The worklog WIP for the system is HERE (http://forums.modretro.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=35)

The full worklog is on my Wordpress site (http://moddedbybacteria.wordpress.com/retro-console-system-modding-guides/turbografx-pc-engine/intografx-build/), along with other tutorials, please have a look! This project (IntoGrafx) and previous one (IntoPlay) are on two sections - finished project and how-to guides on my site. That is to keep sections separate for modding the console system and also making the portable.

Please note - the Wordpress site has a limit of 35 users on at any one time, so if the site is busy, please try again in a few minutes!
