And now after many years the keyboard is fixed thanks to his help and I've started my education of learning how to use PC-98 hardware anew.
#Pc 98 games looked really cool mod#
But very recently a friend of mine from my usual haunt, an Ys community called the Ancient Land of Ys, informed me that he was into doing mod work and wanted to take a shot at fixing the keyboard and learning a bit more about PC-98 hardware. 2 years now? My intention was to try and find a PC-98 keyboard the next time I visited Japan that looked like it was in good shape. I had pretty much given up on the idea of being able to fix this, so I had put my plans on learning about PC-98 hardware on hold for about I guess.
Only about 1/3 of the keys were actually making contact and as each key was a special NEC spring loaded switch soldered on the back of the the circuit board, it wasn't something I was skilled enough at fixing up, although I definitely did try to. : )Īt any rate, even though my PCs arrived from Japan in working order, the one mechanical PC-98 keyboard specifically for the PC-98DO model was not in working order. Emulators have come a long way for sure, but sometimes you just gotta hook up one of these beasts to get the full effect. I guess I had amassed a rather sizable PC-88 / PC-98 collection over the years and thought it was time I imported actual hardware to play them and get a chance to experience these and others more or less how they would have been experienced so many years ago. I originally imported a PC-98DO and a PC9821 Ce2 after researching what was available out there and the types of games I would be most interested in, mostly the Falcom series and Microcabin's Xak / Fray series being able to play them in their original releases since I own the originals of them. I came here after watching a series of wonderful videos that RobIvy64 made on Youtube and he mentioned this community as being pretty actively interested in learning and researching PC-98 hardware. I too am a PC-98 owner and I'm just now making some progress with being able to use it.
