Haitai Vistar 16 (Korean Turbografx 16)
« on: September 05, 2013, 08:29:35 PM »
As per the request of a few peeps, here are some pics of the Korean Vistar 16. If anyone knows Korean, can you please translate the words under the power switch? An interesting thing I noted is that the power switch has 2 settings you can switch it to unlike the regular US Turbo.(see picture # 3)
More pics including some internal shots can be found here:

I don't think it's a dual-setting switch, I think the word below the switch means "power" and the two words on either side are "off" and "on"

They added a composite video RCA jack, cool.  But it only outputs in MONO?  You fail again Korea.

Very cool!  Shame there is no expansion bus pinout though.

Is this the expansion bus but without a connector, meaning stereo a/v could be tapped or a CD added with relative ease?

Does the controller have a din or mini-din plug (would it be compatible with the TG-16 or Turbo Duo)?

fully compatible, since it is just a rebranded TG16 controller.

No, they're not. That's why they rarely pop up on eBay.

I love the QC of whomever's job it was to put those stickers on the HuCards.  They must've really hated their job enough to eventually riot!

Are those just tg16 cards with crappy stickers poorly stuck on the front and back? Neat, I love it. Did they achieve any success in Korea?
