SuperGrafx-16 + CD-ROM
« on: March 07, 2007, 01:02:06 PM »
Everyone is always ballyhooing over how gigantic the SG + CD is.  Yet I have never seen a picture of the two combined.  Can somebody please post a picture of the two combined?  I expect to be blown away.  If I am not, Keranu will have to BAN you.

Flash on my digital camera is broke, so lighting's really crappy, but here it is.



Please don't ban me Keranu.

Let me take a picture of my SuperGrafx/RAU-30/briefcase CD setup. I think it's safe to say it's larger than the SuperGrafx/SuperCD set pictured there. I'll post one up as soon as I get a chance.

Haha, damn that is pretty akward, I've never seen a picture of them connected before either. It actually looks a little cooler than I imagined, thanks for the pic. I really want a Super Grafx too!

Well we'll just have to see what Joe thinks about all this commotion.

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

 :lol: Yeah, ain't that a riot?  When I first bought these in Japan (I bought the SG & the SCD-Rom2 units separately), I was quite excited, and I fully intended that would be my normal PC-Engine setup.  Hell, why wouldn't anyone want the ultimate setup?

And when I put them together, I was like, "Oh.....  Weeell...  I guess that'll stay in storage..."

When I got mine, I knew what I was in store for, & really, I'd rather have this setup, rather then the adapter.  Originally though, I bought an SG with a bunch of games for really cheap off ebay, cuz I wanted an SG, but......dag nabbit, probably a couple weeks later it was, when this OTHER SG comes up on ebay, & with the CD Rom no less!  So, I nabbed that one too, & took a mighty blow to my credit card, even though I got a really good deal on that one.  Though, the thing that helped me, was that I already owned several of the games that came with the 2 SG's, so, I made up quite a bit of money, by selling the extra's.  Offhand, I remember Spriggan & Winds of Thunder among others that came with the 2 SG's.  Those right there made me appreciate my deals even more!  But seriously, I have my SG right here with the CD, & as long as it is, I don't care, it's the ULTIMATE SETUP! :-"

Won't be until next week. My girlfriend has my digital camera right now. I'll post it up as soon as I get it back.

How big is the TG16 + CD attachment?  It would be cool to see of picture of one sitting next to the SGX + SCD.

I am going to take a picture of my TG16 + CD next to my SuperGrafx/RAU-30/briefcase CD setup. You will see soon.

The SGX + CD takes up more space than i thought. It would've been nicer looking if NEC made a front cd loader like the original SegaCD. The only thing I see missing from the SGX would be a hucard attachment to up'd the graphics to 32 bits.  :)
