- Before The GBA SP There Was THIS! What Is It And Can I Fix It? | PC Engine LT
Today we're going to take a look at the PC Engine LT. A very obscure semi-portable console with a clamshell design much like the beloved Nintendo GBA SP. Not only is this a fully operational PC Engine Console (TurboGrafx-16) it also has a few really neat tricks up its sleeve. Plus, the one that I bought for this video is broken, I'm hoping I'll able to fix it. Watch to find out!

Kudos to NEC and Hudson for being able to squeeze a fairly powerful game system down to such a small size. Also, the A/V port negates the need to do this, but couldn't you technically connect a digital converter to make this compatible with modern television signals? You used to be able to get those for free back in the late 2000s through government coupons.
Yeah I remember that back in the day when there was all those commercials about the transition to digital. Feels like ages ago. I guess I’m getting old 😅
i mean you could treat the EXT ANT as a coax input, so you could plug your original NES right into this, via AV or COAX.
you could also probably use this to play with SDR, slap a big antenna on your roof, pull in some weather images, onto your computer, then decode them and rebroadcast it at J-NTSC to your little PC Engine LT
@@MachoNachoProductions You're old when it is recent for you ^^
@@MachoNachoProductions I remember these as well. Every channel was warning everyone that they wouldn't be able to watch TV anymore if they didn't get a digital antenna. I think we're about the same age. Crazy to think how fast we are getting old.
@@MachoNachoProductions given the footprint of this clam-shell NEC GT , , wouldn't it be wild to set this on top of a Nintendo GAMECUBE and hook it in through the AV/input on the NEC ? Then play some GC "Twilight Princess" or "Resident Evil-remake" or "Need for Speed : most wanted" , , , ,
The retention tabs ARE actually charging connectors for when its plugged on the IFU, and for the 2 players, it's the same as the original PC-Engine, which got only 1 controller port. You need to plug a multitap, which can be used to plug the player 2 controller while player 1 still plays on the integrated controller.
I need to get an interface unit and a cd rom2. I didn’t know that about the tabs
@@MachoNachoProductions Yeah, you have some sick games on the CDROM system. If you can get an RGB modded IFU, its oerfect. And anyway, thanks for making some videos on the best 4th génération console !
I'm so jealous! As I huge PC Engine fan, this is my holy grail console. I don't think I could even afford a broken one :/
It’s a shame they’re so expensive. It’s mostly driven by how few were made since they didn’t sell very well. And they were only sold in Japan too.
It's my holy grail to
Same. I would take a broken one, if in good cosmetic condition, just for display too.
I always have time for a PC Engine, the Hudson soft shooter were fantastic, I still play Gunhead to this day. Must admit, I'd never heard of this model, but since it was a fail and never saw beyond Japan, it's hardly a surprise. Very nice repair, cleverly thought through, I keep promising myself a Hakko desolder gun but like many things, never enough cash. Great video Tito..
Thank you Paul! So glad you enjoyed the video! Agree, the pc engine was a shooter beast! Many great titles for sure! I hope you’ll get the Hakko desoldering tool someday, it’s a godsend
I also keep procrastinating buying a hot air station and a desoldering tool. Wick, flux and tons of time until I finally take the plunge! By the time I get one, I'll have served my time without using easy mode!
Wow! I thought I'd seen all the retro systems but I've never heard of this thing. I love the form factor and the way this thing looks! For the time period that display actually looks pretty good! Thanks for the great video!
Glad I could show you this cool console and that you enjoyed the video 🙏! Cheers tehlastninja!!
It's nice to see the Hucard slot getting removed during this process & congrats on the repair!
I would like to mention that sadly Isopropyl alone isn't enough to prevent the boric acid & electrolyte contamination from eating away at any impregnated vias. I typically remove the DC-to-DC converter, inductor in that area as these are areas that it likes to seep under. Vias being eaten under the DC-to-DC converter are becoming a regular find; such as two units recently worked on with major damage to that component & 30V backlight rail. I also tend to reflow and plug all the vias in the backlight 30V area (under the regulator) after neutralisation & cleaning.
The last few I have had to do quite a bit of trace repair in addition to vias plugging.
Your unit was in surprisingly good condition compared to the last several I have been sent to work on, so I just wanted to make you aware.
Dude! Thank you so much Simon! I’m going to reach out to you for more advice on this. I’m a bit nervous about the residual electrolytic fluid and how to neutralize it. I thought IPS would be enough. You advice is always welcome! Thanks again, cheers!
@@MachoNachoProductions white vinegar then iso should be fine
As a TurboExpress owner with TV Tuner I never understood the PC Engine LT other than larger screen but I kind of understand for the market it was released in. I think you got a great deal on an obscure piece of gaming history and it’s definitely in the right hands to get back up and running. I use to connect my Super Nintendo to my TurboExpress thru it’s AV input just for fun. There’s HD digital tuner boxes that were available when the US was switching over to digital TV future so you can hook one of those up
Nice! I still need to get the tuner accessory for the GT (even though they don’t work 😅). Thanks man, yeah I thought it was a pretty good deal so I had to snag it.
Haha running a snes in the ps engine! Nice dude! I’ve thought about picking up a digital tuner and hooking it up
@@MachoNachoProductions
I am selling one on ebay uk,i will do you a great deal as i really enjoy your videos.ebay seller tammuirs
thank you for replying to my multiple comments and answering all my questions. means a lot and I wish more creators were like you
I really appreciate people with the technical knowledge (and steady hands!) to restore old tech like this. Sure, it might not be the most convenient (or cheapest) way to play PCE/TG16 games, but it helps ensure that there's still one more device that can!
Soooo. You're going to make a portable battery pack to PCE LT adapter now right? I mean, that seems like the logical next step. Make it truly portable!
Haha perhaps 😉
That is seriously a cool little console! Glad to see you were able to save this one. The Hakko desoldering gun is a great tool, I recently used mine to pull the PPU from my AV Famicom and the desoldering gun made it simple.
Thanks Philip! Totally agree, it a major time saver and does a great job every time. Just gotta do a little maintenance on it every once in a while
13:04 ❤ the Fifth Element! And this is a really cool handheld game system. Thanks for the opportunity to learn about it.
Btw, I really enjoyed the production values of the recent intros. Especially the Gamecube with cartridge vid. That 3D effect is awesome. And the music on that video. Top notch!
Thank you so much Marco 🙏 really appreciate it dude!
@@MachoNachoProductions No probs.
BTW, I know a guy who is selling a Wii Devkit.
YESSS!!! I gotta say that I love this intro and the music, it is kind of nostalgic, thanks for bringing it back, I could watch a longer montage video in the style of the intro with a longer music of similar type, thanks again.
So glad you enjoy it buddy! Cheers!
Well done! I very much enjoyed this video and never knew that this type of portable consoles existed! Kudos to you on your newest addition do your collection!
Also, thank you for working on how you present yourself and your videos. I watch entirely too much TH-cam and every TH-camr sounds exactly the same. It’s like they wrote a book on how to speak on TH-cam and everyone sounds just like another channel. I don’t know anyone actually reads my comments because I don’t have a TH-cam presence, but to me, it sounded like you were working on not using the same tones to make your points through the whole video and I appreciate that! Thank you!
I love that you break down your cost. So many tubers talk about Sendico like their getting things for next to nothing. That is not the case! Nacho Libre!
This is actually incredible to see, I always knew about the original PCEngine GT they released, but this just takes it to a whole new level!
The fact that Hudson, the people who made the first 8 Mario party’s also made this is a weird but cool feeling
Wow, what a weird little relic of time gone by, it's amazing to me that after 30 years the screen is still as good as it is. Thanks for another great video Tito, keep up the great work!
Glad you enjoyed this one ratykay! I totally agree dude, the screen is seriously impressive given how old it is! Cutting edge stuff from the 90s!
You're work is the most skillful and cleanest soldering i've ever seen so far. One of the reason i watch this channel. You make it look so easy. 😆
🙏
The interior work was insanely clean. I always get mad at the messy solder jobs in youtube videos, so this was a balm.
No joke, I saw one of these at a garage sale once! The guy hosting the garage sale was telling me all about it, and I thought it was weird, never heard of it, and to be honest didn't really care for it. He was asking $200 bucks for it and I thought that was way too expensive and quite ridiculous that he wanted that much for it. Plus I only had like $50 bucks with me. Now watching this video and seeing that price tag, boy do I wish that I had boughten it.
Just found out your channel. Gonna leave a comment about the fluidity of the video, very streamlined and chilled, good stuff!
Thank you Francine! Glad you’re enjoying the channel and also happy you found it 😁
The Ext Ant Jack can also be used as an input. Most older portable tvs have them and I love using them to play old consoles. You just need a coax-1/8” adapter.
Love these obscure pieces of tech history
Same! The obscure pieces are always so interesting 😁
Great job on bringing this console back to life! Also 5th element was one of my favorite movies too! 🤯
I remember the GT was in the movie Enemy Of The State with Will Smith. It was used to hide a memory card with the file of the guy getting assassinated at the park.
Blame it on ReviewTechUSA that the PS5 dev kit video was taken down
Great video! I'm glad this handheld went to a good home. I enjoyed watching your soldering skills.
Thank you Henjo29🙏 really appreciate it buddy!
I've repaired a "lot" (ie about 7-8) PC Engine LT, you are doing pretty well ! Most people are not removing HuCard connector but there is some capacitor leak under in most cases. For LT that show no sign to life (no green light when power on) the DC-DC converter chip needs to be changed. It just die when capacitors are too far from their expected value, I tried installing a new converter before changing the capacitors for testing, and it just instantly killed the new DC-DC converter. Changing the capacitors and changing again the DC-DC converter just made the console work again ;)
Awesome thanks for the heads up and advice! I’ve heard the dc-dc converter were another potential repair that would be needed. Thankfully mine seemed to be okay. Cheers!
Underrated as hell channel, just like how the TurboGrafx/PcEngine is underrated. Amazing to watch, I don’t trust myself to do anything even remotely close to this complex lmao.
Thank you Matthew 👍 glad you’re enjoying the channel dude!
Your content and production quality are on another level. I can learn a ton from your channel as a general viewer and content creator! Great video! Subscribed. 👍🏻
Thank you RetroPC 🙏
This is the second time you show me something retro that I didn't know existed. Please keep it coming this is awesome
So glad I can show you new things SkepticalTile! Cheers my friend!
Wow, this is a great addition to your collection, nice catch.
Thanks Luca! I’ve actually be hunting one down for a few years. Finally snagged one and am so grateful 🙏😁
Been a minute tito! Wow that was a epic video! Your audio sounds different from b4.. I love that you watched the 5 element on the PC handheld haha
Hey dude! Long time! Hope you’re doing well! Hopefully the audio sounds better 😅
I always love it when future tech is a forgotten relic of the past.
Wireless television is one of the best examples.
I also loved the old RF switches.
Say what you will about the image quality. But the fact is, I could hook up the VCR, NES, and Genesis all up to the television and take up only one input. Turn a device on, the TV instantly switches from TV broadcast to the console or VCR. Turn the device off, instantly back to TV. No selecting which input to use. It was just automatic.
I really wish modern cables worked in the same manner.
thanks for making this video - can refer back it when replacing the caps on my own faulty LT unit 😊
Dude, I used to do this at my old job; great work on all the soldering and explanation. Great video man.😊
Thank you Silver Mane🙏! So glad you enjoyed the video dude! What was your old job?
@@MachoNachoProductions Electronics technician for a manufacturing company. I soldered/de-soldered components on boards, repairs, etc. The high end technicians used Hakko soldering stations and the lower technicians used Weller. Do you have any certifications and where did you get your training?
watching the fifth element on that screen is fitting and charming
I couldn't agree more! My favorite absolute favorite movie!
Love this! Never knew this console was a thing. What a treasure and it's vids like this of why I love your channel.
Thank you bro 👍! I’m thrilled I could show you something new! Cheers my dude!
Cool video, it's very rare to see one of these. As for the controller port, I'd definitely have it work this way rather than it being a direct route to having a second player join. That being said, I imagine it works like a regular pc engine, no? Meaning that, if you plug in a multitap you will be able to plug in more controllers and have multiple players join the game in supported games.
Didn’t even now such a device exists. Great video showcasing it Tito 👍🏽👍🏽
So glad I could introduce you this this console Eathen 😁. I’m thrilled you enjoyed the video 🙏
That thing is really cool, I've never seen or heard of that version of the pc engine. I bet even some of the biggest pc engine fans don't even have one of those. Pretty cool you got it working again
Glad I could show this pc engine revision to you and so glad you enjoyed the video! I was so thrilled I was able to get it working again!
I worked for NEC. As far as gaming consumer electronics, they're nothing without Hudson. It's like working for a huge oil tanker and trying to explain how cool it would be to act like a speedboat.
Thank for this. I didn't know how to recap surface mount caps.
Hey Tito, love your videos! Was wondering if you might have plans to do more PS2 content? Some exciting stuff out there, especially for slims, using things like the Rapsberry Pi and Orange Pi to run backups through the Ethernet port on the back. I think this is something that would be right up your alley to explore.
Thank you so much Christopher 🙏 that means the world to me! I do have some more ps2 videos in the pipeline. Stay tuned my friend! 😁
Love the PC Engine Duo you have there!
Awesome console. Do a video on it!
Sweet baby jebus!! 😯 How many of us are feeling a small form of anger about the fact we did not know about this rig until we watched this video? Lol.
Ya know when you're listening to music and you hear a part of a song that then makes you think HOLY CRAP this OTHER band has a bit in a song that is almost exactly like this..wtf??? I see the influence now, ah me smart. I'm having one of those feels about this on top of the mild anger 🤔
hey man, my daughter and I still love your videos. I hope you're doing well. its amazing what you have done. Keep up the great videos and keep being a great person. TTYL
Thank you Johnnie! It’s great to hear from you brother! Cheers!
Nice work! In my almost 41 years I don't think i've seen more than photos of these! mind you I didnt really have much of a chance in the uk., I remember seeing adverts for the PCEngine GT. They were incredibly scarce and really expensive when they were released. I've still never actually held one. One day dammit!
Glad you got one. I was fortunate to have gotten one when I was a kid. I still have it CIB. And 5 years ago I got a second one as well for a great deal.
After fixing more then 5 pc engine gt and a few turbo express, I order my first pc engine LT, they add is telling me it needs work, so I’m sure it’s a gamble, but I can’t wait to do what you just did in your video!!
My pc engine lt is coming from Japan very soon
That thing is awesome! I knew about the GT/TurboExpress, but never saw that unit before. The fact that it has an input is incredible!
You should consider the possibilities of adding a digital TV tuner to the unit - that might be complicated, but cound be a cool video.
Also, a note about the controller port - the PC Engine/TurboGrafx only had one controller port and required a tap to use two. Does this unit support that tap?
Exactly what I came here to say regarding the Turbo Tap.
Never knew this one existed😳 Btw you can somewhat use the TV tuner with an RF modulator 😁
That could be a fun experiment to get television back onto the pc engine LT!
@@MachoNachoProductions follow up video on this 🤔
@Old Liquid Yea, old TV transmitters in low power are fairly cheap these days...
@@MachoNachoProductions I was thinking you could connect a digital tuner to the AV input so you can at least watch OTA TV on it as a bit of a novelty. Still pretty clunky and not very portable but it would be pretty neat! Thanks for another great video!
Its cool to see alot of these earlier handhelds
Man, what an awesome video. You put so much time, effort, and money into this. I really appreciate your hard work! Loved every second of this.
Thank you so much Stephen 🙏 that truly means a lot. Cheers dude!
Those consoles are so cool. Congrats! I gotta get on that Sendico. I wonder if there is a way to convert these old tv tuners to digital tuners somehow. Great vid 👍
Thank you Gabriel! That would be a great if there was a way to convert the analog receiver to digital!
What tha? Never knew this existed, very fascinating. Tito keeps surprising us with these sorts of videos.
So glad you enjoyed this one and that I could show you something new 🙏😁
This is a rare one. Thank you for sharing and congrats to you. I am super jealous.
Thank you John! I feel blessed to have it in my collection. Cheers my friend!
I really like that intro logo of yours for macho nacho productions gave me 90s MTV vibes! Nostalgia :)
Every time I learn of a new (to me) piece of hardware by NEC I'm instantly charmed. What a delightful device, this PC Engine LT!
Finally found another one who considers The fifth element, one of his favorite movies! Not feeling that alone anymore! Best regards, Tito!
That is so awesome. I really wish I had something like this back in those days. But was too expensive plus I really never heard about this. I like that you can plug in other things in there too lol.
It’s so cool that the AV input worked! I tried that with a 3DO and that xbox controller with a screen on it, and when I turned it on I smelled smoke and it hasn’t worked since 😅 luckily I hoarded it for 20 years and now I’m learning how to repair this stuff
Been looking for a decent one of these for a long time, nice score Tito!
Same here! Been looking for a few years! Finally jumped on one that looked pretty decent. A lot of them are yellowed and this one is still pretty grey. Cheers dude!
The Turbo Express / PC Engine GT also had a TV Tuner add-on with AV IN. I remember moving in 2001 and not having a TV when we first found a place to live so I used my Turbo Express to watch the premiere of Star Trek Enterprise, haha. And I've used the AV IN with a Sega Genesis!
What an amazing nifty little console. I never heard of it until now and that thing is awesome.
Totally agree! One of my favorite obscure consoles! Cheers Sekiro!
its been 5 seconds and i already subbed!
amazing channel! you deserve more!
This episode was a treat. I never heard of such a thing. I only ever saw the two models. I would have bought it back in the day had it been released here. Lol
That is one of the most cyberpunk things Ive ever seen. Like retrofuturistic tech from Bladerunner or something. So cool!
Wow for the time that was amazing unit. NEC for most time had one of the best displays and it shows.
Yeah! They were certainly an electronics powerhouse back in the day
This is so cooooool. I love clamshell design!
Amazing video! More than I ever knew about this device.
Thank you Matthew! So glad you enjoyed this one and that I could should you something new!
@@MachoNachoProductions Thanks again!
Never heard of this before. So quirky and I'm glad you didn't spend too much to get it working!
I’m so happy the repair worked out. I was extremely nervous there would be something else wrong with it.
Great job friend, new subscriber!
That’s a cool system. I live the Fifth Element also. I remember watching it in theaters
Fifth Element, I see you’re a man of fine taste. I was really happy seeing it fire up and I didn’t have any skin in the game. Great video as always.
Thank you Ken! Fifth element is probably my favorite sci-fi movie of all time. Up there is blade runner.
@@MachoNachoProductions Those are two of my favorite movies. Great choices. Have watched each countless times.
I finally got my hands on a PC engine , what a great little system . I still want the gt and lt .
I THINK you need a Multi-Tap to play any game with a second player as all NEC consoles only have one controller port. Clean repair and as always great video!
Thanks Adam! Yep you’re correct! I don’t know why o thought The LT might be a 2 player system. I guess it though it could be like the Sega nomad 😅
would have loved this one back in the day as a kid. the tv feature and having a small console with built in screen so the rest could still watch tv would be a huge factor!
Totally agree dude! Imagine if this was battery powered and you could take it on road trips and camping!
I remember reading about the PC Engine LT in game magazines back in the day and wanting one sooo bad...
I couldn’t even imagine how cool it would have been to have this back in the day! I remember a friend of mine had the tv tuner for the game gear that I thought was absolutely incredible!
Keep up the great work. I wish you success.👍
Thank you dude 🙏! Same to you!!
Damn dude! Amazing work!
Thank you brother 🙏
both the GT and LT are fantastic pieces of gaming history
I agree with this statement 😁
The built in AV input reminds me of my old PSone with the screen. I used the AV input on that a fair amount when I was younger to have a screen in my room and anywhere else we didn't have tv at home. What nice about something like this is you can have you PS2 or Dreamcast on the dresser and the screen in your bed.
That’s true! I think as a kid this would have been amazing. It’s essentially like have a regular tv (except it’s really small 😅)
Am a huge PC Engine fan! Can't wait for the Analogue Pocket PC Engine cart adapter and the Analogue Duo!
how freakin cool is that?! not seen nor heard of this one, what a piece of hardware!
So glad I was able to show you something new! Definitely my favorite obscure console revision!
Where is your PS5 Devkit Video?
Great Video btw
This was a very fun video. I half expected an IPS screen to be featured that fit within this system.
If I find one of these with a broken screen, I’ll definitely look to doing an IPS mod to it. Since this one is working perfectly, I’m going to keep it all original. I also think the old school lcd video quality looks pretty neat too 😁
@@MachoNachoProductions do you know if there are replacement shells for the LT system? I’m eyeing that broken one on eBay you mentioned. But with a jacked up shell it’s very passable to me.
I’ve never seen this, but I did own the Turbo Express for a bit and loved it.
The turbo express is one of my favorite handheld designs. Truly superb!
With the EXT ANT, you can connect a digital converter box to it to use it as a TV.
Nice! I didn’t know that! Thanks for the heads up!
@@MachoNachoProductions Thank you for sharing this marvelous device! And for bringing it back to life!
You will need an antenna as well - it bypasses the internal antenna. I have a '87 5" portable CRT TV and that's how we did it.
Great video as always!
Thanks Rami!
I learn from you every time I watch your videos...
I love how its so portable, i can carry everything in my Jnco pants
Oh man I remember really wanting jnco jeans back in the day 😂
I have the gt never even new about the Lt will be keeping my eyes peeled need it
this was definitely the cooler looking and more featured version of pc engine gt, or turbo express
Man I love the pc engine, such an elegantly designed console with such a nice modular design
I 100% agree!
Lol I wrote this before I heard you talking about how elegant they were, glad to see we share the same opinion
😲- Woah, the PC Engine LT is cool!
The thumbnail did not do justice to just how CHONKY this console is. XD
That's like, what, 3 classic Gameboys worth of volume?
I love the chunky, but beautiful design.
