Love this!
Always loved the white version.
Never had a PC Engine.
Still looks cool now, IMHO.
The Core Grafx has autofire though.
If it is hackable, only two buttons is going so suck for anything other than the 8-Bit consoles.
But I love this!
This is the current loop my brain is having about this.

With pce been pretty popular in japan I’m wondering how hard it will be to get a preorder before the Japanese scum resellers get hold of them like they did with the md.Kept you waiting, huh?

Amazon did release a small second wave of preorder but all those are gone now and it’s back to stupid prices.Kept you waiting, huh?

I suppose, in a way, I've got one of these already:

Front End - https://www.flickr.com/photos/773779...posted-public/
I sourced a broken Core Grafx from ebay (always like this grey colour the best). I paid £35 for it, gutted it & then resold the parts for £30 back on ebay. I then added a Pi 3B+ & a suitable retro front end. Finally I superglued in an old cart with some fab japanese art onto the top.
My 8-Bit Do Pad isn't quite as sexy but I bet I've got more games than the official oneLast edited by paulus; 12-06-2019, 17:34.
