Welcome to the forums! As many said, get a Pc engine duo+ everdrive. Let me know if you need advice, i can check online in Japanese auctions sites for you. they usually go for like 120$ with the full setup.
An easier version is getting one without the controller and cables from super potato in tokyo. they sell it for 120$, and you are sure it will work and in ok shape.
Doesn't shipping cost an arm and a leg?
Ebay is definatly not the place to shop for pc engine stuff.
PM me if you have questions. I was able to hook up 2 members with a pc engine combo (super cd/core grafx) for about 90$, just need to pay attention to those sweet auctions on yahoo auctions japan.
Doesn't the shipping end up costing an arm and a leg?
Nope, i did plenty of exporting in the last 2 years from Japan to Usa/canada and it was fair. A pc engine, isnt that heavy, and if you dont buy it with the cords, then its even lighter. if u want it shipped in 3 days, the price would be around 40$, but if u have patience, its about 25-30$. If you are doing business with companies in japan to imports ur goods for you, you will pay a lot more, but its definatly not to cover shiping costs, you are paying them a lot.
I sold for about 10 000$ items to help the racket boy community, the highest the shipping cost a member was 200$ for 20+kilos of games shipped express. that guy paid me to go all around Tokyo to find the cheapest games on his list. well worth it for him. took me 3 days, a real treasure hunt.
anyway, point is, shipping isnt as scary as people might believe/
