No one's mentioned the Turbo Express/GT and I love mine.

You can get one modded with a/v out and a controller port for console gaming. Everdrive compatible as long as you don't get the auto-switch region mod.

I only mention it since the wife might not notice another handheld but you miss out on the cds.

Oh wow i didn't know people did AV out mods and controller ports on the Express/GT. That would be great for hotel trips or whatever.

I've been wanting an Express because i have some downtime at work and I'm able to read or play gameboy, would love to Obey at work. :) When i get the money I'll look more into it.

Is yours region modded by chance? And what do ya mean by autoswitch? Ya just pop it in and play?

and you miss out on the ability to save games...without the use of passwords anyway. And the stock screen on the Turbo Express makes that a chore. Turbokon has a great reputation for quality screen upgrade mods.



Yea thought about that but the CD portion of the console is a huge plus for me.  I normally take the SP/DS with me or the PSP soft modded if I need any retro fix while I'm traveling

My TE is not region modded since all but 2 of my Hus are TG-16s and I planned on using an Everdrive.

For the handhelds so as not to have another big old (or small) region switch installed on the Express, the mod board was designed to detect what the region of the Hu and switch automatically. If I understand it correctly that is.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense to not have some switch hanging off the side of it. I'll definitely look into that more when the time comes.

I think Turbokon does the a/v out.

Some completionists will want to have the TurboGrafx/CD/Super card set up to have what they grew up with, but the best bet is always to just get a Duo. Whichever version you get, it's just the better deal.

One plug in, one sleek trim console sitting below your TV, it just makes the most sense.  :)


That's what I'm looking for. The Mrs is already giving me crap for all the systems I have and I don't have much Lol

[edit]
...blah blah...
TurboGrafx 16
[edit]
...more blah blah meaningless consoles...
Plus some handhelds

So if could add one console instead of two she probably wouldn't notice

My advice: sell all of those to buy multiple PCE's   :)

^ this guy! He knows what's up.

Trolling aside. Since you have a TG, no need to region mod a PCE unit, unless you do not like to have a rats nest behind the entertainment center :) Plus I think import obey are cheaper.

Duo is the best. Sleek, black and does it all! Save the 5 SuperGrafx games.

I love putting the TG-CD system card into the TurboExpress, because I can.

I would like to thank everyone one their input...  I've decided to go with the PCE DUO.  I have something in the works and should have that bad boy in 2-3 weeks. Thanks again. I'll post pics when everything comes in.

If that falls through, Dicer has a good deal for a PCE/IFU setup! Already modded.
