Hi... I am new to these forums and to PC Engine.
I have loads of consoles, almost all of them but have never had a PC Engine. Anyway, decided to get one.
Things i have bought:
Turbo Everdrive - Arrived a couple of days ago
NTSC PC Engine - Waiting for it to arrive
PC Engine Controller - Waiting for it to arrive
I have also made a very basic AV cable which i will use on the expansion port of my PC Engine.
Can't wait for everything to arrive.
Cheers
Chris

Welcome to the forums dougal!

Make sure you get yourself some sweet PCE homebrew!
-
Welcome aboard!

Thanks guys!
Yes i'm really looking forward to the PC Engine to arrive as i'd love to play some of the new homebrew games which look really good. Of course i also want to play the classics :)
My PC Engine is arriving with a controller and some Be Ball game and Street Fighter II. The games are not important as i have the everdrive. It does not come with a power supply but I guess i can use a universal power supply for now.
Eventually i'll buy a 6 button controller too.

Be Ball is a great Turbo/PCE exclusive.

Welcome Welcome. ENjoy the PCEness.

Welcome new guy!
That fancy flash cart is nice but make sure to take time with the games and not just flip through the roms. A lot of games take some time to get into but are a lot of fun.
Also make sure to buy some real hu cards of the games you like. PCE games are so awesome and some of the coolest games to have a collection of on your shelf!

Welcome to the obey nest :)
and don't you forget about to buy a lot of games for ya lil PCE.

welcome to the PCEFX jungle!
try to play SFII with the regular controller, it's more fun that way.
I agree with the others. get some real hueys. Get shmups.
I wasn't too much into shmups until I played Parodius on the PCE.

Comrade, welcome. YOU MUST BUY A PCE PACHINKO CONTROLLER IMMEDIATELY.
No, you don't.

I'm sure i can manage SFII with the normal 2 button controller because i'm used to the Mega Drive version with a 3 button where you have to press START to switch between punch and kick ;)

Btw. are you from UK? :)

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I think i'll enjoy theses forums a lot :)
Now what i really hope is that when my PC Engine arrives, being a Japanese NTSC version I will be able to use it right away. If the instructions I found on the net of turning an AV cable into a PC Engine/TG16 cable by cutting off the plugs on one end and making 2 wires for sound, one for ground and one for video and then attaching female pins to them so that they can be plugged into certain pins on the expansion port works then i'll be good to go ;) Eventually I'll go the RGB way.

Nope.... Malta

ok thx, just wondered because of you handle sound kinda UKish to me^^

Howdy Chris and welcome! That reminds me, I still haven't bought a Turbo Everdrive myself... My attention's gone all over the place, to other things and I know I gotta get one soon at the $85 rate before the creator sells out and the eBay gouging begins (we already saw an example, a guy trying to sell it for double).

Oh hai!
