I love this. Can't get enough of it. I bet it's saying "Please shoot me!" I hope it's playing Magical Dinosaur Tour.







I wish someone would make IFU adapter cables. I'd buy a set. That way you could hook your US Turbo to your JP IFU and have it safely laying next to the IFU. Reversely, I'd like to see a cable to make JP stuff work with the US IFU. That way I could hook up a SuperGrafx to my Turbo CD. My RGB mod is in my US IFU, so that means I could play SuperGrafx games in RGB without molesting the actual SuperGrafx. It'd look stupid, but I wouldn't be staring at the mess of a console while playing.

Just get an RAU-30 and shave off a bit of plastic.

That would work for hooking a SuperGrafx to my US CD-ROM? The RAU-30 doesn't pass power through does it?

It doesn't for the SuperGrafx, but the same goes for any CD-ROM.

Anyone know how to resolve the issues I'm having with my IFU?



That loud deep sounding audio hum is usually caused by using an AC adapter with too low of amperage. Might fix your everdrive issues as well if you get a better Power supply.

Thanks for the response! I guess I'll try ordering one of these and hope that it works:

It doesn't for the SuperGrafx, but the same goes for any CD-ROM.

Well then we're back at square one. I'll ask Rene over at dbElectronics if I can pay him to build me a custom cable.

You could also just buy an RGB modded Tennokoe II from mickris and keep it on your SuperGrafx.

This beast has never been photographed before, correct?

This my new favorite chimera (to steal nullity's succinct term).

Not sure. Probably not.

It's just a case of the shape of the expansion ports being different. Otherwise the pins do line up. But I guess no one had any interest in hacking away at some of the plastic to make it fit.
