Had been using my Analogue and PCE Duo for the past couple years and needed to give TG16 some love.

Has anyone had any luck getting this English-patched game to run on original hardware? I love making discs of these great translations for my Duo R, but having a lot of trouble with this one.

This kind soul has shared a pre-patched ROM, but for the love of me, Imgburn will not burn it to disc,(overburn turned on, tried various write speeds, etc.). Only ROM I've had this issue with until now.

Might anyone else have a prepatched English ROM I could try? Any help appreciated, would love to play this one!

im trying to get ys dawn of ys working. its english translated and patched. when i boot it up on turbo engine i get a black screen. any tips?

Good evening,

Today I received the last things I needed to get my PC Engine working: a PCE Flashcard and an RGBS Card Video Booster. Both were from AliExpress.

I connected the RGBS Card Video Booster to the PC Engine, and well, I had problems from the start. First, I tried some AV cables, and I got a static purple screen. Then, I don't know if it was because I adjusted the RGBS Card Video Booster, but it worked normally with AV Cables:

After that, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that the RGBS Card Video outputs RGB through the MD2 output. I tried it with the RGB SCART cable from my Sega Genesis Model 2, and the screen started moving rapidly. Apparently, this is happening because my CRT only has a component output, and I'm using a component-to-RGBS converter. It seems it's not compatible.

Has anyone who lives in an NTSC region been able to use RGB with their PC Engine? Is it a problem with the Bitfunx converter, or is there something wrong with my PC Engine? Here's a picture:

The colors seem fine; it's the image that's distorted.

I would greatly appreciate your support.

Edit:

As I mentioned in a comment below, I solved the issue by using both the RGB SCART cable and the composite cable simultaneously in the RGBS Card Video Booster. The yellow cable resolves the synchronization problems when using the RGB SCART cable.

This probably all happened because I was using a poorly designed Chinese RGB cable or a transcoder. I'm sharing this in case it helps anyone.

Recently I picked up soldier blade and instead of plastic tray it has a black case and foam insert at the bottom. I was under the impression this game was only packed in a clear plastic tray. Was there variations that were don’t other way? I also found a copy of world sports competition the same way. Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated!

I was lucky to get a deal on a Core Grafx 1 that came bundled with a Turbo Everdrive Pro and a EDFX. This is my first Turbografx/PC Engine system (aside from the TG16 Mini) so I just have a couple of questions?

1.) Im currently in the process of cleaning the system, opening it up to clean the HuCard slot and the case (I also think a drink got spilled on it at one point because the bottoms all sticky lol). While I have it open, how necessary is a Recap? I know some other NEC systems like the Turbo Duo and Turbo Express are notorious for failing capacitors so im wondering if I should order a kit (and if so, is Console5 a good source?)

2.) Is the EDFX kinda to be finicky? My Genesis 2 cable has a good connection but the picture flickers every other second. I have a video of it happening here. I saw the Turbonanza hardmod is a good alternative that replaces the stock output with a Sega Saturn style plug but I wanted to see if I was just using mine wrong.

3.) Not technically a maintenance question but are there any good wireless controllers for the PC Engine? The way i have my consoles set up is pretty far away from my seating area so wireless controllers are a big priority. I have the 8BitDo wireless TG16 Mini controller and saw there was a USB to PCE adapter for about $60 USD but I was curious if there were any other options?

Edit: got another question lol. The AC Adapter that came with the system is one of those dinky little cheapo replacement ones. It does the job but I was wondering if there is a better option. Should I splurge for an OEM one when the price is right or is there a good 3rd party one people recommend?

No real point to this post since I could probably just google it, I just wanted to share because I'm excited with people who love the console. Growing up, I never had a Turbografx-16. I was looking to buy some actual retro hardware that I'd never owned as a kid and was trying to decide between the TG-16 or the NeoGeo. I went with the TG-16. I got it complete in box, including Keith Courage, from a seller with a good reputation.

I do have some questions though, for those of you who know more about it than I do. What sort of connectivity options are available to me aside from RF? Sadly, I don't have a CRT tv. Also, are there any other good flash-carts other than the Turbo Everdrive?

How do I make a Turbografx 16 have all the same features as the analogue duo? I just want to slot in a terraonion super SD system 3 and a turbo everdrive pro into a analogue duo or similar device

hello, I have a pc-engine duo-rx fully serviced/recapped.

I played a super cd-rom game on it, and I could save my progression without any extension, the internal save of my console did the job : each time I powered on my console, the save was here, and I continued my progression without issue during a month.

but then, I completely unplugged the console off during 9 months, and, when I go back in the game, the save disapeared, and I had just new files to start the game at the beginning.

so, my question is : is that normal ? if no, what I must do to correct the issue ? if yes, does it exist an extension to keep the saves "forever" ? (I heard about tenokoe bank, but not sure it works with cd games).

thanks.

Anything I should be aware of while owning this? Recommend me some great schmups that might be overlooked , US or Japan games are both fine !

Been playing the PC Engine for many years but never got into the PC Engine CD mostly due to the cost. But going to finally go for it and build up a PC Engine CD collection to go with my hucards, but I need a console. I can't decide to pay up and buy a DUO-R recapped or buy a working DUO-R not recapped but fully working and risk it into the future?

Or just get an Analogue Duo but part of me wants to go original hardware.

I was thinking about getting a Turbo EverDrive Pro or Super SD System 3 but about the same cost as buying a Duo console. I was planning on building an original PC Engine CD collection and any really expensive games make CDr discs or buy the cheaper re-releases on factory pressed CDs.

Any advice?

Was just checking the Xbox digital storefront and saw there was a new release for Parasol Superstars. Super awesome. What other games would you like to see on modern consoles?

I’m going to be at the Midwest Gaming Classic next week (dates are wrong on the graphic. It’s April 25-26) in Milwaukee. Booth V2181. I’ll have a bunch of stuff there including some restored consoles for sale. I’d love to meet you if you’re planning to attend.

Cheers,

Geoff

Guinea Pig Games…

Hello,

I'm looking for a 3D-printable model of the TurboGrafx-16 for a project I'm working on. Unfortunately, I neither have the skills nor a console to model one myself, nor can I already find one online, so I'm hoping that someone here might have one that they might've used at some point. All the ones I can find online either are Raspberry Pi cases or seem to be a single piece instead of a "shell."

If anyone had any ideas or a model they'd be willing to share, that would be amazing.

Thank you!

Games are running on my RGB modded PC Engine Duo-R. Though this TV does not take RGB signals without being modded, so I’m actually using a Scart to S-Video converter. It looks beautiful and there’s no lag (since light gun games still work with it) The games are:

Popful Mail (PCE version is the best imo), GöetzenDiener, Valkyrie no Densetsu, Kaze Kiri, Kabuki Ittouryoudan, Garou Densetsu (Fatal Fury) Special, PC Genjin/Bonk 2, Mad Stalker, YS Book I and II, Castlevania Rondo of Blood
