WTB - TG16 to PC engine controller adaptor
« on: February 19, 2014, 03:09:07 AM »
Hi,

I would like to get a TG16 to PC Engine controller converter to use my TG16 multitap and controllers on my PC Engine Duo.

I also need a PCE to TG16 converter (to use my PCE duo controller on my multitap).

Or any dead PCE and TG16 controller i can use the cable + connector from.

Thanks

I don't know if Terry is still making 'em, but it can't hurt to ask.  Alternatively, you could swap the cables between the pad and tap and get an extension cord for the converted PCE controller.

I thought about swapping them but i prefer to get converter and not open anything ;)

I'll ask Terry (I asked another member but he doesn't ship to Canada). Same with the ones on ebay. No shipping to Canada even if you ask and are willing to pay the price.

I'm in Canada and the one on ebay aren't available here (did an ebay search before asking here). Shipping to Canada seem to be a very bad thing from USA. I was in Norfolk Virginia for 6 months and never had any trouble shipping anything to family here in Quebec. So i don't understand the fuss about this.

A super easy thing to do is swap out the cables on a tap instead. (Create a reverse tap).  This would spare you controllers.  Just a thought.

I know. That's why i added "dead controller" in my search to use the cable. I have one PCE controller i want to use with my tap too. So i can play 3 players in Dungeon explorer.

Easiest thing would be to just take some $$$ and go on ebay and buy a PCE tap and 4 controllers but people are getting crazy over price so not an option.
