PCE threads are never going to work on 4chan because Most of the library boils down to:
>shmups
Which attracts that cancerous community of incel pedophiles.
>visual novels and jrpgs
Which attract shitposting from bullying nerds who think they are above other nerds.

>Does it really have any visual novels?
Stuff that was called digital comics at the time, like Yuna and Pastel Lime, and ADV/novel games like Ranma and GS Mikami, and ports like DE-JA and Cal series.
Also these days some people call games visual novels if they see anime characters and text boxes even if it's not a novel-game 'cause they don't know how the games actually play, like stat/schedule management games (Princess Maker/Graduation/Debut/Virgin Dream/etc.) and Tokimeki Memorial.

I enjoyed my time with this game even if it was a little too easy. Some of the item shops were a little tricky but given that the game is linear I always assumed the equipment got better the further I went. It was actually a little tough to find enough gold for all the spells, healing potions, and items I wanted.

>>6601163
Likewise I enjoyed my time with the Xak remakes, even if I think they're janky as fuck. For what it's worth, the PCE remakes are the least broken but that's not saying much! At least those games scroll. Fray is the best Xak game, come at me.

Another decent actiony RPG on the system is Magicoal, and while you can mostly get by you'll definitely want to look at a guide at times. Like Fray it's linear with no backtracking so you can enjoy it with some persistence. It's like a magic-only LttP. There used to be a decent translation of the menus and a mini guide on the pcefx forums but I don't know if they are still there.

The sprites are completely redrawn, the screens actually scroll instead of the herky-jerk MSX jitterbug, new cutscenes are added... The games just feel different.

Maybe you can get away with calling Xak III a port because I'm less familiar with that one, but you're either splitting hairs or ignoring something.

Granted, it still had those 'classic' Xak problems of awful platforming with insta-death traps, totally fucked game balance (in some cases the PCE is worse in this regard: in my playthrough all of the bosses past a certain point died instantly). I never finished Xak III despite the fan translation, it just felt a little too slow compared to the other games. Hence why I think Fray is the best Xak game I've played, anyhow. May be easy but it's consistent, it's cute, and it's bright and colorful.

Do love the monster design in Xak 3 though. Seriously gnarly baddies.

Isn't there an animated gif of this opening sequence animation? I can't seem to find it.

It's my favorite system to emulate at the moment. Air Zonk is a blast even though I have no idea what is happening most of the time.
Damn good port of R-Type.

I love Final Soldier too even though it's kind of basic. I'm not a shmup guy really but it's just pure fun.
It certainly had a neat personality of its own. I wish it had been more of a fight between it and the NES (and early life Genesis)

Import a Japanese PC Engine. They're cheaper and there's way more of them. Only the HuCards are region-locked, there are converters for HuCards but they've gone up in price by a lot. Everdrives bypass the region-lock with a switch depending on what console you're using. CD games can be used in any region.

It's a decent cutesy spinoff of Black Tiger. I seem to recall not understanding what the shop items were so maybe some -light- reading beforehand is all you'd need. It's a solid game.

Surprisingly few capcom platformers on the system. I never played Tiger Road and Chiki Chiki Boys seemed to look/play better on the Genesis anyway.

Nah, the extra cutscenes (contributing next to nothing of value) are nice, but the actual port is the worst out of the available versions. Arcade and MD versions blow this out of the water. You can see the typical NEC Avenue jank when there's a lot of sprites on screen. Massive sprite flicking and slowdown, especially in the later stages. Also the FM sounds are pretty weak. The soundtrack on the other hand is great and one of my all-time favs on the system.

In English? Outside of Ys1-3 (and 4), you can try:

Xak III (english fan translation)
I can't recall other RPGs on CD. A few have been started but unfinished (like Xanadu), others were started (e.g. emerald dragon) but by folks who might not be motivated at all any more.

On Hucard, there are a few more.
Out Live
Shoryu Sensen: War of the Dead (this one's neat - action RPG a la Zelda 2 with side-scrolling battles)
Makai Hakkenden Shada
Lady Sword
and a few others.

They're not RPG but action games with RPG elements, but there is also Tower of Druaga and Valkyrie no Densetsu, also with fan translations for HuCard.

I love the PSP so fucking much. I keep discovering random unknown games that turn out to be absurdly expensive to play on the physical hardware.
And sure enough whenever things are looking grim and hopeless PSP always has a port to save the day. It will forever remain my most played console.

Those compilations are the best, my favorite is the Tengai Makyou one, too bad 4th Apocalypse was released as a stand-alone and not part of the them.
Now that I think about it, there was a time, before the PC Engine emulator for the PSP was perfected, where people would use those games and modify them to run other PCE games like Rondo of Blood, Bonk, Ghost Sweeper Mikami, etc

What are some good recommendations for games to play on the system? I've played the three Bomberman games on it (thought '94 was the best of the bunch). I generally enjoy platformers, so maybe something like Bonk would be good? Was also thinking of maybe giving Neutopia II a try because it seems to have heavily inspired elements of Bomberman Tournament (a game I highly enjoy).

>PCE threads are never going to work on 4chan
No, 4chan is fine if you exclude obvious containment boards such as /v/ and /vr/. The only threads that work here are for games that are unanimously liked by anons, because they have the magic of having every schizo shitposter go "hold on I have an opinion on this game I like, I'm gonna actually post about it instead of being a pretend contrarian". It really is like fucking magic, you see ZERO wojaks and forced attempts at trolling.
Unlike something like the PC Engine where the first post is literal bait because people don't care about it.

Never mind, that Sapphire game was awful. Just a crapshoot of where the projectiles are going to come out of and what counts as a solid object. Every time I died it was because I couldn't react in .02 seconds, what a load of shit. I remember now why I don't like shooters. It would have been at least tolerable if it wasn't for that horribly annoying screechy dadrock soundtrack. No wonder that game was lost to time.

Blood Gear is pretty decent! It was made by Hudson, and I think from the guys that made the Wonder Boy games, so it plays a bit like it except with mechs.

There's a little bit of fumbling around in the town portions but I don't recall it being too hard to get to the action scenes. It's not a bad game.

If you're emulating you need the arcade card BIOS named syscard3.pce.

If playing on original hardware, you need an arcade card Duo or the Pro. The Duo is much cheaper, but you need a Duo system or a PCE Super CD ROM attachment which comes with the extra RAM.

Sapphire's a great game. I remember hearing the soundtrack was made by the same guys who did Air Zonk's, but I could be misremembering.

When I was a kid my parents couldn't afford to get me one for Christmas, and miraculously my mother won one from Taco Bell. They had a promotion running called "score 25 and win". My mom was really depressed at how me and my brother only asked for the one shared gift, and we couldn't afford it, she had a dream that night in which she saw my dead grandfather on the beach and he told her everything was gonna be okay. The next day she stopped at taco bell drive through for a soda after work (something she'd never done before), and peeled off the label on the cup and found out that we won. On Christmas day after me and my brother opened all our gifts, we tried to not let the dissapointment on our faces show because we knew the situation, and while we hadn't gotten what we hoped for, we didn't want it to show. My parents then had us open this one last gift. Me and my bro unwrapped a plastic taco bell cup, (the PC Engine hadn't arrived in the mail yet) and were confused until they said "read it", we did, and we lost our minds with happiness. You always see those contests, and you think nobody ever wins, but they do. Till this day, I still can't believe it happened, and made it the most memorable Christmas of my life. God is good.

Back in the mid80s my sister won a 10-speed from McDonalds.

The older brother of a kid I went to school with won a Viper RT/10, from the McDonalds Monopoly game, but his family had money. So who knows how much money he blew before pulling that prize out of his ass.

Myself, I took managed to get one of the runner-up prizes for Cartoon Network's Samurai Jack contest. The grand prize was a trip to Japan, while 5 runner-ups got a set of 5 figures. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Still got the figures somewhere, still in their boxes.

Same here. I had always wanted the TurboGrafx because of all the amazing screenshots of games like Ys I saw in EGM and Gamefan. Some time in 98, I saw a TurboDuo bundle which had a lot of the games I had wanted, all those amazing pack-in games with the Duo, a couple of the Working Designs games, Splatterhouse, Neutopia 1+2, Legendary Axe, Alien Crush, etc. and it even came with a TurboExpress alongside oddly a Power Glove. An amazing bundle for $300USD, but got me started, as there was no region locking on CD-ROM games the junk bins in Japan had so many treasures. I really loved the games, and thought the value was amazing. I still have the VHS ads which sold me on a TurboDuo before I ever had one. I can't imagine any other console which included so many amazing games packed in.

Seriously, the key to playing these on a pleasant afternoon, sitting on your floor with a tasty beverage at hand, is to have one of those little metal wire display stands for CD cases/small books so you can have the game case standing there upright, off to the side of the screen, with the full glorious cover art staring at you, letting you glance at it and then back to the game.

I've had a turbo duo for a minute. Had to recap it. Once I did though the CD drive needs recalibrating. Kinda sad I don't wanna just fiddle with it Willy nilly. Need to get and oscilloscope. I need to run mod it too.

what a fucking pain in the ass

this is why i skipped the cd addon despite the list of incredible titles


we're emulationfags until the sd cd addon becomes reasonable


no $300 for the 8-10 i actually want to play on the briefcase is not reasonable

i could poach a neogeo aes right now with a controller for that exact price

you mean the terraonion SSD thing for the PC Engine? I had heard about that and was interested but (since I had a duo) I wasn't about to buy a PCE and a SSD when I already had hardware.

Well first of all you don't want the Turbo Duo unless it's already been recaped and tuned. I have a Duo-R I got for a reasonable price, but dispite replacing the laser unit it still doesn't read much of anything. Even the Duo-R and RX's are going to need recapped and they're Surface Mount Caps too. But I have that briefcase Unit and it works perfectly. And for some reason the Pro Arcade Cards were sub $100 a few months ago so I grabbed one.

Explain what? You realize that's the bare board, and people tend to put these into a case. The same way you don't leave JAMMA boards sitting in a supergun when you have people over for gaming.

Also, most people don't give a shit what's sitting next to someone else's TV when they come over.

a toaster can run a PC Engine emulator. If you want to spend the money on a PC Engine, everdrive, CD system and the system cards, you're looking at around $400 spent.

we do have toasters anon
however, I have the launch white pc engine
& the turbo everdrive 2.5

so its looking like since the only game i want to play that actually requires the arcade pro RAM cart is sapphire


>for anyone else lurking
turbo everdrive can be used as duo/super cd cards when combined with cd system addon

so i think im poaching the briefcase

the super CD sd system everdrive is out of stock everywhere and 300+

They were not pricey, that's part of what made them so worthwhile back in the late 90s. A lot of fun for poor videogame fans. It was a shame they system and games were not more popular, but on the other hand, they may not have been so cheap if they were popular.

>>6643279
That is the sad reality of playing retro games with the original hardware. Repairs and workarounds will be needed as time goes on. Maybe Analogue will consider an Analogue TG or some Mister core will be fully developed to help with us fans of the PC-Engine.

>>6643605
Yes, that's exactly what's on the VHS. I am glad they swapped Dungeon Explorer for Ninja Spirit as part of the pack-in bundle as Ninja Spirit is more aligned with my tastes. I think Tony Hawk produced the Lords of Thunder VHS promo video, too. The games on the TurboDuo/PC-Engine appealed so much to me back then. I guess free VHS tapes and magazines were how I coped with being poor and imagining the great games, until they became cheap enough to own.
