The PC Engine RomRom Amp is a stereo speaker and amplifier accessory that sounds much better than you’d except. And the manual’s got some cute art inside. =)

PC Engine Modem – Unveiled!
According to one Japanese source the PCE Modem, or Tsushin Booster, was released as a prototype to 20-30 PC Engine groups or fans, for monitored testing. After this, up to 100 ‘final’ units were produced before NEC pulled the plug and ordered them destroyed. The 20-30 early units were not recalled, and some of the […]

Overclocking the PCEngine
RobIvy has thrown a faster clock into his PCEngine and, apparently, it was a success. Games run faster, but so does the sound. A marginal increase in speed reduces slowdown in some games without raising the pitch too much. Very interesting!

Sharp X-1 Twin Disassembly
The Sharp X-1 Twin was a weird combination unit, featuring the X-1 computer (a Z80-based precursor to the X68000) and an integrated PC Engine.

I picked up PacPix and Meteos for Nintendo’s DS yesterday, and there’ll be a review of both very soon. Initial impressions: PacPix is really well done, challenging and varied, but so […]

The NFG/GameSX Wiki
I’ve activated a wiki for GameSX and NFG Games. A wiki, if you don’t know, is a publicly editable page. Wikipedia is based on this concept. In theory, since anyone who can click a mouse can completely erase a page, no one does. There’s no street cred with teh homies for wiping out a page […]

Two rare things for your enjoy.
Recently someone auctioned off a prototype PC Engine modem on Yahoo’s Japanese auction site. This is the second one I’ve seen, but the first with software. The PCE modem was never released, and according to this auction only one hundred units were made. Check out this image of the modem and a black PC Engine. […]
