Hey i just got a pc engine!

[cleastolemyheart]

It came in the post yesterday, 2 white engines-one not working and that was the deal, but the other ones colours/graphics are all messed up.

I had a pc engine when i was 14 and i used a scart then (it was a core grafx2), im just using the arial lead now (from pc engine to tv). I have a scart but it wont fit, does anyone know if i have a dodgy pc engine or its just the cable and i should get a scart connector () or something?

Ive looked up screenshots of games i have and there is a huge differance.

thanks for listening!

The important thing to mention is where you live and what sort of modifications the PCE has had.

I'm guessing you're in the UK, and the one white PCE that works is an unmodified Japanese model.  Since Japan's RF output is different from that in Europe, you will probably only be able to tune in in black & white.  You'll either need to get an AV booster for the PCE, or have it RGB/Scart modified (or an adaptor made).

Yup, get an RGB mod/AV Booster. The PAL conversion on the white PC Engine was terrible and severely limited the colour palette.

well lastime i had a pc engine i didnt need to use a stepdown transformer, but this time i do....

Sorry im not very clued up!
