The PC-FX Holy Grail ...
« on: April 30, 2015, 05:33:31 AM »
With the very kind help of a friend ... the Holy Grail of the PC-FX world is finally in sight!  :wink:

Now ... just praying that the seller didn't kill it with a jolt of static when he took it out of the box to take the photos.

Nice!  It's such a monster of a card.

Well, I may have been very, very lucky that you thought that ... it might have been exactly the card that you saw that I'm getting! But I think that you may be wrong.

As far as I know, it will play any existing PC-FX game that's put in your PC's CD drive.

It may play a PC-FX image from its CD-emulation ... but only someone that has already got one would be able to say for sure.

I know that anything created with the GMAKER/GMAKER-PLUS development software was deliberately limited to not run on a real PC-FX ... but by using a recent GCC and liberis, and avoiding Hudson's old GMAKER libraries, I'm hoping that we shouldn't have that limitation any more.

Probably, being cryptic is fun because it warps the other person's thoughts to match your own, but that's assuming they can figure out one's nonsense in the first place!

I was wondering if 16bitgium had encountered a loose copy of "Same Game FX", and not a full PC-FXGA.

Hahaha ... Doh!  #-o

That's probably exactly what he meant. His broken English and my headache aren't a great combination.

In case you haven't seen this already: http://daifukkat.su/pcfx/download/fxload.html / http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA007898/pcfxga/download/fxload.html

I saw it a few months ago on the original hp.vector.co.jp page when I was first researching programming for the PC-FX ... but I couldn't understand what it was for ... just that it only listed 4 real PC-FX games, and only 2 of them were fully working.

Is that the only/best solution for running PC-FX CD copies (rather than original discs) on the PC-FXGA?

I'm obviously going to have to read up on everything again in order to set up a working Win95 (or 98 if possible) system.

Wow!!!

Perhaps this should go in the "Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much)" thread ... but I just got notification that this sold, and I can't believe it ...

Did someone really pay $456.78 for a PC-FX GA???  :shock:

Probably.   People are absolutely retarded.

Good stuff though.  Mine's a PC98 card, and I don't have the machine to hook it up to anymore, so I just pet it sometimes and leave it where it is.
