Hi guys.
« on: April 28, 2012, 06:53:54 PM »
Damn.. Time flies.
My last post was in 2008. My children has grown bigger now, and now i want to rejoin the PCE scene.

One of my friends is looking for a Duo, and i thought: been there, done that. Used to have a Core Grafx II, Supergrafx and a Duo-R. What could possibly be so cool about that machine? Well, i thought about it last evening and the idea grew on me. Actually so much that i now want one myself... Which one is the question at the moment. IMO the Core Grafx is the most beautiful console of all time, but the lack of playing cd's makes it a no-go right now. So the solution must be a Duo-R.
Anyways.. Just wanted to say hi  :P

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Like i wrote, a Duo-R  8)

EDIT: You were referring to the Core Grafx setup and then a cd-unit? How much should i expect to pay for that unit?

Hey Soop.
For the price of a cd unit, i could just as well buy a Duo-R. A boxed one on the bay goes for $240.

Hmm.. Might as well go through SMJ to see if im lucky.

Welcome back!

I would post a WTB thread in the PC Engine Sales Forum for a Duo-R and see what happens. :)

I really like the Core Grafx consoles too. They are just too damn sexy. The DUO systems are OK but nowhere nears cool as the CG systems in my opinion. I suggestion getting a CG then picking up a Super CD system for it (best option for the CGII setup) or a briefcase unit. They aren't THAT much more then a DUO if you look around.

Thanks for the welcome :)

Im not really sure yet which way to go. Still considering a Core Grafx + cd setup, Super Grafx + cd setup or a Duo.

The Duo-R is your best bet for cost effectiveness and reliability!

Yes, the Super CD-ROM has fairly common audio issues.
