Wow, Loopy homebrew. What a world we live in.

Always happy to see some new game development for PC-FX that are non-dating sims

Looking cool   I love me some tetrisy fun, and the 3D is interesting.

  I don't have a car, but live near a good shelter.  I must leave my precious DUO at home, BUT the games are all with me on my laptop at least.  I pray nothing happens to my copy of Exile with original box, plastic wrap, and foam insert, though!  Or maybe I'll bring that particular CD with me.

Thanks, you were right, took me a few tries to get the right height. It's working great now!

The center CD spindle might have gotten pushed down during shipment or when someone pushed on top of the lid too hard. The metal platform that the CD sits on should stick out above the top of the Black plastic surround slightly. Not so much that you can see under it. But just enough that the CD doesn't scrape on the plastic surround.

PC-FX Discussion / Alpha Build - Cascade FX Homebrew game for PC-FX

Cascade FX

Here's a 3D sofware rendered puzzle (Tetris) game for the PC-FX (and also Casio Loopy but i won't say too much about it ) !
This is an early alpha build with only arcade mode and a mostly empty "Puzzle" mode that will get more content later.
Press A to rotate the piece and dpad to move it around.
All of the puzzle pieces are actual 3D models, nothing is being faked or prerendered !

On real hardware you have two options :
- Burn it on CDR with imgburn. (make sure you use gold rated CDRs and a decent burner)
- David Shadoff's dev cartridge (In which case, you won't get any CDDA music)

Changelog

Code: [Select]

0.2 (PC-FX only)
- Improve rendering of 3D models (still not quite perfect for cube at titlescreen though)
- Improve speed for Cube at titlescreen
- Improve text rendering (not using VDC fonts anymore)
- Improve speed during ingame
- Forcing Vsync (not that the game exceeded 60 FPS but it's good to have)

TG/PCE Repair/Mod Discussion / PC Engine Duo Laser moves, Spindle rotates but CD doesn't spin.

« Last post by Shoey on October 05, 2024, 05:57:22 PM »

Hi,

Hi, tried searching the thread but I can't find this specific issue. I came across a "untested" PC Engine Duo for a great price so I took a chance on it. Happy to find that it works, reads HU cards with no issues but the CD has an issue. If I hold the door button I can see that laser move, if I put a disc in hold the door button I can see the spindle in the center spinning but when I close the door, the CD doesn't spin. It's like it's not gripping properly. Any suggestions?

I should note that I haven't opened it yet, no recap, and I'm testing with a burned disc as I don't have any originals yet.

Thanks

WTB: 2 PC-Engine two-button Controllers, with turbo switches.

I recently bought clear replacement cases, and I just wanted to swap out some old controllers for new cases.

Anyone from the US, Japan, AUS, or the UK who can help a fellow PCEngineFans member out?

HEY!

Just figured I would necro bump this thread a bit with some updates.

LincCon 2024 (our 14th annual at this point) is happening this weekend. Maybe I'll share some pics or videos. But here are a few videos of past year's coverage:

With the slow growth of the show, I managed to put aside a little savings and about 3 years ago, I purchased another game convention called EVERCON that takes place about 45 mins south of my house. The show has nearly doubled in size in attendance since it's purchase and has become a nice little staple in Central WI.

Here's a peek at some videos from EVERCON:

YAY!
