WTB: Duo Arcade Card!

[IrishNinja]

Hey all, just wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions for places to find a fair price on an arcade card for my Duo-R?  i was gonna wait till later but with prices going up all over, though i'd check here for resources...was thinking of trying arcade-gears but i'd want to put in a larger order after paying some bills first!  anyway, thanks for any suggestions offered.

The problem i find is anyone who has one does not want to give it up:-) there are a bunch of JP cards on feebay for what seems to be a decent price but youll need a converter or a modded duo.

Hope it helps!

Did I studder?

You obviously did...  He won't need a converter for an Arcade Card Duo....

ah, i should mention, my duo's region-free modded anyway!  ah well, guess ebay's the only option then.

It wouldn't need to be region free even if it weren't.  Arcade Cards were a Japan only release..    I have to get my TG-16 modded so I can use my Arcade Card Pro.  Try hitofjapan on eBay.  They usually have a few, and not at bad prices.

Ah yes Bernie I did stutter lol ass talked before my hands could type lol you are right they are a JP release but seeing as how his is region free it won't matter. The idea was he is going to get a JP card for use with US system (unmodded) then yes he would need a converter. Instead of modding (im sure mod is cheaper) get a converter and never have to open your system :-) S.O.S. Save Our System don't butcher them lol

This has been a Public Service Announcement for the preservation of our beloved TG16/Duo/PCE machines :-)

He has a Duo R.  Even if it wasn't modded, he wouldn't need a converter.

Ok so your saying the Duo R is a JP system and not a US release?

Forgive me but I have never owned a Duo and not up to snuff on my Duo stuff :-((

[Bernie]

Yep.  Duo R was a Japanese system.  All we got here was the Turbo Duo.  After the TG-16/CD anyway.

Very cool I did not know that. Assuming this included the RX also?

Thanks for the info :-)

The RX was Japan only as well.
Besides the TurboGrafx add-on CD and Turbo Duo, There was in fact one other US released CD capable system. The LaserActive PAC N-10.
