So, I got a spare copy of Winds of Thunder. No spine card, but it does come with the registration card, some other leaflet and a flyer. I was looking to sell it in the B/S/T thread, but honestly I have no idea what to ask for it, as I don't usually sell games. Any suggestions?
Hope this is the right place to ask.

I would check sold listings on ebay to get a ballpark price

Yeah, I did that, but it seemed a bit inappropriate to start asking eBay prices on here.

We'll see how this goes...

Great work, ganbareneopokekun.
so i made these back in 2011 and i have no clue what to do with them and instead of letting them die in my dropbox i thought.. why not upload them here
some of these went into jquery demos, which can be seen here

test3/
test4/
i also made this vector image to laser a mac mini case (which i never did).
(red layer shows mac mini dimensions)
Those are gorgeous, ganbareneopokekun! Really nice. Did you do any of the SuperGrafx ?

This will probably be my last cross post, but if you're looking for a reason to whip through Rondo again, chase some willows in Cotton, or smash some faces in Splatterhouse:

Dug up my TurboDuo the other day and have read about the need to replace its capacitors 'before it's too late'. Currently seems to be working fine, minus a fiddly AV cable.
Any idea where one might get this done?
Extra kudos if you know a place in or around Toronto.

He's in the US but I highly recommend KeithCourage on facebook and the PCFX forums.

He did an amazing job with my system and others on this forum.

Nice! I'll be sure to check out this guy's page if the need ever arises. I'm still waiting on my RGB cable from Sweden but can't wait to play my PC Engine soon.
Just got my pc engines back from Keith Courage
It took ages for me to get them back as he had to order some parts.
I needed a jailbar mod on both of them plus:
The core grafx was the most troublesome since it was an item I bought off an ebay auction years ago and the seller did some shitty work to it but I couldn't be arsed to complain or give any feedback back then and just accepted that it was a bad sale and that I was going to do some repair on it at a later date.
So anyway I wanted for the core grafx an S-vid mod and to repair the controller port and KC said there was more to it than just a faulty controller.
He's a man of few words and I'm sure he's backlogged with machines to fix but once you are up, it gets done.

Enjoying lots so far. Only minor annoyance are the jail bars, more egregious in some cases than others. Anyone have any experience/comments about this on their PC Engine?

Nope, no issues on that side of things. I did have one error after exiting out of Alien Crush on the TED though. I'll repost from krikzz's forum:
One thing I just ran into though was Error D3. I experienced this upon glitching at the end of score submission for Alien Crush. The first time I got to this screen the game faded to black and froze. Upon reset no files could be found in my TED menus. When playing the game again it didn't freeze at the score screen but after resetting I got garbled langauge in my menus and then the Error D3 screen. Note I haven't seen this screen before or experienced glitches with other games and upon a complete power off the menus are back to functioning as normal. Any help here? I'm using a SanDisk Extreme 16GB microSDHC UHS-1 Card for what its worth. Cheers.
I'll just have to chalk that one up to Alien Crush, the rom, some weird glitch, etc. I haven't been able to reproduce the glitch with any other game so not the end of the world I suppose. I'm loving the system otherwise; Soldier Blade is fantastic!
Edit: Resetting after Final Soldier score screen has frozen it on Disk init... screen. Hmm.

Yeah I had no issues getting everything onto my TED either.
Just thought I would post a link to a post I made in the thread that talked about Bonk (we should do a Bonk thread!)
Anyway, I went off on a tangent and thought that I would refer to this here because it shows how to identify if your RGB mod has been done fully.

no issues although I read first that you cannot put all the roms into the same folder so I split things up into japanese and usa games etc.
The only problem I've only had is that the HES musics files while some play perfectly about 80% play at incorrect speeds where it's just too speeded up
For those living in Maryland, there's an estate sale happening this weekend which has some Turbografx goods for sale.

How is it that Tengai Makyou has gone 27 years without a fan translation?
Like I can handle playing it in Japanese but I just expected it to exist.

Because it's on PC Engine, a console with basically no sales or exposure outside of Japan. Very few substantial transitions of any PCE games.

You could always sign up to the PCEngineFX boards and ask about a translation there. Xanadu 1 and 2 are currently being translated, and Valkyrie no Densetsu just got an english patch around this time last year.

Iirc it's something Victor Ireland (Working Designs, GaijinWorks) has always wanted to do, but one way or the other it just never materialized.
So it's not like there was a complete lack of interest to bring the game to the West.
What is he up to these days anyways?
Shin Johnpv

I think I bought my Duo off him.

Working on Summon Night 6 (physical PS4 and Vita release), and Class of Heroes 3 (pushing still for a physical PSP release).
Nice to see he is still doing his thing. I remember when he relaunched Sunsoft in the west back in 2009 or something, including Blaster Master Overdrive. While that game wasnt anything special, at the time I had very high hopes for him joining the retro-revival. Too bad nothing ever came out of that.
Wait, the disc based games right?
Shin Johnpv
Member
Xanadu 1 and 2 are disc based but Valkyrie no Densetsu was a hucard one if I remember right. So you needed to patch the rom and play it on either a Turbo Everdrive, or have a custom HuCard made.

Does anyone have a site for reasonably priced turbo everdrive covers? Stoneagegamer wants like $30 for a piece of drilled plastic.

New to the TG16/TD game. Always wanted one but couldn't afford it as kid. Snagged one on EBay with the original box in great condition from the original owner and a couple games. Works with my newly acquired TED too. My only problem is that it needs a recap. The original owner didn't even know about capacitor issues and admitted the thing was just sitting his closet for 15 years. Who do you all recommend? I paid a premium and want to have a trustworthy tech do the recap.

I'm using a trading cards album for the couple of loose HuCards I own. Pretty much a perfect fit.

Made sure it's connected properly?
I normally open up the controllers and give all the contacts and stuff a bit of a wipe otherwise it might also be the controller port..
Thanks for the replies and sympathy.
Yeah, I'm going to open it up later and check it out although I did go ahead and order a Hori Commander 2-button controller; not so bad at $30 USD shipped. Side question: should I have gotten the Fighting Commander? I see lots of praise for that one too. Regardless, if it's just the controller having issues I won't be that upset, but I'm more concerned it's something weird with the system. All of the buttons (minus the d-pad) simultaneously not working anymore definitely seems odd and I only got this system (and Turbo Everdrive) in the past couple months.

Well, I can confirm after cleaning the inside of the controller (q-tips and rubbing alcohol) that it is indeed working. So glad it isn't something internal with the system or TED. Still seems odd that all 4 buttons stopped working simultaneously but happy the issue is seemingly resolved. At worst, I now have a 2nd Hori Commander controller on the way Interested to see how the d-pad compares to the standard pad; would also love impressions on the Fighting Commander pad (or the 2-button) if anyone here has one. I don't really need the 6-buttons as I have Street Fighter 2 on nearly every system imaginable but if the d-pad and buttons are superior it could be worthwhile.
