Why such a big price difference in PCE consoles?

My turbo grafx cd takes 20 minutes to warm up

What, like an old Chrysler?

You have to start 'er up in the morning and let it idle in the driveway for 20 minutes before taking it for a spin (play a game)? That's pretty goofy if you ask me.

haha, ya its just like that. It never used to be. One day after I hadn't played it in awhile, I started it up to play dracula x that had just come in the mail and I was like;"wtf?" I don't know what happened to it.

I'm genuinely interested -- what's involved in the "warm-up" process?

Has anyone tried replacing the capacitors in the audio system in the Duo early on, to prevent audio death?

well, you turn it on, push start so it says loading, then you come back in twenty minutes and hope the game has loaded.

I had an issue with my TG-CD add-on for the TG-16. It would work for a while, though after an hour or so, it would take a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time to load. I'd have to save my game, let it rest, and hope when I returned it would play fine.

This sucked a lot on Cosmic Fantasy 2, as I had to wait 2 min or so for the battle to load, and exit.

I think the laser became weak. Still not to sure, as it happened sporadically. I sold the system a while ago.

I thought about selling it, but I didn't want to rip anyone off, haha. I'd hate to get my hopes up only to recieve a dud in the mail.

You don't have to rip someone off to sell it. Just be direct in your description. You won't receive as much $$ for it, however I'm certain you'd find a buyer!

Then again, you mentioned your Duo has bad audio. Slow loading may be the lesser of the 2 flaws.

I had been playing my duo all day long for 3 days with ys book 1 & 2. I believe I was almost through book 2 when I heard a loud distortion scrambling sound. I was like;"wtf?" and then there was no sound. I can hear a very slight sound from headphones if I turn the volume on the headphone port all the way up, but nothing from the t.v. I've been planning on doing the fix, but haven't had time yet. Maybe next week.
