TG-16 to USB
« on: May 30, 2014, 09:53:47 AM »
I know there have been some topics on TG-16 to USB before...  But I found a guy that actually makes a connector, that uses your tg-16/pc engine controller, without having to cut and solder.  Ya just plug n play.  This is the site, http://www.bliss-box.net/Bliss-Box/products.html  I got in touch with the guy, and he is making one for me.  We always see stuff like this for Nintendo and SNES...but hardly ever for the Turbo.  Kinda excited, and his price wasn't bad either.  I will update on how it looks/works once I have it in hand.

And it is here!  Gotta tell ya, I am impressed with how it looks.  Very well made, and even the color black.  I have already hooked it up to my PC and tested it in emulation, and it works perfectly!  The guy building these charges 35 bucks shipped, and I honestly feel its worth it.  Here are a few pics of the BlissBox.

Oh boy, that thing is uber-expensive and ugly.

I would rather like to see an affordable and ready-to-use TG-16/PCE to USB adaptor based on Raphnael's circuit. And it should  have multitap capabilities, because having to buy multiple adaptors for multiplayer sucks, doesn't it?

Still, an interesting find, thanks to Bernie. Please let us know how your custom adaptor works.

What you are looking at, and what I am having built are two totally different things.  This will be just TG16 to USB.

Have you tried it with a turbo tap?

I dont have one, but I think it would work just fine.

I honestly don't think a turbotap will work on this, or at least not as expected. I have my doubts, though they are hard to put to words.
