Title: Do you have a region mod?
Post by: bust3dstr8 on March 30, 2008, 05:47:41 AM
There are very few US cards that I am interested in, so I still just have my stock CoreII-SuperCD setup.

I do but I did it mostly for the L337-ness of it since I only have one US HuCard. I'd like to get more but I'm not sure what they would be since most US releases are too expensive and have shitty covers.

That would be an interesting poll; what US HuCard is about the same price as a JP HuCard, doesn't have a hideous cover, a high price, or censorship?

Cadash? Galaga '90?

I only got a region mod on my Duo RX because it also got an S-Video mod at the same time and I wanted to be able to play everything in S-Video.

Before that, I usually only played games on hardware from either region and used a kisado to play Arcade Card games.

I did it to my Duo because well, I make ALL my systems region free.  Just the sheer option of playing either region chips is nice.

I let Quoth get the region modded Core Grafx from me. I only use a Supergrafx now in my room. My son has a TG16,but its not region modded yet,maybe one day if I get the time,or I will send it to Nat to do,one way or the other it will get done if my son wants it.

I have a region-modded TG16 deck, so I use an ACD Pro with my CDROM.

I have a Coregrafx and a TurboDuo. They look awesome sitting next to each other on the shelf. I'm quite good with soldering and have a ton of experience doing work on circuit boards, but it was just easier for me to pick up a Coregrafx. Maybe someday I'll crack one of these open and do the work. Hell, I'm still interested in getting a PC Engine, Coregrafx II, and a Turbografx 16. Yeah, I'm like that.

I have that purple thingy for my way-awesome TurboGrafx-16 (which is what the PC Engine was called in the United States for you Japanese elitists out there).  It plays any and all PC Engine cards.  No need for a region mod.  Kick anus!

I got a Kisado before they got super expensive.

I might just pay to get my Duo modded, then sell the adaptor and make a little profit :)

I just use hucard converters on my US duo.

By chance, I ended up with a 3rd Super Grafx off of ebay, because it had a switch to change regions......I just couldn't pass it up.

Ahh yes, just when it's started to slip our minds from the previous year, PD has to remind us that he owns 28% of all the SuperGrafxes in the world.

He has half as many systems as there are games.

My Coregrafx is region modded it was done by (D-lite) and it works well to.

While i have a bunch of u.s hucards i didn't have to go that way.Given every title i have you can also get for the pce.

Still there some games i wanted in u.s form such as,Neutopia 1&2,Cadash,Dragons Curse and Military Madness etc.

Btw my duo-r is still left unchanged,but i like to have it given the works as well one day.

Don't have any mods, I'm too scared to have my systems cut open.

No region mod here, as I'd rather use a converter than chop a hole in my Duo.  Actually, I keep my flash cart loaded with the few PCE HuCards that I own and only need the converter for the Arcade Card.

I've modded my PCE to give an RF signal on PAL TVs- the purists approach to gaming!    :mrgreen:

Yes I got one of my SGX mod'd by D-Lite few years back...

I bought my region modded PCE Duo from D-Lite about 8 months ago. I own more TG-16 games than PCE games, so I practically need a region mod. Back when I owned a TG-16 I considered getting a converter but I found out that most of them are crap.

Region mods make sense with a reliable Duo-r/rx or to enable a SuperGrafx/SCD set-up to play every format.

I don't understand the logic behind modifying a lone U.S Turbo Duo, especially if the owner has other U.S systems.  I can use my Mirai adapter to play PCE games on my TurboDuo, TG16 and Express units without having to get them all modified.  I'm not screwed if one of them breaks, I can switch between portable and home gaming and I don't have to sink money into a rare Duo that could potentially malfunction any day (knock on wood).

There are very few US cards that I am interested in, so I still just have my stock CoreII-SuperCD setup.
If a CoreGrafx and SCD is your ideal set-up, go for it.  All CD units are X1, but Duos tend to load a little faster than the add-ons so you may want to hold out for an a cheap Duo-R.

:lol:  That seriously had me laughing when I read that!  And I don't mean in a sinister way.......or do I, BWA HA HA!

.....maybe :)  Though, I'm not sure how many ac adapter's & av cords I actually have for SGX's, I'd have to do some serious searching within my plethora of gaming cords, wires, controllers, etc. etc.  I have just one SGX hooked up along with my lone CDRom that attatches to it, so the cords for the other 2(if I even got any) I'd have to find, it seems like atleast one of them I got, with no attatchments :-k

No region mod for my system, but I still have the original box in fantastic condition! :dance:
