Hello! I'm new to this forum so I thought I would post a formal introduction. My name is Jim and I got back into retro gaming/collecting about 3 years ago. It started when I decided to dust off a non-working NES that was sitting in my basement and repair/mod it. I was hooked back in ever since. Shortly after that, a few of my buddies who also started collecting asked me if I wanted to do a YouTube channel documenting our adventures and that has been a blast as well.
I grew up with a 2600, NES and Genesis. I honestly never even heard of the TurboGrafx let alone know anybody who had one until a few years ago. Once I read up on the history of the console and what it had to offer I decided to buy one. I finally got one with the original box about a year ago and fell in love. The only downside is it is extremely difficult to find games/accessories for it within a 300 mile radius of me. Luckily the internet has helped and I've found some good deals. My TG collection is a modest 25 games and 2 of those are CD games.
I'm really into modifying old game hardware by building custom consoles and I make NES reproduction stuff. Anyways here are some pictures of a few items I've done
This is the first console I ever modded. Pretty basic, stereo mod with mixing, lockout disabled new pin connector and the body and LED stuff.
This was a dirty yellowed SNES I found at a thrift store and felt it needed a new lease on life.
This is my personal NES. It's a hybrid dual cart slot setup. It plays NES and Famicom games and even works with the Famicom Disk System. Stereo mod, lockout disabled and extra Famicom sound channel was added. I also recently RGB modded it with the new boards out of Australia.
This is the Sega Nomad I recently modded (and have listed on the bay). New LED backlit screen and internal lithium ion rechargeable batteries. I actually found an R.C. car charger that was the perfect size for the batteries I used.
Last but not least is a busted TG16 I got fixed up and region modded. Bought a CD dock and power supply for a good deal and stole the CD ROM2. I plan to RGB mod and do the power LED mod. I also bought all the caps needed to recap all of the equipment so it will all be going under the knife soon.
