Pc engine shuttle....ill look this up. Thanks for the suggestion!

Lol don't get a Shuttle.

Also Zeta is giving pretty sound advice. The Supergrafx is a console that people tend to sell after having it. I suppose what you really have to ask yourself is what system do you have that you only have 5 games for. Because while yes the Supergrafx can play regular hueys a white PCE is like $30. So you are paying another $250 for access to pay lots of money for each Supergrafx title. Even with easily affording it, there are just...much better things to spend that money on.

I don't really know anything about the system but I'm fully prepared to drop $300 on a system and $200 on a port of a game that can be easily played elsewhere because f*ck, it's just money.

My life and anus in a nutshell.

Or maybe Its something ive been intrigued with for a while and want to know more about. I dont have a pcengine just a usa turbo. God forbid I want to ask people who might have owned one for information. I work and support my house, cars, and hobbies just fine. I appreciate your concern for my monetary well-being.

ANYWAYS, back on topic...

I think ill try on emulation like suggested. See if its something worth getting. I was really attracted to the fact that its kind of a cool looking system with that PCEngine compatibility and can play its own games(albeit only 5). I was thinking of getting a way to play PC Engine stuff and based upon prices of everything for a little more getting this(instead of a Duo) seemed like a better deal for me. I think :-P




Buy whatever you want, just spare us the contrived justifications and seemingly not genuine requests for advice.

A way to play PCE games would be to buy a $60 PCE or mod your TG for $10 in parts. The SGX is going to cost that much squared. It also takes up that much more room.

It's cool and it's awesome, but it's also a kinda dumb and it sucks. That's why it was cancelled before it went on sale and it only got five games. Why would you expect people to do anything but talk you out of it?

And getting it instead of a Duo...that's nonsense. The SGX has five exclusive games, none are impressive, all made in the same year. The Duo lets you play over 300 games a SGX can't play and they include most of the systems' best games. SCD was the "main" PCE format more than any other, with standard PCE cards being second.

You need to play Dracula X and you keep reaching for Battle Ace. Keep it together!

The SGX is one of my favorite systems, but I would not buy one now with the crazy prices the system and games are selling for.

Everdrive does work with the SGX if you don't already know.

To answer the OP: no, but it's really easy to sell it off onto the next guy. The SGX is a system a lot of people used to own.

Lol, just like the PC-FX

Every NEC system is worth getting and trying out at some point. Trying all the funky console revisions and accessories is half the fun of being an NEC fan

Lol, just like the PC-FX

Or 32x.

But even then, both of those systems have a multitude more of games than SuperGrafx exclusives. They are both systems I keep around. This reminds me I should burn off Power League FX tonight.

Thank you.

I love playing on all the different hardware.

I love the NA hardware, too.

Everyone enjoys different things, and I certainly enjoy the physical hardware aspect of all the old consoles.

Buy whatever you wait, just spare us the contrived justifications and seemingly not genuine requests for advice.

Lol Zeta. I should have expected that comment from you. [emoji1]

I didnt realize regular pcengine was THAT cheap now. I was thinking more duo price.

Esteban im like you. I like playing the old stuff on their own hardware. Each one has its own charm.

Everyone has good points....ill look into all options. Thanks for the input guys. [emoji3]

Its you hard earned money so you decide on what to spend it. People may have differen opinions regarding spending or not on a Supergrafx. But at the end what really matters is that you'll be the one that will be enjoying or not enjoying the system.

I think the Supergrafx looks like it's tearing ass around the living room but none of the games pump my nads so I've never wanted to drop the coin.  If you want one, get one.  If you decide you don't want it down the road just talk the next guy asking about it into buying yours.

The SGX is pretty much for collectards.  It's the thing you should only buy after you've bought a IFU/Duo, built a library of games you love, and find yourself wondering what else you can spend money on.
Like Necro said, and with the $$ a SGX + games cost, you could be getting way better stuff (if u don't already have them)

I paid $35 shipped for one on here quite recently for the record. A major seller on facebook was selling them for that price as well and he had I think 10. They sold pretty fast but it's definitely doable.

If what you want is Japanese hucard access without modifying your system, that'd be your best bet. Even assuming you don't want RF, it's cheaper to get a white PCE and one of those cheapo boosters from China (seller is a member here) than it is to buy a Core Grafx last I knew.

I agree with Esteban.  If you have the funds, then go ahead and try it out.  For me, I felt that getting the Super Grafx and a Super CD Rom2 with an Arcade Card and a region mod was the way to go.

In my opinion the sgx is worth owning for daimakaimura alone. It's a wonderful and technically impressive port of one of my all-time favorites. One of the best nec cards imo.
