TG/PCE Repair/Mod Discussion / Re: Pc Engine GT Case

« Last post by pipi on August 21, 2019, 03:26:38 PM »

You mean the system shell, right?  That's gonna be a tough one.  Maybe Keith Courage or thesteve has one from a lost cause and unfixable system?  Or did jelloslug do 3D printed full shells?  I know he did the battery doors....

In any case, nice to see you here, cool to hear your GT is well used/loved, and I hope you find what you're looking for.   

Yessir, indeed I talk about the system shell.
I think that if I don't find one here...
It doesn't exist

I could also try some technique for reducing the plastic damage, maybe?
Did anyone try any technique to achieve such result like, for example, super smooth sanding paper?

In parallel I will wait for Keith Courage or thesteve to read this post, maybe I am lucky

Thanks for the help and the kind welcome.

TG/PCE Repair/Mod Discussion / Pc Engine GT Case

Hi all!

Very happy to read that somehow the forum is still alive

I hope you are all in great shape and that your Pc Engine - Turbografx are still pumping.

I was looking at my beloved and trusted Pc Engine GT and I saw that my case really took more than a beating in the last 20 years...
Came from Japan to Europe, went to US for fixing and back, always with me...

I would like to take its brains and put that juicy stuff into a case that is in more decent shape.

Does anyone have one for sale or knows where I might score one?

Thanks for your time and help.

Only a couple of the photos loaded for me though?

I dunno how the internet works...pics are on google and who knows how they deal with image hosting for forums. The link should be okay, right?

TG-16/TE/TurboDuo Discussion / Re: Game of the Month: August 2019 Valis II

Lol! I know the feeling. Happens to me a lot more in Valis 3 since the whole game is on ice apparently. Love the start of the sword in Valis games. Pew Pew! I got close to the end but did not clear it yet. Been super busy this month and have *gasp* also playing other games. I'll try a few more runs though. It has been nice giving this game a go again. It's been way too long.

PC Engine/SuperGrafx Discussion / Re: Core Grafx UK power supply advice please!

« Last post by Necromancer on August 19, 2019, 07:47:40 PM »

The mA is a bit high (1000mA instead of 800mA), but that doesn't really matter.  It's 9 volt, center negative (not listed but shown in the pictures), and enough amps, but it doesn't say what the tip size is.

PC Engine/SuperGrafx Discussion / Core Grafx UK power supply advice please!

« Last post by goregrafxuk on August 19, 2019, 03:44:09 PM »

Hi,

I live in the UK and I've just bought my first Japanese Core Grafx console.  I found some UK power supplies on eBay that say they can be used with the Core Grafx, but I just wanted to check that I can definitely use a 3-pin PSU like this, instead of using the original with a step down converter.

Example of a PSU I've found for sale that I'm thinking of buying - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/9V-DC-Mains-AC-Adaptor-Power-Supply-for-JAP-Core-Grafx-Console/143298772453?hash=item215d45bde5:g:LDYAAOSwBYddI2eG

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

Heh, that little white tube looks like the one I just picked up.  Only a couple of the photos loaded for me though?

Is that zenki on the PC-FX?

I do believe they ran Zenki. There are like only 3-4 games that work well at cons.
