PC Engine SD

[SignOfZeta]

That "product" is utterly retarded. There's nothing about it that says "hard work", it's just retail products shoehorned together. The dumbest part is "SD to HuCard conversion via TED 2.5", as if it's as simple as converting PS/2 to USB or PCE/DUO controller to TG16 controller.

I project the retail price to be $399. This project is even worse than the Analogue Nt which originally harvested the NES CPU and PPU chips from Famicoms. The "PC Engine SD" needs to die in a fire.

Edit: just noticed this jewel:

"I would’ve liked to collect for this system, but I noticed prices for PC engine games were just becoming ridiculous, and because I don’t have a childhood connection to the system, I had no problem simply switching to SD cards."

Okay scratch the above, HE should die in a fire. Really, you don't know shit about PC Engine, think the games are too expensive so therefore the logical answer is to use SD cards which being in a complex serial format require a flash cart to be used? We should band together and get this abomination canceled.

While I agree with what you are saying, I'm pretty sure this is a one-off. Since it's literally just a case swapped PCE I can't imagine anyone paying for it. Maybe a couple a hardcore Amstrad fans or something.

Yeah I don't think he has any intentions of selling it as a product, I had asked him that due to all the spec sheets and art etc. He sounds like he'll just sell that project one at some point and be done with it.

I'm used to this place at this point but still didn't expect "HE should die in a fire".

There's nothing about it that says "hard work"...

Funny choice of words - the phrase "hard work" has been a running gag on AA for about 15 years.

I have no problem with case mods, especially if you have a case that looks like its been bathed in a spittoon...  I just don't understand all the photoshopped "marketing" shots...

HahajjjJjJjJjjA.

I didn't read the entire thread, but I'll have to go back.

The first few pages were great, though.

This is like the Shuttle of flashcart setups.

It should be called PC Engine SD-ROM².

Don't encourage it.

Was this an april fools joke?

You have to admire the idea or wanting to create yet another incarnation of the PCE.  Looks kind of neat.  If they have a working prototype at a con or something, I'd be curious to check it out.
