yeah you had to register after that site-f*cking that happened awhile back with the shoutbox being taken over.
I actually didn't know what happened, as I couldn't view anything in the forums after that. I just guessed it was to avoid some spammer(and hater) attacks and thought the forums would return to being public some time afterwards, so I still managed to check here once a while, until... well, I realised there weren't any sign of changing and then I stopped checking. I think it's been years.
Turbo R is useless. Mine sits in a box doing nothing. I just use an MSX2 with an FM cart. I sold my 2+s even.
The natural picture mode was quite popular among homebrewers though, that there were a number of "disk mags" containing mainly CG slideshows using this mode (real games that used it were sparse). These stuff (along with software for MSX2) were "widely"
spread distributed shared among users from those particular shops I mentioned above. (By "widely" I meant there're probably just around a few dozens of
otaku hardcore users collectors who bought the thing.)
