Gentlemen,

we can rebuild it. We have the technology.

let's help wilsonw111 rebuilding a pc engine!!

to do list:

- getting the complete schematics
- getting gerber data
- getting a complete BOM
- getting the parts
- do it!!
- play it!!

if anybody has informations or access to above listed items, be free to add your knowledge, skillz and experience.

let the project "PCE no Fukkatsu" begin!

Like a FPGA based PC Engine or something??

right, but more like 1:1 duplicating the real hardware as it is.

You haven't seen Ki's (Kenshiro) website? He already has a working 6280 and PSG on FGPA. He stated work on a VDC and VCE too.

never seen. post it

:edit: ah that KI. i have seen something from him. but that was not based on original HW.

Get somebody to design a modern looking Core Grafx style case and an SD card slot might be nice for .pce and .cue files.

=).... thanks for the post Tatsujin, I'm really looking forward for this gerber,, at least it will help me to get a Started on the circuit board.
Will get my engineers to do prototypes base on the orginal FR1or2 material,
needs to do material cut; then drill it (with our 300k dollar Hitachi drilling machine), then etch the circuits and rout out the board outline.. this is gonna be real fun.

and I'm gonna try it on a IMS metal material to make a heat free PCE hah~
looking forward to see that gerber~~~

wilsonw111 · 02/18/2010, 01:32 AM

hmmmm I'm think I need to make a few of these samples.. and which one of you have soldering equipments at home to do this assemble trial? maybe i can mail out some samples to you all for everyone to try at home =) ahahha, i'm think a bit ahead,, need that gerber file first

WILSONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN...ever find any new info?

Hey guys, I sorta just walked in on this conversation, but I have often wondered if complete schematics for the PCE/TG16/CD/Duo were available anywhere. Obviously they're not being manufactured anymore, but you figure NEC or some video game repair facility would have some old prints lying around or something.
That would be rad.
