PCE Super SD System 3 - Terraonion New Product (Dec 2017)

Very nice. Does that mean the SSDS3 is now compatible with every iteration of PCE/Turbo system that has the ext. port?

There are issues on the PAL console for sure and i think those are not worth to chase at all cause we may be hunting ghosts and ending screwing the great compatibility we have as today with NTSC consoles.

It took us a big amount of time to achieve the compatibility we have as today.

Here is an example :

Minute 1:51 on everdrive

Minute 1:38 at Super SD System 3

Yeah, I noticed the graphical glitches. Still a cool achievement, even if I can't figure out why anyone would want a PAL Turbo.

I think the same but there were some guys on Spanish forums insisting about that (to get PAL Turbograf16 working)

We just did some changes to improve the way "in game trigger" works, cause this is something that affects games and may produce issues if enabled on some games.
Then, we noticed Turbograf16 PAL was working fine. It was never our intention to get the PAL Turbografx working at all ...

I'm pretty sure the glitches in street fighter 2 should appears with original hucard too (region mod needed), i read somewhere , some PCE games have sensitive timing and might have glitches on pal turbografx.

Edit:
confirmed at minute 1:27

The issue is related to the console not the Super SD System 3
so we can consider it as a success.

Well spotted so maybe the PAL TG16 is working fine! Does look that way to me. The other thing that gives credibility to that theory is the game is fine and its just a graphical issue. I would kind of expect other problems tbh if it was the Super SD fault. It's likely that PAL / NTSC difference regards the game code. I guess more testing will prove one way or another, but it does look like its just those particular games.

You have me wagging my tongue! I have a PCE that can be used and then I can sell my Duo-R with modded 32k backup RAM (16x the original save RAM, switchable with display)

Yeah slow PAL 50Hz sucks. RGB 60Hz is the way to drive this thing anyway, always was.

Pal via HF...? Jeebus!

 

[greatfunky]

By the way, maybe the pal turbografx 60hz modded are working without issues ?

 

[powerflower]

Yupp, mod that thing or buy a NTSC Engine. Why 50Hz?

Tell them to come onto NG.com...

I will use the phrase... "Suk Mi Kuk" to them...

That's rude.
Did the UK even had Scart RGB/NTSC back in the mid 90s? Cause your arbitrary measurement issues are telling like Feet, Asses, Pounds and English breakfast... Also you are driving on the wrong side of the road

Rots dosen´t has the wrong side problem, cause he drives a tricycle

 

[powerflower]

Poor Rot. Everything is wrong with his country. Completely incompatible to the 98% rest of the world in every way and then you have tricycles...

We Germans can help you, we know how to build an airport in Berlin for like 50 years

I've been wanting to comment in this thread, but it took a while to get through it all.

This is an amazing product. It's honestly something I've thought about for a while but thought would NEVER exist. Thank you for making this. I can't order one at the moment, but once I can I will. Thank you for supporting this great system. And thank you for coming on the forum to communicate. It takes a lot of effort and thick skin at times.

Shells look awesome!

Yes, all looking very nice Excellent job!

QQ - I can see from the thread & video that the actual card works with the TurboGrafx - at least NTSC models (and jury still out on PAL, but seems to work).

Do we know yet though if the new SHELL fits Ok on the TurboGrafx EXT port? (looks like the connector on the card might be generic/square, but not sure if the whole enclosure fits OK or if it will need any plastic 'modding'?!)

Hello,

We still don´t know. All we know is that the JAP Av booster wont fit well on the NTSC TurboGrafx, not just cause the connector (our connector will fit on both pcengines and turbografx), but cause the TurboGrafx16 shell seems to be a little wider than the pcengine one.

Once the shells arrive, we will know. We are just waiting, as everyone else

Couldn't wait ...tried to place an order (USA, cleared with my bank) but the transaction isn't going through and my bank confirmed it's not on their end. 3 attempts made, all transactions denied.

Are you using a web proxy or trying to pay with a credit card issue in USA outside of usa ? the payment system checks those things to avoid frauds ...

Any news on whether the shells are compatible with the turbografx 16?

I couldn't use chase either, had to use my bank debit visa instead.

I couldn’t use chase either. I have a card with no fees for international purchases that failed 3 times even after using their “do you recognize this charge yes/no?” system each time. With it telling me to retry after each interaction.

Had to switch to a citi MasterCard.

Chase must really hate Redsys.
