TG-16/TE/TurboDuo Discussion / Re: Games you would like to see made for the Turbo?

Put the shopkeeper's voice from Winds of Thunder into Lords of Thunder, but keep LOT's narrator-free opening cinematic.

EDIT:  I don't think it's that simple, but how about replacing the Japanese track with the American one? Someone replaced the music in Gate of Thunder, so I know it's possible.

EDIT 2:  It was that simple!!!!!  At least in an emulator, anyway.  I don't know how exact things would have to be on real hardware.

I never knew that about the Ys dub! Thanks!

Yes, I think the English voice acting in DE II is good.

So, it's all a money thing again, eh?  Way of the world!

EDIT:  Still, I think anyone here could do a better job.  Just act natural when you say the line!

Probably a combination of money along with maybe some laziness? Hiromasa Iwasaki said he was one of the few at Hudson that had a good grasp of the English language. So all the others tended to think that everything sounded good and he really didn't have any say because of not being high enough in Hudson to object to every dub.

Last Alert is probably my favorite dub on the system.  On a scale of 1-10, it underflows and hits 255.  You can't hire my feelings, indeed.

Ys 1 and 2 is my favorite "good" voice acting.  Nothing really new to be said on that one from me, I think.

Most disappointing?  Somehow John Madden.  I'm far from the biggest fan of Football, but this one really should've had more dialog.  You'd think with the license they would've had him saying a bunch of his, uh, Madden-isms.  "That was a good pass, but at the end of the day it's the team with the most touch downs that wins" or whatever.

Huzzah!  Congrats on fixing another system!

Out of curiosity, what're the blobs of gray stuff that look like clay?

That gray stuff is inside all Express and GT systems in that one spot. That's where the Power jack and other related parts are located. Probabaly to insulate those parts from accidentally grounding out against the rear of the stock screen.

LOVE the remark at the end of the Valis II episode of PCE Power:

Japanese game publishers: "Let's do an extensive talent search for a voice cast for our game."
American game publishers: "Who's in the office today?"

Thanks!!! I'm very happy right now. Regarding the gray stuff,I think is an epoxi glue. It came with the PCB.

Saru is the guy that did FX Unit Yuki.  But ignore becker; that's just the latest alt from nintega, a perpetual assclown troll.

There's certainly nothing wrong with posting the videos here, as I'm sure a few peeps are not aware of them.  I just need to decide to watch them, rather than rewatching some sitcom for the umpteenth time.

All is working well now. The R718 is (very) tiny 820 ohm resistor as you can see from the smd marks (821).  So, another (turboexpress) that doesn't bite the dust 

Thanks!!
