Turbobooster Plus Mod Questions/Idea
« on: November 09, 2011, 08:44:04 AM »
With the high prices of Turbobooster Pluses these days, I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be possible to duplicate the save functionality from one?   I've never even seen one in person, so I really have no clue if this is even possible, but it might make for some interesting conversation anyway.    :-k

Welcome to the forums.  I don't know of a way and I can't recall if the TGCD base houses such functionality (as I have never owned a TGCD).  DUOs(R/RX) do have this functionality though.

Could a cheap Tennokoe 2 be modified to fit the back of a Turbob?

A Tennokoe Bank with a cutting edge Chopsado® would probally work.
I would consult the development team for device use and compatibilty.

Tennokoe Bank cards are for transferring from internal memory only.  Silly buster.  :P

Thanks for the warm welcome.  I've been lurking around for the past year or so.  I only have 2 games, so I don't have much to post about. 
From what I've been reading, it sounds like the CD base does have the saving capability.   I was hoping that someone had looked into reverse engineering a cheaper solution.

I bought a tennokoe 2 and made a booster out of it. all you need is a hack saw blade, some wire, and some rca jacks. open it up, and trim the rounded edges off the connector. It will plug right into the back of a tg16 perfectly. After that all i needed was to tap the audio and video off the connector and run them to rca jacks i installed in the tennokoe 2.

Well the tennokoe mod all i really had to do is drill the three holes and some sloppy soldering on the inside. the other was scratch built. I"m a perfectionist and prefer stuff to look clean on the outside, but i can tell you the inside of that thing is a disaster. It does work though. Albiet over engineered. crap i'm a lousy speller..........weeee
