    A classic game. Nice one.

      My local CEX has a very poor selection of PSP games (unsurprisingly really), so I’m going to have to go further a field (L’pool) to see what I can find. In the interim, I’m scouring eBay for any bargains to be had.

      Bargain!!

        My latest project, in need of repair - just ordered a replacement middle gear for the CD-ROM2 unit.



        Already had the PCE and a System Card 2 - believe I can use a Turbo Everdrive as a System Card 3 so I can play more games.

          Lovely! Do you have the lid too?

            This is still the best looking version of the PC Engine to me. Just gorgeous.

              Agreed, it’s a lovely looking setup.

              Yup, got the lid for it, was grinning like a loon when I carried it from one room to another. Waiting for the middle gear to arrive and also an adapter cable so I can power the IFU unit.

                My PC Engine case CD drive had the exact same gear issue. When I took the machine apart the original gear was all yellowed and brittle as hell. Most of it was in tinny bits inside the case. Its an ultra common problem with them. So common that a guy on Yahoo Auctions prints replacement gears from quality hard substance. I bought replacements two years back and haven't had a single days problem with the system since.
                Changing the gears was a little fiddly from what I remember due to a retaining washer but it is doable. I can't remember if my gear set came with a little tool to assist with the job or not.

                  That wireless controller is so good, I just need one for my NES & Saturn now

                  Sol-Feace has been fun so far and I love the artwork. Not tried Cobra Command yet.

                      Three classics. Isn’t there some theory that playing Tatsujin at 50Hz is closer to the speed of the arcade game?

                        No idea, never even seen the arcade game!

                          Just had a major paranoia moment, so I’ve been twaddling away with the Gamebit for the past half hour checking all these out…



                          And thankfully they’re all completely legitimate Especially good as the guy I purchased Ghost Chaser Densei from has a couple of Megadrive games I want too.

                            And at the opposite end of the spending spectrum I picked up this untested MD and pad combo for £15 off of eBay.



                            Not a thing wrong with either. Swapped the video over to 60Hz and swapped the crystal oscillator with an NTSC one (53.693175MHz) so it's basically just a US console right now. I'll grab an Mega EverDrive X7 down the line.

                                All top games.

                                KiKi KaiKai 1 & 2 are excellent. Wild Guns is a great game. Magical Pop'n is a really nice platformer.

                                DoReMi Fantasy is such a charming hidden gem.
