Title: New to forum, and PCE/TG16!
Post by: Retro Nick on February 16, 2013, 03:50:35 PM: Hi Everyone! I recently purchased a PC-Engine Duo from Japan, and had it recaped. After watching every episode of Turbo Views, and the Turbo specific episode of GameSack, I decided that I HAD to get one. It's a shame that this thing bombed in the US like it did. This is one amazing system.

BTW: www.game-tech.us (http://www.game-tech.us/) did my recap, and did fast, excellent work, so he gets a free plug from me. Thanks akaviolence!

I even use CD-R's for certain games, but make sure they are 1:1 rips and not those shitty mp3/iso tracks. Even wav/iso's give issues. The toc fixer program helps if you do get a game that has issues found here. http://www.necstasy.net/. Anyways welcome to the forum and congrats on the purchase of a great system. By the way what games are you mainly into? If it's shooters then you got the right system! :D

I only use .bin + .cue rips. I don't deal with the other crap. I learned that when I bought a Sega CD about a year ago. So far, so issues. I've always loved platformers, but shooters are are really growing on me, hence the purchase of this system. I would really appreciate recommendations for other CD shooters that that arn't GOT/LOT.
