Post everytime you get ANYTHING retro. We want to know (^v^)

I'm planning to make a custom RGB harness that hooks up to the expansion slot with some breadboard as a side thing to do. Should be fun at least.

Not to mention PC Engine composite is great and my monitor is ace as scaling.

[noobish hat]

What's the difference between the Core II and the original PC Engine?

[speedlolita]

PC Engine has RF only, Core II has an AV socket for composite. I got the Core II as regular PC-E go a funny colour eventually.

I'm unfamiliar with the differences between the Core I and the Core II though.

There aren't any, just the casing. And I think I know what that certain game is that you're after................

[speedlolita]

I figured as much. lol

Is this the U2410 you're referring to? Would be interested in your experiences of using analogue connections on the unit to see if they've improved.

[speedlolita]

It is the U2410 yes.

I was playing about with MagicEngine yesterday and fullscreened it at 640x480 - it looked amazing. I'll let you know how analog composite looks though.

I know it's an emulator an all, but my older LCDs have never scaled this well.

Thanks. I found component to be quite poor on the monitor so I didn't even bother trying composite before sending it back. RE: DC looked like an animated mosaic via component, sadly. The digital connections were absolutely lush, though. You're tempting me back into buying one again, the 1:1 pixel mapping was absolutely fantastic for PC games.

Not to mention I could set the picture in picture mode and have PC Engine running in a small window while using my desktop normally.

[Decider-VT]

Gaaah, I'm going to have to buy it back now. I used PiP when I was farming for boxes/deathmatching in Lost Planet 2 and watching YouTube at the same time.

This turned out to be an expensive conversation.

Hehe. You can get a new A10 revision U2410 for about ?300 on eBay. 3 year warranty with Dell.

I got mine for ?230 used from some dude, it's an A00 but I upgraded the firmware to A01.

Definitely only gonna buy Ultrasharp from now on. May even get a U3011 when the 2013 models come out.

Cotton Rainbow and L.O.L. from Super Potato Osaka. Can't wait to get to the main branch in Tokyo: I'll definitely get a Famicon Twin or a Famicon+Disk System if they have one in good conditions...and an other baggage for the retunr flight!

[speedlolita]

Lack of Love is a rather strange game indeed. Nice get!

Couple of recent additions to my PSO collection. The JPN Xbox version, the GC Trilogy boxset an the Bandai RAcaseal figure are all new - the DC Trial I got last year some time. Thought I ought to put this stuff on display rather than just hiding it away in a box.



The Trilogy Boxset is lovely, though I'd forgotten how petite the GC JPN boxes are when I opened the package!

Nice review of L.O.L. here:

Looks really interesting, I'd never heard of it before.
