I got a duo extender cable in the mail from TZD today (along with Splash Lake).
So here i am, leaning against the opposite wall of my bedroom playing Cyber-Core; with a black duo pad plugged into a white duo tap, plugged into a black M128, plugged into a grey Mac cable...*ahem* DUO EXTENSION CABLE, plugged into a black Turbo Duo and it's pretty f*ckin sweet.
Most beautiful thing i've ever seen, really.

Nice, did you see my little "discovery" about using a classics converter with a Logitech Ps2 Controller for some wireless fun?

Yeah the extender chords are so awesome. I have my Duo tap hooked up to it and if you add the length of all the extension chord, tap, and standard controller, it's like ten feet in length and feels great to lay on a couch and play Turbo games!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

One thing both Turbo systems released in the US are guilty of is unusually short controller cords The Duo controller port also never quite snaps in so it always wiggles a bit, it's an extreme annoyance of mine.

The main flaw with Turbo and PCE systems are controller issues :( . Short cords, fragile pins (though I don't think they are nearly as fragile as everyone says because I've bent the ones in my Avenue Pad 6 controller many times to make it work right and they never fall out or severely bend), and the TG16 having to have a non-compatable controller port compared to the Turbo Duo and PCE systems. However the controller designs are awesome and easily one of my favorite pads.
