So I added a new port on the Turbo Express
« on: July 29, 2012, 06:15:09 AM »
Added a controller port to the Turbo Express. Used a TG sized connector as a test but it will end up with a Duo connector.

When plugged in onboard controls are disabled, haven't tested a turbo tap yet

Awesome mod!  Any schematic?  Also turbokon was it difficult adding composite video?

Sweet, it'll be pretty awesome playing 5 player Bomberman while on the bus! =)

Seriously though, so controller port and planned AV output to make it a portable and home TG16 system? That is pretty cool. Really portables like that should definitely be outfitted to allow for home console play. The PSP was disappointing that it first didn't have TV output, then it did but you still had to use the PSP as the controller and then finally you could use a PS3 controller with the PSP GO but you couldn't play UMDs. Silly.
