But I want to know something: will the sound work all right if the TurboGrafx CD is attached and its A/V outs are used?

It should, since the Turbo supplies direct audio out to the CD interface unit. However the mod would not apply to any sound made by the CD (either redbook audio or ADPCM).

I weep for the future of these boards sometimes.

I found Giga Wing 2 compl33t for $10 and some change today, except my DC wont read it unless I throw the ol' Utopia boot disc in first. Anyone know whats up with that? I'll be damned if the disc is a bootleg, because a hell of a lot of effort would have gone into it if it were. My DC is very quirky but this one just has me confused.

They also had Gunbird 2 there for $15. Kollision, or anyone else, is that one worth jumping on or should I let it lay?

Gunbird 2 at that price is a DAMN good deal... Great game too!

As for Giga Wing 2... dunno what to say, but I can tell you that Giga Wing 1 will not work on my sports Dreamcast and it is a very quirky one too.

Any chance you might be able to upload some samples? I'd love to hear it. What do you mean by "smoking"?

I'll do samples and stuff, and "smoking" as in "in progress", like how bonfire is made, first you have lot of smoke, then fire (and lot of smoke, particulary when burning tires :P).

Ooh, I'd like to see the Sound Mod! I've got a TurboGrafx here that I'm modding to the max, and I'd love to try out your mod. But I want to know something: will the sound work all right if the TurboGrafx CD is attached and its A/V outs are used?

The TGCD gets its sound from the back connector and its affected also by the mod so things should work fine since there won't be any signal level differences.
I wanna pick up a TGCD with bad caps(so it'd be cheap, hopefully) sometime...

That might be tough, though not impossible. I haven't heard of many TGCDs with bad caps. They're fairly robust. The Duos (especially the US versions) can have bad caps, though. I have heard that the TurboExpress can also have bad caps. But then again I am not the TurboGrafx capacitor authority.

Oooh, be careful with the TurboGrafx CD, TmEE! They suffer from a problem much worse than bad capacitors: a broken gear. And the problem is: unless you mold a gear yourself, you can't fix a TurboGrafx CD with a broken gear unless you get a KSS-220a CD mechanism and Dremel the shit out of the TurboGrafx CD case and the KSS-220a itself.

[TmEE]

so Duos had bad caps not TGCD...

that gear problem sounds bad...

and what was this nice TG16/PCE/etc. related forum ?

[Ace]

That would be PC Engine FX. It's from them that I found out about the bad gear problem in the TurboGrafx CD, the leaky capacitors in the TurboDuo/TurboExpress, and I became a member(under the same username as here on Sega-16) to ask about a weird problem I was having with my TurboGrafx CD Interface Unit(happened to be because I was using a power supply with a grounding pin). You should go there for anything TurboGrafx/PC Engine-related; they're VERY helpful.

Now, I did see a TurboGrafx CD capacitor replacement chart, so there may be a few instances of dead capacitors, though they don't seem to be as rampant as with the TurboDuo and TurboExpress(my TurboGrafx CD's caps are all intact, both on the CD-ROM drive and the Interface Unit).

I have news for you, after all this TG/PCE talk i decided to hook my PCE SCD2 for some Valis action, soon as i started to play i felt something was wrong with the audio coming out of my Super CDrom 2, ( the cd music was at lower volume as usual and i hear some noise too) so i unplug the A/V cable from the cd unit and hooked it directly to the Coregrafx A/V port and the audio quality improved, so it seems that i have dead caps on my SCD Rom2, and is a fact that not only Duos suffer from this, a friend of mine have an old PCE+CDrom2 and he had the same problem until he got all the caps from his cdrom unit replaced.

[Joe Redifer]

Sometimes on my TurboGrafx CD, the gears will skip teeth, at least that's what it sounds like it happening. This only happens when it is seeking and is pretty rare. It has been doing this decades.

[Iron Lizard]

Skull Monkeys for PS1. $3. Very odd game. Seems to be worth the 3 bucks.

[Joe Redifer]

Oooo Gunner's Heaven! I've always wanted to try that.

All the games are in Japanese but some feature English text in them, so it's pretty easy to navigate around the menus. There are no Playstation games playable on the Wii, only on the PS3 and PSP.
If you got a PS3, just follow this guide on how to make a Japanese PSN account: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthre...twork+japanese, and you can get Japanese PSN point cards here: http://www.shopncsx.com/
