I don't suppose the Avenue pad 3 works on the US version?
What about the 6 button controller?

Excellent question.  I'm curious about this.  I need to unpack some boxes, but I may check this out.  I think i have a DUO --> TG-16 convertor... somewhere to plug AVE 3 into my TG-16...

You know, I had a couple Ave 6 pads for the last 8 years or so, but never tried them with FW.

Since I didn't like the feel of the loose D-Pads(hopefully ware) I sold them with my spare Turbo Duo to pay for my Duo-R like last month.

Otherwise I'd have tried them out as soon as I read this post.

I do have the 6 button Duo-R pad, but lent it along with the system to a friend to playYs IV in english.

Next time I see him I'll ask for the pad back and will give it a try in 6-button mode.

Forget the Avenue 3 pad.Do this,if you have any solder skills,find you a arcade stick for Snes/Genesis,that used micro switches.Use the circutboard in the Tg16/Duo gamepad,by placing solder on the connector tab areas,and on the correct matching microswitches on the arcade stick,then with some good wire go to soldering,wire it all up.You will then have a dual arcade stick for both systems,and best yet,you can wire up run and select tobe right beside the 1 and 2 buttons,to get a better layout for games like forgotten worlds.I have done this for years.

I put Magic Engine in my MAME cabinet and can play Turbo games with an X-Arcade stick. I say stick, because you can only map out one full pad to the 2P side because of the layout of ME & the X-Arcade sticks.

This is as far as I'll go for joysticks on a Duo, since I prefer pads in general.

I have made an arcade stick before using a Playstation controller PCB and used it for MAME which was nice. However I'll stick to a pad for Duo games and most 16-bit or less games. By the way, there appear to be many nice arcade sticks for PCE that I have yet to try out.

Right now Im using a Docs Snes fighting stick,with Pc engine function modded into it.Everything including turbofire works perfect.If you wants pics,email me at: amakusashiro666@yahoo.com.

wow, I honestly didn't know about all the different things folks can do for controllers.  I've seen stuff but never really paid attention... yet another area of video gaming that I need to explore further
