Title: Hello!
Post by: UglyJoe on September 21, 2011, 02:46:31 PM: Didn't see an "introductions" thread, so I figured I'd make a thread for myself.

I go by Ugly Joe. I'm the admin over at Famicom World. I've had a passing interest with the PC Engine for a while now, but I'm just starting to get into it. I bought a HuCard lot (http://i.imgur.com/UnfnC.jpg) over at FW, so now I'm on the lookout for a console to play them on. I managed to fry two Famicoms before I was finally able to play FC games, so I'm hoping to absorb enough info from here to avoid any PC Engine casualties.

Ugh, I suck at intro posts. Nice to meet you all!

we dont fry consoles, but we do fix-em.

we also offer region mods to use jap hardware on us games and us hardware on jap games.

so have fun looking for a console and remember even if it doesnt work, most of the time it can be fixed.

Welcome! I like the FW website, but it hasn't seemed to help me on my Twin Fami issues. Those disc drives are a pain!

The best FDS repair guide that I'm aware of is over at FamicomDiskSystem.com (http://www.famicomdisksystem.com/tutorials/fds-repair-mod/belt-replacement-adjustment/). The drive in the Twin is the same as the drive in a plain old FDS, so the guide does apply. The drives are a huge pain in general, though. I was sure to buy mine "guaranteed working" from a trusted forum member.
