Hi there.
I'm a diehard NEC fan. I bought my TG16 brand new at Child World on August 31, 1989. I loved it. We only had one console at a time. My parents weren't one to buy a Genesis, a SNES and a TG16 so it was up to me to pick. I picked the TG16 because my friends had Nintendos and Genesiseseseses... so I wanted something different.
We had all the great games. We even had a local place that rented imports with that purple adapter. It really was great.
My parents eventually bought my a TurboExpress in 1990 and then later a TurboDuo for Christmas in 1992.
Well, about 15 years ago, I lent my TurboDuo to a friend and never saw it again. We're still looking for it
Recently, I found my TG16, but no connector cables or AC adapter. I also found my TurboExpress




Looking to rebuild my Library

What the f*ck.

No China Warrior?

cmon guy.  Go get it.

[chapel]

HA! Yeah, no China Warrior. funny, someone else mentioned that too.
I had it as a rental, beat it, returned it.
Did that a lot
I'll tell you the one game I wish I had: Cosmic Fantasy 2
that's the only reason I want to find my TurboDuo...

Welcome aboard!  That's a pretty good collection to bring out of retirement. 

If you're looking for a replacement AC adapter, head here if nobody here has an extra; and skip finding an RF cable, instead tapping a/v off the expansion bus.

CF2 is stupid easy to find.

Theres like 90000 copies sealed, floating around.

for cheap!

I'm actually trying to find a Turbo Booster. I'm crap at soldering. I saw people with hacked in RCAs.
As for CF2... yeah, I've found it a billion times for $20 or so... but without my TurboDuo, I can't do much with it except stare at it longingly remembering my first real JRPG

You can play it in an emulator on your computer in the meantime, duder.

[chapel]

oh yeah...
I guess we'll see how it stresses an 8 core Xenon with a GTX570 in it

it's just not the same though... plus I have no idea where to get ROMs...

[Arkhan]

you can use the real CD in your PC!

Ootake for windows can read from your CD drive and boot the game up

Just get yourself a region-modded from Keith Courage here on the forums.  Then you'll be able to play pretty much every Turbo game, including the massive PC Engine library.  (Get an Arcade Card with it, then you'll be able to play them all.)

[chapel]

How exactly do you tap into the expansion port to do the RCAs? I saw a video where a guy just wired it. Didn't realize there was two ways to do this. the one I saw had the RCAs on the side, but now I see someone with RCAs in the cover piece similar to a TurboBooster. Doesn't look like he soldered anything either

how much will that run me?

[ProfessorProfessorson]

In the system mod/repair section there is guides for adding RCA and also S-video support to the TG-16, and there are members here who can region mod the deck for you and also offer above video mods.

[chapel]

I need to start digging into this site...
So, this Keith Courage fella sells this stuff?
Last time I really looked at the market TurboZoneDirect still existed...

[chapel]

Ha. I remembered ART88. Listening to music mode now waiting for my train
