Do you have a region mod?
« on: March 30, 2008, 05:47:41 AM »
There are very few US cards that I am interested in, so I still just have my stock CoreII-SuperCD setup.

I do but I did it mostly for the L337-ness of it since I only have one US HuCard. I'd like to get more but I'm not sure what they would be since most US releases are too expensive and have shitty covers.

That would be an interesting poll; what US HuCard is about the same price as a JP HuCard, doesn't have a hideous cover, a high price, or censorship?

I only got a region mod on my Duo RX because it also got an S-Video mod at the same time and I wanted to be able to play everything in S-Video.

Before that, I usually only played games on hardware from either region and used a kisado to play Arcade Card games.

I did it to my Duo because well, I make ALL my systems region free.  Just the sheer option of playing either region chips is nice.

I let Quoth get the region modded Core Grafx from me. I only use a Supergrafx now in my room. My son has a TG16,but its not region modded yet,maybe one day if I get the time,or I will send it to Nat to do,one way or the other it will get done if my son wants it.

I have a region-modded TG16 deck, so I use an ACD Pro with my CDROM.

I have a Coregrafx and a TurboDuo. They look awesome sitting next to each other on the shelf. I'm quite good with soldering and have a ton of experience doing work on circuit boards, but it was just easier for me to pick up a Coregrafx. Maybe someday I'll crack one of these open and do the work. Hell, I'm still interested in getting a PC Engine, Coregrafx II, and a Turbografx 16. Yeah, I'm like that.

I have that purple thingy for my way-awesome TurboGrafx-16 (which is what the PC Engine was called in the United States for you Japanese elitists out there).  It plays any and all PC Engine cards.  No need for a region mod.  Kick anus!

I got a Kisado before they got super expensive.

I might just pay to get my Duo modded, then sell the adaptor and make a little profit :)

By chance, I ended up with a 3rd Super Grafx off of ebay, because it had a switch to change regions......I just couldn't pass it up.

Ahh yes, just when it's started to slip our minds from the previous year, PD has to remind us that he owns 28% of all the SuperGrafxes in the world.

He has half as many systems as there are games.
