Thanks for those links Bone.
I'll probably try getting a a PC Engine Duo if I can find one for a good price, otherwise I may just get a vanilla one and buy the CD addon later.
Turbografx or PC Engine?

Oh, another quick question: how hard is it to find compatible power supplies, cables, etc and do any of the models support s-video or RGB out of the box?

You can also burn CD-Rs of the CD games with relative ease.

Just so you know, ebay seller hit-japan always has PC Engine Duos in stock. That's where I got mine. I order from the seller frequently, everything is always in fantastic shape. You would have to pay shipping from Japan though.
Here's one example:

Yes, about the same. Stack 4 CD cases and that's about the size of a PC Engine/Core Grafx.GSZX1337 wrote:My guess would be either it or the Model 3 Genesis.

Re: Turbografx or PC Engine?
It's not too hard to find proper cables, the power supplies can be easily substituted and AV cables are readily available. No stock PC Engine or TG-16 variant has S-video or RGB, you have to mod your system to get any of those outputs. The S-video mod is insanely easy but the RGB mod requires that you build an amplifier circuit and get a special cable in addition to mounting a new connector.AppleQueso wrote:Oh, another quick question: how hard is it to find compatible power supplies, cables, etc and do any of the models support s-video or RGB out of the box?

If you want to get really picky, 3 regular and a thincase high which accounts for the domed bump on top.

Haha, I wondered if anyone would recognize or look up the codes for fun. Yes, you could say I'm a bit of a Scorn fan.BoneSnapDeez wrote:Is that a Scorn album Hobie?!
