pal pc engine? UPDATED I have the clone with me:its ntsc!

http://personales.ciudad.com.ar/radiolinker/pcengine/PICT0002.JPG

has anyone ever seen one of these before? pal and pc engine compatible? I'm not sure if its clone (could well be), or the real deal. But the fact that its pal makes it extra strange (upto now I only ever heard about the pal turbografx).
my hunch is that its a clone, but I've come across very few nec clones. anyone care to share their opinion?
It looks base around the coregrafx design.

 

Its definet;y a clone, however dont be shocked that it is pal since parts of asia do use that standard as well.

 

you're right about the pal thing. are there alot of pc engine clones? you ever see this model before?

 

the chinese one that looks like a UFO? this one uses hu cards. so its definetly a clone then? how much do they tend to go for?

my confusion arose from reading on some message board - that nec, upon seeing the success of modded pal systems, had tried to sell pal pc engines through distributors but it hadn't gone too well. maybe I read it wrong - I'll look it up.

 

this yours sir?
certainly looks radical.

here's something I found:

so this may be a clone. but is there an asian pal coregrafx out there?

 

PAL PCEngines do exist. Noone can ever remeber seeing them for sale, except maybe in Spain. But fully boxed PAL PCEs do exist, just you'll have a right old time hunting one down.....

 

that's the last picture I have of this item. apparently it has the exit bus on the back. so if its a pirate, its well made.

 

I thought it was a PAL Turbo Grafx 16, and that it was gray. I don't remember there ever being a PAL PC Engine.

Anyway, my view on the system is that it's a clone. It just has that cheap clone look to it.

 

I don't think there was a PAL PC Engine from NEC butthere was a SECAM one made for France. They even got the Shuttle version as well.

There actually was a pc egine made officaly for pal, however it's the us version(turbohraphics) with a slightly different color. Wonder if they got any clones for people like me that use ntsc.............................

 

but I'm thrown off by the serial bus. I have a picture of it. The guy is dissasembling the system as we speak. its got to be a clone, but its quite impressive

 

fuck... this appears to be an NTSC model. I don't know what the hell to make of it. the guy just told me that..

edit: when I get a firmer picture of what we have here I'll let y'all know. this is confusing

edit: this guy's on crack. I don't know.. should I buy this system off him and check it out for myself?

PD: Siempre te encuentro en todos los foros eh? jaja

 

hey como andas? si - vamos por msimos caminos tu y yo

 

There is no doubt in my mind that that system is a clone.

First, I would like to mention the name. PC-2100 Video Game... This name practically screams clone. Both America and Europe got the Turbo Grafx, and Japan got the PC Engine. PC-2100 Video Game just does not sound legit.

Second, upon further inspection of the pic in the first post, I noticed the controller had four buttons, the standard PC Engine/Turbo Grafx controller only had two.

Both pics you had were not that good, so you can not really tell if it has the exit bus. It may appear to have it, but that might just be part of the design to make it look real. What you need is a good pic of the back of the system actually showing the exit bus.

 

I have very little doubt that this is a clone - but its a wierd one.

as you can see in the first 2 pictures - the bus port showing and with the lid on. the third picture is where you'd put the cable for the tv.

and here's a useless picture showing the back of the system's board. he wasn't able to unscrew it from the case to show the chips apparently... :smt017

 

So you don't think this is a clone? Why would they need to have a PAL PC Engine when they have a PAL Turbo Grafx 16. I have my PC Engine Core Grafix in my hands right now, and I am trying to compare it with those pics, but they are just too blurry. I still think it is a clone.

 

no, I ment to say that I believe its a clone.
you have to admit its impressive with the inclusion of the bus port.
