the japanese rgb monitor with integrated pc engine. has anyone ever come across this beautiful thing? I'm going through a phase right now, where I'm looking out for such type of combined systems as this and the Sharp TV/SFC sets. how much money is something like this worth? are they hard to find (I should think so..)? http://homepage3.nifty.com/rhythmsift/pceside/99offp/kd863g.jpg got the picture from here: http://homepage3.nifty.com/rhythmsift/pceside/99offr.htm
There's one on yahoo right now! http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f23623025 I really want the Sharp X1-Twin CZ-830 myself (sharp pce combo)
isn't that a computer system? edit: damn.. buy it now on the PC-KD863G is close to half a grand. I guess its rare?..
The only other place I've seen this PC-KD863G jobbie would be on Ling Jr.'s site. Very nice looking bit of kit, plus you've got a nice RGB monitor for a Supergun at the same time. Smashing These combo units are damn cool. There's also the SHARP 14G-SF1 and SHARP 21G-SF1 that are 14/21" TVs with built in SuperFami. IIRC Sharp did a TV/Fami combo too. Then there's just the ultimate Divers 2000 DC. I got to play on a 21" SFami TV at the GamesMaster Live even at the NEC years and years ago. I was more interested at the time how the SuperFamiCD drive was gonna hook in Oh, quick question, what are the three mystery System Cards in this piccie, and what are they for please? Middle row left hand side 'Super Twin Card', and the 2 on the bottom row?
you referrring to the Sharp X1-Twin CZ-830? Could well be, but with a pce pack in? I'm not entirely sure tbh..just seen it here and want it baaaad http://www.sdk-team.com/collection_nec_pce.htm
Middle left is the "Super System Card" (3.0) and the bottom two are Ten no Koe Bank (NVRAM card, backs up either PCE DUO NVRAM or RAM from a Ten no Koe Bank II) and the Games Express (Hacker International) card which unlocks numerous Games Express titles...
Thanks for that, I've only ever seen my ACDuo. When you say unlock, what do you mean? The PCE Catalogue Project shows all the GE titles as, um, sex and many variations: RPG/sex, Mahjong/sex, Other/sex So are the games normaly censored, and then this card unlocks the full pr0n? Or do the games require the card in-order to boot (if so, why)?
The games require the card to start. It's a pretty effective form of piracy prevention (Hacker titles retailed for $60-100.) BTW, the card itself is only ROM (and the games are SCDROMs) so the games MUST be played on a DUO.
