letting it sit for a year. Then Around 2008 2009 I got an rx which worked and picked up some games. Wish i had gotten some of the more expensive ones back then when they were cheaper. So after that the cdrom stopped working in the rx 2 years later. I was sad because of this so I found this forum.

I think back then repairing stuff was at its earliest and people were still finding stuff out about it and I bought a replacement laser to fix my RX. I got it and replaced it and it still didn't work. I sent it to Nathan Burnside who was a forum member here i do not remember his name on forum at all. He said he fixed it and sent it back and it still didn't work. I think it was because the pegs that hold the cdrom 2 of them were broke in transit i don't know. So  I lost interest and but it was always in the back of my head to get it fixed.

So i had to move to Kauai to take care of my grandmother. Packed up everything i owned and went. For shits and giggles i hooked up my rx to play ninja gaiden (awesome port btw) and played that and then i stuck in Winds of thunder and it worked and was kind of shocked but Dracula x still wouldn't work very good. So i looked up here some pot calibration stuff and got it have way working. I was pleased to say the least. I started reading the forums and talking to people and was suggested to send my rx to Thesteve and did. So that's were i am at this moment. Hes going to do region mod scart or component mod or s-video not sure which or if at all hes doing and hopefully fixing my laser to work correctly as it wouldnt even read a burned copy of rayxanber III but magic engine did just fine.

Welcome, 8-bit! Many of us are cash strapped retro gamers, so don't sweat not having the $$ to throw around like those on other forums *cough Neo-Geo.com cough*. Get that Turbo CD working again! It is a beautiful console and it's always fun switching those System Cards in and out.

Welcome !

Welcome, and I hope that you can get everything fixed up so that you won't be so bored anymore.

[roflmao]

Welcome!  You've got a great bunch of games already!  Gaming in paradise.  When the Turbografx was released I lived on Oahu.  I hope to retire on Kauai (ideally  by the time I hit 40 ).

Welcome, comrade.

I will gladly take the US System Card 3.0 off your hands. You will send it to me ASAP.

I tried to buy 3.0 back in the day... I kept calling and asking when it would be "in stock" and they kept saying "not yet"...

THAT FRUSTRATION HAS BEEN BUILDING FOR 20 YEARS. HELP ME. PITY ME.

I am glad that you found this PCE sanctuary.
