I am assuming this is just parts ripped out from a TG16 system and adjusted so they can be hooked up to a arcade cabneit right? That's pretty cool, but isn't there some kind of adapter you can buy or something that can hook up to an arcade cabneit monitor? Not sure of that though.

One thing that would be cool is to consolize that. I didn't even know there was an arcade version of the TG 16, insane. You would get good RGB out of that since it is made for Jamma. Thats the best signal ever, it will look as good as a computer monitor with Magic Engine without a doubt.

I wonder if you can somehow hook a CD unit to it. I am sure theres a way. Just got solder to pins on the board or use parts from a real TG-16. This would make an awesome project, wether you want to consolize it or put it in a cab. Of course now you can mod RGB easliy out of a TG16 or Duo thanks to Gamesx.com

I remember that system. There was an article in VG&CE about it. Forgot the name of the company, but they offered Turbo cabs like the Nintendo Playchoice systems. Obviously, it never took off, but that would be a cool little collectible. Good luck steve666, heh.

Hm...that would be interesting since I just got a new jamma cab yesterday...unfortunately, I don't think I can afford it at the moment. (Plus it's no fun to bid against someone on the same forum :) )

Scans please haha.

Tell us how it turns out for you when you win it steve. I take it you have either a cab or supergun to run it. I hope it uses the actual turbo chip games with no probs. Most arcade/home systems have different carts, even the Players Choice 10 uses these short and wide exposed boards for the games instead of NES carts.

Because the pic isnt good at all I couldnt tell for sure,but the way it looks it looks like a gutted pc engine there,with a rf on the right and ac power cord on the left,and adaughterboard included for controls and what not.But the cord plugged into the ac jack looks like it has aplug adapter for arcade crap instead.I think the guy took lousy far away pics on purpose.Email hm for larger ones.You need to get a look at the card slot,and have him list what the instructions say about what hu-cards it takes.You guys need to keep in mind this item is'nt tested,comes with no games,and you have no real idea wether it works or not.It might be neat to look at,but any dead duo is neat to look at too but no where near worth over 100 bucks.I regret even listing the link on here now knowing steve has placed at least a 100 dollar bid on it.I dont think he is getting his money worth.
The guy is asking way too much for is other auctions too,Mk 2 bios chips do not go that high.You can get a MK2 pcb itself working for far less.
You should research the stuff before you bid on it.For that matter you should check local arcade vendors inyour area.They usually dont mind letting you dig trough their junk for old stuff in hopes you will buy it.When it stops making money they dont need it anymore,and most of them do not have the time to list on auction sites.I have many arcade shops near me that I can go ig around in at any time.Funny too that you mettioned it,the arcade snes system,Godwins tried to push that crap on me many times,but its pratically useless,as the controllers are way oversized,clunky,with thumbpads way too hard to press.Alot of these places will let you nab Neo carts cheap too.Steve,rethink your bid.That hunk of scrap isnt worth that amount of cash.Id retract it and leave it where it sits,untill the guy spost better info on it,and states wether it really works or not,and what types of hu-cards it takes.

Good points. I knew it was a risky item to bid on, but my brother and I decided to take a chance. My brother has a supergun and I'm bidding on his behalf, really. He's intrigued by the documentation and wants to look it over. Obviously I'm keenly interested in this item as well, but he's the brains when it comes to technical issues.

If I recall correctly, the TG-16 arcade cabinets housed modified console hardware. I recall Victory Run as one of the games definitely used... though there might also have had some cabinets with World Class Baseball (and possibly other titles). I'm speculating here, but I believe only North Amercian HuCards would work on the hardware.

These TG-16 arcade cabinets were officially sanctioned by NEC North America, though it was a short-lived affair, I'm sure.

A year or two ago, one of the TG-16 yahoo groups had some neat photos of the TG-16 arcade hardware held aloft by an NEC executive ... this was probably scanned from a magazine (possibly the one mentioned earlier).

I am pretty certain I don't have this magazine, or any coverage of the TG-16 arcade hardware, because I have been cataloguing my library and would certainly remember this item.

I appreciate your concern, by the way, Michael :)
I don't dispute that this seller inflates prices, nor can I confirm that the hardware pictured is legit. I'll ask for more pics...

we'll see what happens :)

You know Steve, a standard JAMMA supergun won't work on that board as the edge connector is not JAMMA.  You will need a custom connector for it, which actually isn't custom but just not JAMMA.  All superguns are pretty much JAMMA.

That said I'm all over this thing.  I have a PC Engine arcade setup that I don't know if it's official nor have I ever tested it.  I need to get on that.  It's just a PCE with a timing board and some other salad on it.
