So I added a new port on the Turbo Express

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

Cool, can't wait to be able to take my composite vid out modded turbo express to my brothe's house and get some bomberman action!!

[thesteve]

cool
did you resolve the power save function?

[Drakon]

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

[Duo_R]

Schematic coming very simple to do actually. And will post a video of it in action.

I still need to composite vid mod but i also want svideo on this one.

[thesteve]

do the mod as S-Vid and mix for composite

[Duo_R]

Steve isnt the TE missing the entire video circuit
 Need to build from scratch right?

[Duo_R]

As far as saving games? Still working on it

cool
did you resolve the power save function?

[thesteve]

no.....the system will power off the screen if the controller isnt used

[Duo_R]

No i havent, does it still do that with new LCD installed?

[thesteve]

the way i wire it, yes
it can easily be disabled, but i like it

[Duo_R]

So after inactivity just the 5v line is disabled that goes to the stock screen?

[thesteve]

yes, and the inverter shuts off

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.
