Some PC Engine Questions Regarding SuperCDRom and LT

That must be the longest console in the world.

Any guesses what the WIDEST is???! (no idea myself, could even by the Turbografx!)

Thanks for the welcomes people!

The side-by-side Genesis+Sega-CD is pretty wide, but I don't know if it is the widest.

Hmmmm... Intellivision? Colecovision? Sega Master System?

Of the current generation: it seems that PlayStation 3 is pretty damn wide.

My Super Grafx w/ Super CD-Rom unit was the LONGEST system EVER.  With that rig, I had to run the AC adapter for both.  I regret selling them in 1999   I would use the male/male piece with the CG II.  In 97-ish when LT's were found minty for around $300, a friend of mine ran an LT and Interface unit with two AC adapters as well (one for LT and one for CD-Rom) since the LT screen is power hungry. 

We never toyed with hooking his LT up to my SCD unit because we didn't have the LT adapter nor the RAU-30.

FYI, if anyone is ever interested in parting with a fully functioning LT, hit me up.  Still regretting not picking up an LT in the Turbo Mailing List back in the mid-90's...

So on this absurdly niche product ! does the RAU30 adaptor actually work with the Super CD Rom 2 system?

It seems a neater solution to shave some plastic off the SCDROM2 itself, where it has that massive mouth area, so the little LT can get in.

Does anyone lucky enough to own an LT think it is a good system to play on (using its own control buttons) or do they prefer plugging in a joypad or joystick?

Personally my favourite joystick is the XE1-PC Pro. It's a real looker.

Some one years ago, made a modification to their Super CD ROM add-on by cutting out a piece from the top of the system, i don't have a photo of it but from memory, the photo below shows the piece that was cut away, outlined in black.

That's pretty raw but I like it. The gamble: to shave the ROM and risk the massively unlikely event that I come across one of those slick adapters on ebay or on these forums!! That is the question. 

I also reckon (as I think Tatsujin noted) that you could use a RAU 30 but seeing as I don't own one I don't know if (a) it fits onto the back of the LT without impeding the lid, or (b) if the bus connector is the same on the LT as the Supergrafx, which it was built for. Anyone help me out?

Sweet! Thanks for the photo bro! The LT looks cool in the RAU 30 mount, all that white bit needs is a bit of grey spray paint and it's a doozy!

[RoyVegas]

What would be a round about price for the RAU 30?

[Tatsujin]

why don't use a simple IFU-30?

cheaper 'n compacter!

Check this auction out, shame it ended in the past and was Japan only!

You can tell I want one of these babies pretty bad!

#BTW will def hook up the LT to a RAU 30, when I get one for a good price!

Boxed and super sexy - at least 85% new!  Too bad about the price, though; isn't that about $250?

That diagram/instruction in the middle picture looks like the naughiest PCE three-some of all time.  Menage et LT?  Oui...

[futurematt]

LOL dammit hardware shouldn't look this sexy!

[Tatsujin]

there was a boxed LT inkl. boxed super rom adapter as a bundle for about $650 in the mandarake a month or so ago. and it was gone when i checked it the last time.
