Author Topic: Got my PCE+CD! (Read 838 times)

I got my PCE+CD unit today (shipping only took like three days!)! It rules so much, but unfortunately it IS the buttered popcorn colored one (same one in pic). However the only part that is yellow is the top, so I can easily remove the CD lid and bleach that for awhile. The only part that will be yellow is the part with the buttons, but maybe I could find a way to clean that too later.

So when I do this bleach, I just take off the lid, apply a little petrolium jelly to the labels (just incase they wash out) and just throw the lid in a bucket a bleach and leave it there for a day? Also my PCE is quite dirty, but I plan on selling it and using the money to buy a complete PCE system off Japan Game Stock, but I will probably bleach this system too sometime.

When I first tried playing it, I couldn't get it to work. I didn't know you had to move that little lock thing on the interface unit to the right in order to work. I was getting pissed that it wasn't working right until my brother messed with it on his first try and got it to work, heh.

This is my favorite video game console hook up of all time

. Now I am just waiting for my Avenue 6 + Street Fighter II' and Bomberman '94 to come in the mail. I'll hopefully be buying a standard PCE pad off this woman online along with a game maybe.

Awesome man.

But I'm tellin ya...butter flavoured is the way to go.

You know I licked it and it does have a certain taste different from most plastic. It tastes and smells like Japanese hardware

.

By the way everyone, the PCE is sleeping on my bed tonight.

Hey,in your other post,I offered to send you a white cd deck shell,let me know if you want it,free of charge,you pay the postage
its pure white,no scratches.

I thought about that but I'm not sure. Disassembling it might be risky and difficutly and I'm not sure if I want to go through with it. Since the CD lid is the only yellow part, I can easily unscrew it and soak it in bleach.

I am so jealous, you got my dream system. One of these days I'll be lucky and get a setup like yours.

AWESOME goodness, Keranu, you goddam bastard

Or replace it with the white cd lid Id be sending you,prob be whiter then th ebleaching
Either way,good luck.Make sure you dry the spinner area out really well if you soak the lid

I won't be doing any bleaching until after all my other stuff comes in the mail and I get at least one good day of playing everything. If it's possible, I am going to try taking on the little CD holder. Does anyone have any tips for bleaching?

Steve, you HAVE to get one of these! I nearly creamed my pants when I was playing around with. There is so much extra stuff to it that I never knew about from reading and looking at pictures. If you observe the system enough, you'll notice how much work was put into it to make it perfect! Every bit of detail on this baby is beatiful and well worth the price I paid (Which was only $120, half complete with four games and a six button controller! Fine, fine deal!). Oh and the LED display is so beatiful (it says "PC" when you play games!). I would love to get a TG16+CD set up someday as well, but this will always be lover from now on!

By the way, I showed my cousin this a couple hours ago, so I had to walk down the street holding my briefcase for a block and of course the same on the way back. People must think I am a luxurious kind of guy when they see me walking down the street with my high tech briefcase.

Yes, or that you were strutting around with some sort of old-skool boombox!

Seriously, Keranu, I always end up spending money on new games instead of getting new hardware. But then, after I crapped out $200 bucks for a bunch of games, I realize that I could have gotten some kool hardware.

Take D-lite's recent systems for sale... I promised myself I'd get something as soon as I had the cash, but then I blow my whole budget on games and VG soundtracks.

I can't wait to see all the kool little details of the PCE suitcase! Ahhhh, I'm glad you got one -- it's given me more incentive to get one myself.

You will fall in love with it as much as I have

. Steve I'm telling you now, SAVE your money from games and get one of these! You will be so glad you did

. By the way, don't you have a standard PCE system?

Yes, I have two CoreGrafx systems: one is minty in the box (i rarely play it), the second is my "work" console...

... of course I'd want everything to match, so I'd eventually have to get an original white PCE console to go along with the white suitcase.

I'll try to start saving now, but I bet something will go awry...

I'm surprised how cheap I got mine for. I figured the deal I got would have been $150 at least, and that's a bit optimistic.

When they are yellow ,they dont go for as much at all,because some of the yellowing could have been caused by a smoker,and that isnt good news for the laser lens.Its more of a gamble when getting a yellow cd deck.Probably still a better bet then a Duo,but still none the less a gamble.Im glad your works ok.A really good test for it would be something like Art of Fighting,or World Heroes 2.They use the laser alot on random reads,and if your deck cant keep up,and load the game right,you know there is a problem.

I started bleaching the CD lid yesterday at 2:30pm. Right now it's 10:57am and hopefully by 2:30pm today it will be about ready. I checked it out about an hour ago or so and it looks a little whiter than before, but still yellow. I'll read the yellowing post and see what I have to scrub it with when I take it out. I'm not sure if this PCE system was originally in a smoker's house because when I smell around and inside it, it doesn't smell like it's been in a smoker's house. I guess it's just sunlight or something. I'll be sure to have it equiped in it's briefcase to protect it from violent sunrays

.

When I get an Arcade Card, I'll be sure to try out the games you mentioned Michael so I can see how it runs. I tried running a couple CD-Rs (Flash Hiders and Anearth Fantasy Stories) - Flash Hiders wouldn't boot since there appeared to be something on the back of the CD and Anearth loaded but it loaded just a little slower than official CD games.

I don't know if I said this already, but if anyone has a dead white PC Engine system, I'd like to have one just to decorate my room.
