Before you print this thing, did we ever figure out if the TG-16 and PCE core systems can use any of each other's "boosters"? I'm sure it would look horrible, but I always wondered if you could shove a Core Grafx into a Turbo Booster Plus, or something like that.

I can confirm that these combos don't work.  The interface between the Japan & US is a slightly different shape.

Also, the PCE is slightly thicker than the neck of the TG16 - it barely fits into the booster's slot, but you would really have to force it in place if the interface did work.









I've avoided the boosters in the poster because there are so many and I only have the US set.
This is one UGLY combo....

OK, good to know. I've always wondered about that.

I find it odd that you are leaving out the Boosters. I mean, sure, they aren't very relevant, but they are official 1st party devices that sold in decent numbers. Also, you were asking about the Zoomer, which is beyond irrelevant, if it exists or not.

He's just leaving out pictures of 'em; they're still listed.

I laughed my *ss off reading this thread. Henry, you are a PCE gangsta, I love those hardware combo names, hilarious!!....if you need any photos of my sawn-off LPE LT / Super CD ROM 2 combo (I think you need this in your psychedelic hardware encyclopedia!!!)...or anything involving the PCE LT and RAU 30 I can send you stuff..here are some anyways..keep up the excellent work dude!!

I look forward to your name for the gangsta LT combo...!

Glad you are enjoying it futurematt!  I still need shots of any of these setups..

SCD + RAU30 + LT
IFU + RAU30 + LT (RAU30 not needed here)
SCD + RAU30 + SGX (RAU30 not needed here)
SCD + SCDLTAdapter + PCE (SCDLTAdapter not needed here)
SCD + SCDLTAdapter + CGX (SCDLTAdapter not needed here)
SCD + SCDLTAdapter + CGXII (SCDLTAdapter not needed here)


I look forward to your name for the gangsta LT combo...!


gangsta LT?  is there a way to hook a Super Grafx to the LT?  (Gangsta's Briefcase has the SGX)


As for modded stuff (like your SCD2/LT), those are cool, but we would need to start a whole new thread for those.  With a mod, you might actually be able to make

"Stairway to Heaven"

or
"Son of Frankenstein"

Hence the "with a mod"  --  My point is that I am trying to stick to just using unmodded hardware that you can connect directly between components.

We discussed earlier if the LT-to-SCD2 adapter could be hooked up to the IFU-30.  Once it was determined that it would need a physical modification, I nixed it from the poster.

Yes, some of my setups are silly (psycho's briefcase for instance), but it helps illustrate how much thought NEC put into the expandability of the PC-Engine and the multitude of system configurations that the consumer had. 

Accessories are another story for the poster.  I want to make sure that all released hardware is listed, but photos are only included for systems and for devices that allow the system to be expanded to add CD-Rom2 capability.  There are so many possible iterations with the other accessories included, that the poster would need to be a book.  In addition, finding photos of all the possible setups is not really practical. 

If a setup listed in this thread doesn't make it to the top post, then it doesn't follow these rules.

My point of posting something like the "Stairway To Heaven" was that some evil genius probably could mod the interface and saw the "dome" off the PCE to possibly pull off making that combo work.  Hopefully if someone ever does, they know what they are doing well enough to not screw up perfectly good hardware just to see.

2 great examples of modded hardware that isn't included:
and of course the Region Modded options are now available as well.


There is one exception to this rule that I may decide to add in before final printing.  We'll have to wait and see if it does.

Does the LT/SCDR2 adaptor fit into the RAU-30 (it must do)? Then you have a whole new load of double ridiculous sets ups. A step too far really.

Can we not come up with a slightly more hardcore name for the stapler (LT - PI-AD18 - SCRD2), it is physically a good comparison but doesn't do the holy grail status any justice at all. The LT itself looks a little like a stapler on its own anyway.

Here are some terrible suggestions, but which are a little more glamorous than stapler: "Darius Crab Arm" or "Holy Grail Crab" or "Mecha Snapper" or even "grey dragon lord"! Something like that...your names are way better....

And finally, if I may be so bold to suggest it, the sawn off stapler / dragon grail / whatever is still using 100% original NEC hardware unlike the (albeit awesome and impressive) hardware mods on the videos....

The whole point in naming it stapler was the fact that it is so impossibly hard to find.  Such an ordinary common name is the most unfitting for a holy grail, that's precisely why I chose it.  It brings the unattainable down to reality.

Yes, the RAU-30 setup works with the LT, and that is included now in the updated poster now that I have a good picture of that setup.  I called it Onager  (a much more regal name but a much more common setup... if an LT/SCD2 setup can be common).  There are only a couple of "silly" setups left that I would like to include, but I have removed them for now so they don't cause clutter if I can't get a pic.

Nect, I tried to adjust the colors of the border to more closly match the TG16 logo at top.  Hopefully that is going to work now.  I'm hoping I will get the test poster by this weekend.

....As far as the RAU-30 + the SCD/LTAd.... yeah good luck finding someone with all those pieces for a pic.  Technically, it would fall inside the guidelines of an unmodded setup, so if anyone has these two pieces and parts to connect on each end.... give me a pic and a name for the setup, and I will find a way to add it to the poster.... the more ridiculous the setup the better.... I would like to limit this to only one of these insane combos though (if I get any at all). 

Since the LTSCDAd doesn't fit on the IFU directly, does it work on the tail end of the RAU?  This may be a case where the only option is to put the RAU on the tail end of the LTSCDAd, which means it would have to be a SCD2 setup....   Can anyone confirm this?
