It is amazing looking at something like this concerning a powerful little system like the TG 16. It was a great historical moment in video games. Especially if you lived through it. I was there, and it is still fun.

To be added 7/20/2010
PCE Super CD-Rom2 AC Adapter PAD-125
To be added 7/15/2010
- Controller PI-PD5 - Missing the GT battery pack. - The Illustration Booster is properly named Illust Booster (they must've run out of room on the box). - Missing the Photo Reader, which went with the Print and Illust Boosters. - Missing the Backup Booster; it's similar to the Backup Booster II but adds AV out. I might have it backwards, but I'm sure one of 'em has AV and the other doesn't. - There's an NEC clone (PDE-LD1) of the Pioneer LaserActive (CLD-A100). - Missing the LT's SuperCD adapter. - Missing the XE-1 AP controller. - PCE Tap 5p - PCE Tap 3p - PCE Battle Tap 3p
Fabled Components??? Super Grafx Power Console Tsushin Booster Duo SCSI Adapter Modem?
Wasn't there some sort of interface to connect the CD-Rom2 to a personal computer? Is this the SCSI adapter. I think it was fabled in the US too...
These were added to the 7/14/2010 version:
PCE side: Illustrator Booster? Backup Booster II Amplifier AMP-30 PC Engine KD863G RGB Monitor PC-Engine Shuttle Memory unit Memory Base 128 (PCE) KOEI Save-Kun (PCE, KOEI's version of MB128, sold with Nobunaga's Ambition: Lord of Darkness) Car adapter for JP Duo Duo Battery Set PI-AD14 Duo Battery PI-AD15 Avenue 6 Pad Avenue 3 Pad Battle Pad Stick PI-PD4 Stick XE-1 PRO Controller Adapter XHE-3 Mouse PI-PD10 RF Unit Cable P1-AN3 Wireless Controller Wireless Tap new branch: Pioneer Laser Active Pac-N1 new branch: Sharp X1 Twin CZ-830C

Well done, Henry. It's oh so sexy. 8)
Maybe I just missed 'em, but here's a few additions/corrections:
- Missing the GT battery pack. - The Illustration Booster is properly named Illust Booster (they must've run out of room on the box). - Missing the Photo Reader, which went with the Print and Illust Boosters. - Missing the Backup Booster; it's similar to the Backup Booster II but adds AV out. I might have it backwards, but I'm sure one of 'em has AV and the other doesn't. - There's an NEC clone (PDE-LD1) of the Pioneer LaserActive (CLD-A100). - Missing the LT's SuperCD adapter. - Missing the XE-1 AP controller. - I see the US taps but none for the PCE (except wireless). There's at least three: a five player, a three player, and one that's 85% new (tee-hee).
P.S. - Vacuum. :lol:

A couple more additions: there's a Hudson Backup Unit and there are at least two different system cards that came with Games Express titles. Also, if you're interested in adding unreleased goodies, there's the fabled SuperGrafx Power Console controller thingy, the Tsushin Booster (http://www.disgruntleddesigner.com/chrisc/TsushinBooster/) modem, and the Duo SCSI adapter.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will try to keep a running total of the changes needed in my 2nd post (4th on this thread).
Man there were a lot of parts and pieces for this baby!
Necro, if I open the door to fabled stuff, how many more parts are we talking? Wasn't there a modem concept and is the SCSI the proposed interface to use the CD Rom2 with a personal computer?

Thanks Zeta, I will take a look at the link. I've posted the latest update. Took off the super high rez version, but hopefully everyone can read this ok.
I've tried to add logos of everything (some are really obscure, and not sure if I have the right ones for everything.)
Also, I would like to add pics of the systems and different configurations (like the vacuum) before I go to press with the poster, so if anyone is willing to share pics of your setup, please let me know.

Title: Re: PC Engine Evolution
Post by: henrycsc on July 29, 2010, 01:09:19 PM
Updated again. I'm getting it close to where I want it. I'm going to get a test poster print run to check out the quality. In the meantime, I will post pics of my setups.
If anyone is willing to volunteer to provide me pics of their setups, that would be awesome! I'd rather not use internet copies if possible.
I would like to get pics of these setups: For the pics, if possible, I'd like to have a white background (maybe a sheet would work) with the hardware setting to the left of the box, similar to the Duo-R and Duo-RX pics on the poster now.
Boxed US Turbo Duo (I would like the hardware on the right of the box in this pic)
Boxed PC Engine Core Grafx Boxed PC Engine Core Grafx II Boxed PC Engine Shuttle
Boxed CD-Rom2 (Rom only, not with IFU) Boxed Super CD-Rom2 Boxed PC Engine Duo Boxed PC Engine Duo-R Thanks Opethian Boxed PC Engine Duo-RX Boxed PC Engine GT Boxed PC Engine LT
Boxed TurboGrafx PAL (I would like the hardware on the right of the box in this pic) Boxed Vistar (Hardware only would be ok, boxed is probably super RAER!)
These don't have to be boxed, but the setup would be cool! Sharp X1 Twin Laseractive with Pac-N1 or Pac-N10 NEC Laseractive with LD-Rom Monitor PC-KC863G
Executive Briefcase: PC Engine LT docked in the CD Interface Unit Vacuum: Supergrafx docked in the Super CD-Rom2 Thanks Opethian ??????: PC Engine LT w/adapter docked into the Super CD-Rom2
I'd also like to start a contest to give a nickname the PC Engine LT setup docked into the Super CD-Rom2 w/ adapter (I'm sure there's a nickname for it in Japan, but it needs one here.)
I will pick the nickname I like best from what you guys post here. The first person to post that nickname will get 1 free copy of the new poster when it's finished.
Rules: Only 1 nickname per member Nickname must be posted here by August 10th, 2010. If you are outside the US, I will ask that you pay shipping costs to your country. If you win, you can't complain about how long it takes me to get the poster printed (because, it still is a work in progress.)

That would be awesome Hoobs! If possible, can you take them with a white/uniform color background, like on a bedsheet or something similar? Thanks.
Which connection do you have between the LT and the Super CD Rom2? RAU-30 or the LT/SCD2 Adapter?

Wow, that is sweet Hoobs88!
Could you take a couple shots of just the PI-AD18 adapter as well? I haven't found many pictures of it floating around so it would be a good document of it! I would think that setup you have has to be one hardware holy grails for the PC Engine! Thanks so much for sharing.
I will gladly add this to the poster. Didn't get any suggestions for a nickname for this setup, but I'm personally fond of "Stapler", so unless you have a different suggestion, I'll stick with that.

Just a quick comment: I think that instead of bomberman, Arthur from Ghouls and Ghosts should be near the SuperGrafx, and Bomberman should be elsewhere.
Also, what about the power console add-on for the SuperGrafx (http://faberp.tripod.com/PC.htm)
I would really like to have one of these, btw
Title: Re: PC Engine Evolution
Post by: henrycsc on August 19, 2010, 05:43:29 PM
Rag, if you can get me the graphic of what you had in mind for Arthur, I can add it.
Give me a link to a high quality image and I can clean it up for inclusion.
I could also use another graphic from an RPG - Maybe Legend of Xanadu? I'm game for other suggestions.
The power console looks awesome, but doesn't appear to be an actual released item (like the Duo to PC interface). There were really quite a few prototypes that I'm leaving off just to keep the list manageable.
I'm going to have a test poster printed to check the quality, and if everything looks good, I will take orders.

Hoobs! More Awesomeness! Is the NEC also called the LaserActive? I can't quite make out the logo, but it looks like it may say LaserDisc Rom2. Also the LD-Rom2 logo on the Pac N1.
Isn't the LD-Rom2 Pac N1 different than this one? I was curious if the 2 different pacs actually had the same model number N1 and the Pioneer US was different as the Pac N10. (http://i.ebayimg.com/23/!B0D9qhQEWk~$(KGrHqF,!icEw5rbJUU9BMYtOy7vn!~~_3.JPG)

Henry, I think this image is exactly what I was thinking of for Arthur:
I'm learning a lot of this stuff too, so bear with me....
If I rob Arthur from the Daimakaimura cover, I'll need to place him strategically unless somebody can photoshop his right leg back in. Any other pics please post links....
I won't have room for too many characters so I will try to screen as appropriate.
Thanks for the suggestions.

These too: They are super rare, so I may be able to work with the pics I have, but If someone has it and needs time to take a pic, just let me know. Thanks Sharp X1 Twin NEC Monitor PC-KD863G PC Boy Vistar
Some other combos that I'd like to get a shot of - just because you can Executive's Briefcase + PCE LT Onager! SCD Rom2 + RAU-30 + PCE LT PEZ Dispenser! SCD Rom2 + PCE White
And silly combos if someone has the parts and is willing to take a pic just for the fun of it...: Eccentric's Briefcase! Briefcase + RAU-30 + PCE LT Canister Vacuum! SCD Rom2 + RAU-30 + SGX (I know they're silly, but they should work too, right?)

The SuperGrafx did come with its own unique controller... if a controller is available it should be included for consistency.
I've got a mint boxed US Duo I an contribute... give me a couple days unless someone else beats me to it.
EDIT~ I really prefer the Arthur image with the lance... but I don't have strong feelings on Adol. The one I posted is more regal, the one henry posted is more cartoony...

Post by: henrycsc on August 23, 2010, 12:00:15 PM
I'll redo the SGX... don't know why I left the controller off. Updated the poster with the system pics so far.
Rag, the Duo pic would be great when you get a chance.
I've used the Arthur image I found for right now.... may try to work on the box cover from the game. I would like the stuff to be representative of what was out during that time.
Some of the best graphics seem to be on the promo flyers for the game. If anyone has the flyer for Daimakaimura or has a scanned link and is willing to share it, that would be great!
I would like better graphics for some of the shumps as well if anyone has cool flyers/adverts/images for these.

Thanks Necromancer, I like that and will try to work with that one instead of the other I had.
Here is my attempt to rate the rarity of the hardware schemes and possible combos. I’d appreciate feedback on this as well. I won't add the "rarity" to the poster, just want it for my own information.
Items marked as (show off) are for combinations that are not typically associated with each other, but in theory should work. Many of these combos are untested, so if you would like to confirm that the combo works and have the parts, please do.
*This item requires a combo to play PCE or TG16 games and is not stand alone out of the original retail box. ~Only Duo and X1Twin systems can play both hucard and CD games right out of the original retail box without the addition of at least one other component.
Japan: PCE Common CGX Common CGXII Common SHUTTLE Uncommon *CD2 (Boxed 1st version Super Rare) *IFU Uncommon (Boxed 1st version Super Rare) *SCD2 Uncommon ~DUO Black Common ~DUO-R Common ~DUO-RX Common SGX Rare GT Uncommon LT Super Rare! *RAU Uncommon *LTADAPTER Rare *PIONEERLASERACTIVE Rare *PIONEERPACKN1 Rare *PIONEERPACKN10 Super Rare *NECLASERACTIVE Super Rare *NECPACKN1 Super Rare Was there and NECPACKN10? To play US TurboGrafx on the NEC?
SCD2 Combos: PEZ Dispenser SCD2+PCE Uncommon Upright Vacuum SCD2+SGX Rare Onager SCD2+RAU+LT Rare Stapler SCD2+LTADAPTER+LT Super Rare! Canister Vacuum SCD2+RAU+SGX Rare (show off) RAU isn’t needed Nunchackus SCD2+RAU+CGX Uncommon (show off) RAU isn’t needed (Not yet on poster) Spitting Viper SCD2+LTADAPTER+CGXII Super Rare! (Show off) LTADAPTER isn’t needed – INDEED! (not yet on poster) --- If you use the PCE White for this, you lose big style points and she’s just a Spitball
Laseractive Combos (these names feel somewhat uninspired - any suggestions?): Laser Pointer PIONEERLASERACTIVE+PIONEERPACKN1 Rare Laser Beam PIONEERLASERACTIVE+NECPACKN1 Super Rare (show off) Death Laser PIONEERLASERACTIVE+PIONEERPACKN10 Super Rare Laser Ray NECLASERACTIVE+PIONEERPACKN1 Super Rare (show off) Laser Gun NECLASERACTIVE+NECPACKN1 Super Rare Blazing Lazer NECLASERACTIVE+PIONEERPACKN10 Super Rare (show off)
US Combo: Hammerhead TG16+TGCDBASE+TGCD2 Uncommon
Mixed Combos (Mixed between different regions, because you can): Spotted Hammerhead TG16+TGCDBASE+CD2 Rare (show off) Othello IFU+PCE+TGCD2 Rare (show off) Technically, Othello can play with all of the IFU combos, but there’s got to be a limit…
Unlikely Combos: Does anyone know if the European TG16PAL+TGCDBASE+TGCD2 would work? Can anyone think of other combos that I might have missed? I thought that USTurboExpress + PCEGTTuner + RCAtoMiniplug + PCEDuo-RX = Dracula X Special Huey

Personally I love the Othello combo best. When I play that I feel safe too, since the JP IFU is feeding less volts required to the TG16. The otherway around, seems like the Hammerhead IFU is feeding more volts needed to the PCE CD.... so I've never wanted to try that.

Here's a pic of the NES one (http://www.videojuegoshoracio.com/images/CIMG4452.JPG)
I was looking through the July 1990 issue Video Games & Computer Entertainment and an ad for "The Ultimate Game Club" lists a "Zoomer Wheel" as a TG16 accessory for $39.99 used and $49.99 new...
The TGCD system was listed as $389.99 new at that time and the Turbo Express wasn't yet available.

Man Necro, sorry it took me so long to get the PCII on.
Here it is. This is the test print that I just ordered. Hopefully I will have the poster in a week or so. It will be about 24"x40"
To go with the PC Boy, add in the Jamiko PC-II IC Card System (DY-730) (http://moeroshop.net/images/large/28-08_05_2008/nec-PC-II-Card-system_LRG.jpg), a clone of the CoreGrafx I.

Before you print this thing, did we ever figure out if the TG-16 and PCE core systems can use any of each other's "boosters"? I'm sure it would look horrible, but I always wondered if you could shove a Core Grafx into a Turbo Booster Plus, or something like that.
Title: Re: PCE-volution * System Hardware Family Tree
Post by: henrycsc on September 03, 2010, 03:54:04 AM
I can confirm that these combos don't work. The interface between the Japan & US is a slightly different shape.
Also, the PCE is slightly thicker than the neck of the TG16 - it barely fits into the booster's slot, but you would really have to force it in place if the interface did work.

I've avoided the boosters in the poster because there are so many and I only have the US set. This is one UGLY combo.... If it did work This is one UGLY combo.... I'd dub it the Psychadellic Mushroom:

OK, good to know. I've always wondered about that.
I find it odd that you are leaving out the Boosters. I mean, sure, they aren't very relevant, but they are official 1st party devices that sold in decent numbers. Also, you were asking about the Zoomer, which is beyond irrelevant, if it exists or not.

I look forward to your name for the gangsta LT combo...!
gangsta LT? is there a way to hook a Super Grafx to the LT? (Gangsta's Briefcase has the SGX)
As for modded stuff (like your SCD2/LT), those are cool, but we would need to start a whole new thread for those. With a mod, you might actually be able to make
"Stairway to Heaven" (http://a.imageshack.us/img834/6752/p9050563.jpg) or "Son of Frankenstein" (http://a.imageshack.us/img811/2562/p9050575.jpg)

Post by: henrycsc on September 05, 2010, 04:45:56 PM
Hence the "with a mod" -- My point is that I am trying to stick to just using unmodded hardware that you can connect directly between components.
We discussed earlier if the LT-to-SCD2 adapter could be hooked up to the IFU-30. Once it was determined that it would need a physical modification, I nixed it from the poster.
Yes, some of my setups are silly (psycho's briefcase for instance), but it helps illustrate how much thought NEC put into the expandability of the PC-Engine and the multitude of system configurations that the consumer had.
Accessories are another story for the poster. I want to make sure that all released hardware is listed, but photos are only included for systems and for devices that allow the system to be expanded to add CD-Rom2 capability. There are so many possible iterations with the other accessories included, that the poster would need to be a book. In addition, finding photos of all the possible setups is not really practical.
If a setup listed in this thread doesn't make it to the top post, then it doesn't follow these rules.
My point of posting something like the "Stairway To Heaven" was that some evil genius probably could mod the interface and saw the "dome" off the PCE to possibly pull off making that combo work. Hopefully if someone ever does, they know what they are doing well enough to not screw up perfectly good hardware just to see.
2 great examples of modded hardware that isn't included: and of course the Region Modded options are now available as well.
There is one exception to this rule that I may decide to add in before final printing. We'll have to wait and see if it does.

Does the LT/SCDR2 adaptor fit into the RAU-30 (it must do)? Then you have a whole new load of double ridiculous sets ups. A step too far really.
Can we not come up with a slightly more hardcore name for the stapler (LT - PI-AD18 - SCRD2), it is physically a good comparison but doesn't do the holy grail status any justice at all. The LT itself looks a little like a stapler on its own anyway.
Here are some terrible suggestions, but which are a little more glamorous than stapler: "Darius Crab Arm" or "Holy Grail Crab" or "Mecha Snapper" or even "grey dragon lord"! Something like that...your names are way better....
And finally, if I may be so bold to suggest it, the sawn off stapler / dragon grail / whatever is still using 100% original NEC hardware unlike the (albeit awesome and impressive) hardware mods on the videos....
Title: Re: PCE-volution * System Hardware Family Tree
Post by: henrycsc on September 07, 2010, 12:30:56 PM
The whole point in naming it stapler was the fact that it is so impossibly hard to find. Such an ordinary common name is the most unfitting for a holy grail, that's precisely why I chose it. It brings the unattainable down to reality.
Yes, the RAU-30 setup works with the LT, and that is included now in the updated poster now that I have a good picture of that setup. I called it Onager (a much more regal name but a much more common setup... if an LT/SCD2 setup can be common). There are only a couple of "silly" setups left that I would like to include, but I have removed them for now so they don't cause clutter if I can't get a pic.
Nect, I tried to adjust the colors of the border to more closly match the TG16 logo at top. Hopefully that is going to work now. I'm hoping I will get the test poster by this weekend.

....As far as the RAU-30 + the SCD/LTAd.... yeah good luck finding someone with all those pieces for a pic. Technically, it would fall inside the guidelines of an unmodded setup, so if anyone has these two pieces and parts to connect on each end.... give me a pic and a name for the setup, and I will find a way to add it to the poster.... the more ridiculous the setup the better.... I would like to limit this to only one of these insane combos though (if I get any at all).
Since the LTSCDAd doesn't fit on the IFU directly, does it work on the tail end of the RAU? This may be a case where the only option is to put the RAU on the tail end of the LTSCDAd, which means it would have to be a SCD2 setup.... Can anyone confirm this?

LOL! Connecting two adaptors together is pretty daft, especially as I have reasons to suspect that signal quality may well be lost in all those (32?) pin port connectors - my RAU30 bust pretty quick if that's anything to go by... you mean connecting the SCDLTad to the the grey female end of the RAU 30, as opposed to the cheerful white 'faux pc engine' male inseminator end...?! I'm sure that would work cos the SCDLTad has a small 'male' end (!!) which goes up into the SCDROM2. The SCDLTad would never fit into the actual IFU 30 though cos it's too chunky, and would look absolutely awful in any case.
Title: Re: PCE-volution * System Hardware Family Tree
Post by: henrycsc on September 10, 2010, 11:30:48 AM
Yeah, it wasn't meant for the IFU-30, so I kinda figured it would have the same issue on the gray end of the RAU-30. Even my craziness didn't come up with the stacked adapters, but in theory it would work... losses and all! LOL
No poster in the mail today. I'm crossing my fingers that I will get it tomorrow.

The poster came today... I'm a little disappointed. The print on the silk turned out too fuzzy with the text and console images. I'm gonna check around with different printers to see if I can get a reasonable price on a paper print. If anyone has any suggestions on where to check, let me know.
The poster is 24"x40" but I think it would still be ok at about 22"x36" size.

What is this printed on, and why would you go with anything other than paper (except maybe Lambda Duraflex, which is expensive as hell)? I guess I missed that part of the thread.
Title: Re: PCE-volution * System Hardware Family Tree
Post by: henrycsc on September 15, 2010, 11:13:51 PM
The one I got is printed on silk. It's a lot cheaper and worked great for other stuff, but it's just not good for text (the finished fot works out to be about 12pt for the text inside the boxes.) You can read it, but it's not crisp - hence the reason I just got 1 test print.
The first quote I got for a paper would be $25 for a 24"x36" print, and I'm guessing it will cost a few dollars for me to ship, so I doubt many people want to pay $30 for a poster. (The silk print I could sell at half that price, but I want it to be right.) I'm going to check with other places and get specs for the paper and cost differences before I place any order.
I was thinking I would order 20 copies if I can get the final cost to be about $20. (which would be enough to cover everyone who has mentioned they want one + a couple extra).

Have you looked into any of the online on-demand printing services, like CafePress (which is what Mr. Nanto uses to sell his lovely Legacy Poster (http://www.cafepress.com/pcenginefx.260707543)). One of them ought to get you close to that price and handle shipping troubles for you too.

Paper sample came yesterday. It's gonna be sweet! I just need to do a little more editing before I order copies.
The posters will be a little under 24x36 and will be $15 + shipping (I think the poster tubes will be $5, but I will confirm and post in the first post).
I'm only planning on ordering 15 or so copies unless more people tell me that they want one (please send me a PM). I'll be placing the order on the week of September 26, so let me know soon if possible.

Why isn't that Duo RX something wackier? An Express getting its signal from an LT (hooked to an IFU with the ROM ROM amp via the RAU-30) would be the most hilariously stupid thing ever since the LT already has a better screen.
Of course, you'd probably have to photoshop that...unless Tats wants to take a picture, or one of the very few others who actually own all that crap.

If it's going to be on the poster, I think you should 'keep it in the family'. How about a TG-16 CD-Rom setup instead of the RX? (fwiw, I actually did this once, with a video camera to make the rca->tuner connection, so I could tape a gameplay session.)
And if that's fair game, I'd love to see the briefcase hooked to the LT.....sort of the Japanese version of this.
As for the name, how about the 'Notso Portable'?
Title: Re: PCE-volution * System Hardware Family Tree

Since the LT fits directly into the briefcase like a regular PC Engine, I'm sure it will be on the poster.
Title: Re: PCE-volution * System Hardware Family Tree
Post by: henrycsc on September 25, 2010, 09:58:28 AM
Yes, the standard LT/IFU setup is already on the poster. This is intended as the silliest getup. I did this BITD just to be able to tell everyone I could play a CD game on the express. I actually played about 70% through Drac this way, but it wore thin... the game's too much fun on the little screen.
The reason the setup was chosen this way
Express = Huey only!? Of course.... Duo-RX = Last of the line for the hardware..... :( Dracula X = Often considered the system's greatest game (Insert your own opinion)
What do they have in common? "X", so that's why I chose them the way I did. Maybe not as fun as Tat's version of the Drac X Special Huey, but I'm guessing more people have a Duo and and Express/Tuner than do any of the actual special hueys.
BTW, when I played through BITD, I hooked up the TGCD to the Express the same way.
You actually do get Audio and Video with the RCA to Miniplug, but of course, the express will only serve as a monitor, and you will need to use the controller on your SCD setup to actually play.
Just a novelty, but then again, so is the poster!

I'm going to remove the "system card" for the PC II
I can't confirm that this system is compatible with a CD Rom, but the image on the box shows a system card in the unit. I would think the PC Boy is a brother to this unit and that one is 220V - wouldn't that make it incompatible with the IFU-30? Not to mention, this is probably PAL as well.
Isn't there a similar issue with trying to connect a PAL/220V TG16PAL to a US TGCD base?
Does anyone know if the electrical or broadcast issues would for sure eliminate this possibility?
I'm also trying to do some final cleanup. I will be adding the LD-ROM2 logo since they are part of this family tree.

Thanks for the great video of the poster! Glad you like it. I will post the video in the top link as well.
Guys, I'm down to 5 posters left. I doubt I will order a 2nd printing unless I had enough requests for 20 more.
Thanks again for all the orders!

Good news, hennler!! The poster finally arrived safe and sound!! :dance:
I haven't opened it up yet because I want to wait until i get at least a proper frame for it, if not 'mount' it. Once either of those things happen I'll post a picture of it in all its glory. :mrgreen:

Glad to hear it finally arrived.... crazy postal service. You might want to properly measure it before you buy a frame, the size I listed is approximate, plus all those metric frames up there won't fit exactly anyhow. :)

Henry I love the various nicknames for the PC-Engine setups, the Drac X Special Huey, and the fact that Arthur is proudly representing the SuperGrafx!!
