There site is going to look nice sooner or later. I hope the spirit of the old site will remain. Even though the site is bare bones, I like the art. I like to e-mail and call them because sometimes their stock might not be the same as on the web site. Excellent store. Too bad I live in New Jersey, so I have to wait till Thursday for my Turbo Duo. I hope it's well insulated because as of this moment it is raining.

Hmm, so they have Turbo Duo units in stock right now?

before, they had to add a new cord to any Japanese peripheral they brought over; with the duo controller port, they no longer had to.

But didn't the original PC Engine have the giganto DIN-8 controller port just like the TurboGrafx? If not, why would they enlarge it just for the US We're not that retarded. I took one of the DIN-8 connectors from a Turbo Tap and will use it for RGB output.

Also, why do I keep getting logged off of this site? I always check the box that says "Keep me logged in". Sometimes it works, othertimes I must log in again before posting. WTF?

The Turbo Grafx has the large input for the pads as the PC Engine, the Turbo Duo and PC Engine Duo all have the same controller ports. I have no idea why NEC did this, but they did!

No, it didn't.

Someone at NEC seemed to think we were.

I actually knew someone who modded his Turbo Grafx back in the day to take the PC Engine and Turbo Duo controllers. I was really shocked when I saw this as it basically ruined the unit!
