Joining the Supergrafx family
« on: March 08, 2016, 02:41:12 PM »
I got a Supergrafx on the way.

It doesnt have power or AV cable, anyone got the power specs handy. Is it standard AV port?

It has the same power specs as a PC Engine/Core Grafx (800mA centre negative) but the tip connector is 6.3 x 3.0 like a Duo or SCD-ROMĀ² (which are centre positive). #-o

Nice, welcome to the club. :)

Yes, the a/v port is the standard 5 pin din.

You guys are killing me I have been pondering getting a supergrafx as well.

At first I was not really interested since it has so few games but the fact that I can use the everdrive to play them is a big plus.  Also it's awesome that it is backwards compatible.

I would probably not mess with adding the super cd to it that just looks wrong.  Like 2 elephants mating haa haa.

The first time I showed my SGX + Super CD 2 attachment on twitch the people that were watching made comments like...

"You could club someone to death with that thing."

"WTF, it's nearly half the size of you!"

"Does that thing even fit on a normal shelf?"

I do think it looks a bit fugly and I really like the black Duo's much much more. But this system mixed with the Arcade Duo card gives me access to every single game in the PCE/TG16 library.

Oh and I use a single power supply adapter.
I grabbed one of these.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Small-Jumper-power-cable-for-Pc-Engine-Super-CD-Rom2-to-Super-Grafx-/111924999405?hash=item1a0f3ff4ed

Then I found this power supply and decided to give it a try and it works great. Although I cannot find it anywhere now.
Hmm, I can't seem to link it..... but the item description is Enercell 12VDC 1.5A AC-to-DC Power Adapter #2730461 Regulated & Filtered from the seller overstockoutletmemphis.

I was really happy to only have to use one power brick and I havn't had any problems with my system.

Nice find.  I found a SuperGrafx in person for the first time last week.  Unfortunately the store that had it knew what they had.  They wanted $550 for it along with a Super CD ROM and they refused to separate.  On the plus side, it was very clean.  Looked brand new.  I ended up making a fair offer on it, but they would not budge. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."
