Suggestions for a new(ish) collector

I hear this works for an AV mod but I've never tried it.  You may want to give it a shot?

I made a similar cable but didn't use a PC cable. Didn't like how it was bending the pins. This version looks to be more stable. Might give it a try. Thanks!

Ignore these ijits that think region modding your Duo is dumb.  They don't know shit. 

Flashcarts and CDRs are great for try-before-you-buy, but CDRs may or may not work well on your Duo.  When you find a game you like, don't be afraid to get the PCE version if it's cheaper (sometimes they aren't), but I'd pay a bit more if necessary for the handful of games where english text is needed/helpful.

I just read that the Everdrive may not work with a region modded system. Can anyone confirm or deny that?

[Necromancer]

I believe some have had problems and many have not.  There are no guarantees either way.

Searched the forum after my previous post and that's what it seems like. Guess I could always return it if I have issues.

Just bought the Everdrive so I'll be good on HuCard games for a while (once it arrives from Germany). I have $65 in my paypal account that I'd like to spend on one or more Turbografx CD game(s).  Only CD game I have at the moment is Sherlock Holmes. I've been thinking about picking up Gate of Thunder but the only one online that I can afford at the moment is incomplete. Any recommendations besides GoT?

Lords of Thunder, Dragon Slayer, Cosmic Fantasy 2, Exile, Ys Book 1 & 2, Ys 3, Valis 2, Valis 3... the list goes on. Lots of great CD titles out there

Incomplete how?  GoT came on a 3 in 1 disc in a white CD case with 3 manuals (no box or case art). If you're after a <$65 CD shooter game, you may want to explore the PCengine library.

Oh, was not aware of that. Thanks!

also - don't let collecting be your guide. Hunt down stuff you want to play and play it. Don't worry about the rest. Fun games are fun.

That's the plan for this system. Sometimes I spend more time hunting for NES games than I actually spend playing them and some of the games downright suck. Don't want that to be the case for the Turbo. Once my Everdrive comes in, I plan on playing them all and doing some kind of simple review. Will probably review them on DoxPhile since there's already a thread for each game.

I had a sneaky suspicion that you might be cool.

Did you pay him to say that?
