Will the portables be in it, or is this "consoles" in the strict sense?

Hey, get some Novus cleaner. You can get 1&2 and use that,along with a buff cloth and a normal eraser. If you work hard at it you can usually remove light to medium scuffs, or at least make them much less noticeable.

I think that the Duo looks cool with the scratches/ battle scars.

Thanks for the suggestion PCEHell - I tried some things but found out that toothpaste and a bit of scrubbing with a toothbrush cleaned up all of the scuff marks.  I've re-shot the scene with the cleaned up DUO-R and looks much better.

[PCEngineHell]

Looks alot better man,good deal.

[PCEngineFX]

WOW... I am very happy how the film is turning out so far (I am 2/3 through the edit)...my primary goal this time around was to create a moving, beautiful work of art and I believe I have succeeded.  New screenshot below:



FYI, the bluish "flare" seen in these shots is intentional (as a "highlight flare").

[Sparky]

works of freak'n art man... & that flare is looking amazing, just curious can you get different colours out of the flare? like golds or deep reds?... but the blue looks hot.

nice font choice as well, for future projects this is a great resource... http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=601
lots of nice options here for ya

[PCEngineFX]

Yep, I can make the flare any color I want:



And dafont.com ROCKS - thanks for the link!

[Sparky]

I really thought you controlled the flare with the camera  !!! anyway the blue is so much better
saaaweeeet!!!

I like to watch this about once a week.

Good job!

 

[Ultra Luigi]

Aaron, outstanding job man. I loved it! Do you think you'll ever make any desktop backgrounds out of this, just like the picture you have on the first page of this thread? I loved the Turbo Memoir ones that you made, and I still use them.

[PCEngineFX]

Hi Ultra Luigi,

Yes, I can make some desktop backgrounds out of this (will put them in the Turbo Memoirs site).

I also want to do sequel video of sorts with the same footage which I might have up early next week....so watch for it.

[Ultra Luigi]

Great! I'm looking forward to it.

[Paul]

brought some tears to my eye lol it is sad how good systems come and then go without being fully supported. Nice vid

[PukeSter]

Well made tribute, but why so sad? The PC Engine still lives in the hearts of all of us

OBEY PC ENGINE!!!!!!
