Where is the "So you can port it to Virtual Boy" checkbox option?

PC-FX seriously could use some more love. I voted I'd buy it if it didn't suck, but to be honest, I'd probably buy it even if it did.

Yeah, I'd probably buy it regardless too.  But we want to encourage something good!!

Like I said in chat, you should do some goofy FMV game first as a proof of concept. Convert Ninja Hayate or Road Blaster or something.

From my perspective...

I do not own a PC-FX. Not sure if I ever will. However checking yahoo Japan it seems a console can be had for relatively cheap imo.

If the game was along the type of games I enjoy most RPG's, dungeon crawlers I most likely would. If it was another platformer or shooter it's a rather large maybe, but this is rather subjective as I really enjoy some platformers and shooters.

The biggest thing holding me back is how I connect it to my computer monitor. Via XRGB-mini. I would hope I could connect it in a way with RGB or component so I am not looking at a blurry mess. My previous readings on this console suggested it can't be RGB modded. However I am unaware of component.

I voted yes if it's good.  My threshold for good is pretty low (liking Hatris says it all, no?), but I wouldn't buy just anything at any price.

I'd love to do art for any PC-FX related homebrew games so if any of you aspiring PC-FX devs needs an artist, let me know or send them my way. :)

Same here, but I would also pay for a translation of TI, Miraculum, Nirgends, Power Dolls, or one of the other great games.

Miraculum was getting a translation, last time I knew... of course, that was like... three years ago. :lol:

I went ahead and picked up a PC-FX from a domestic seller for a smidge under $200 shipped... shit just got real. :D

I voted yes if good. Normally I'd say the FX-sized user base is too small, but the FX wasn't just unpopular, it also has almost no good games....f*ck...almost no *games* at all.

Most people with a SNES would rather play Mario, but most people with an FX are dying to play anything. If it was a DX version of Mysterious Song or something of that quality I would finally buy an FX.

Would the Turbo/TurboCD or something get a downgraded port? I really don't want yet another console just for homebrew. With all the 8 and 16 bit systems getting homebrew, not sure we really need another failed system revived.

Welcome to the club!  :clap:

BTW ... you'll probably spend 99%+ of your time in Mednafen, anyway.  :wink:

Congrats!   I gotta get around to nabbing a few more PCFX titles myself.  Mine has been sitting for like, over a decade.  Do these have the same cap problems as their younger siblings?

Sure why not. Whatever it is, it should have cheesy voice acting.
