Allen screws on top of the SuperGrafx
« on: November 05, 2007, 12:13:11 PM »
What size are the 4 Allen screws on the SuperGrafx?  Are they some kind of funky metric size?  I've always wanted to open that sucker up.  I love screwing and unscrewing Allen screws.  It rocks.

Of course I don't, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to take it apart!

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

Nobody's ever tried to open up a SuperGrafx with an Allen wrench set before?

I took one apart with an ax, a rusty ax.

So, who's this Allen chap you're speaking of?

Torx are lame and wimpy.  When something is built with Allen/Hex screws, that means it is built Ford Tough!

Are you being serious? Of course people have taken apart SGX before, and they didn't need a Allen wrench because those aren't screws in the first place. They are just decoration.

I would guess 5mm.

Of course he is!  Joe's always serious, like the Amish.
