Whats you're current PC engine Set-up?
« on: March 31, 2009, 04:28:04 AM »
I'd be interested to hear what Forum peeps current PC-E/TG-16 set-up is?

For me, I no longer have a CRT TV just an LCD one and all my consoles (PC-E, SFC, Saturn etc..) look terrible on the LCD TV, so what i've done is built a tiny Media PC which connects to my LCD TV via the DVI Socket.
I then run Magic Engine on the Media PC and the picture looks crisp. To play PC-Engine CD games I rip the CD games to ISO images and then mount them using Magic Disc Virtual Drive which also means there are no loading times. For a controller I use the Sega 'Virtua Stick High Grade' which is gorgeous and has all Sanwa buttons and stick.

I have all of my classic consoles connected to my projector.

It sits right next to my bed, so its optimal length for that short ass controller cable.

And since my CDROM is dead, I currently use my xbox with mednafen_pce to play my CD games in glorious 720p

Pretty basic setup here - just a TurboDuo connected to a CRT television.

Same here. I've been using my Turbo Express too since Turbo D fixed the sound for it!

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

Actually you're playing them in glorius 240p upscaled to 720p.  No detail is added anywhere in the process meaning the image is still ultra-low definition.  Why do people think that if something is upscaled, it is as good as the native resolution?  Such as people who think DVDs upscaled to HD is actual competition for Blu-ray's image quality.

I have my briefcase hooked up to my 42' Plasma.  This will get me by until I find a day
where I'm not too lazy to unpack my other gear.  8)

Everything else is packed away.

Turbografx-16 with CD attached to 27" Sony Trinitron. I also have a PC Engine Duo but I haven't had it modded yet so I'm using both. It's a tangled mess with both of those plus a Dreamcast, Playstation 2, and Atari 2600 in front of the tv.

Mine is TurboGrafx-16 + CD-ROM and all flavors of System Cards (except Game Express and v1.0) hooked to a 20-inch CRT TV.  Video is output via RGB mod to a RGB to Component transcoder and that component video is fed straight into the TV which then sends a light beam to meet my eyes which send the signal to my brain... all without any dot crawl or color smear!  For those who complain that the video signal is supposed to be a bit smeared, my right eye doesn't exactly see perfectly so it helps add a bit of fake smear so the developers' intentions are realized.  The audio is piped out via two "RCA" style cables which carry the left side audio and the right side audio on two completely separate and independent cables to my audio system where it produces the sweet sounds that massage my ear drums which send signals to my brain which translates it into Cadash music (no matter which game is played)

Here is are a couple of pictures to show you!





Note: That computer is not the one I regularly use.  It is a spare at best.

No pics, but I keep all the systems stored away in large plastic bins along with games, etc.  Cables are in a large cardboard box, controllers in another...  :)

Usually I take out a system and hook it up to a 15" RGB monitor and/or stereo speakers.
If RGB is out of the question, I hook it up to our TV...  :cry:

Anything but playing a system the way it was designed when shipped to markets!
