Neat clones, but I got two questions:

Is that a two player tap passthrough (big black box) on the controllers cable?

Is the booty huey's case a cassette tape case?

1) Yep, you can actually see it mentions "2PLAY" on the back of the box in Japanese.
2) Sort of. Its basically the same case that some fc carts come in. A bit thicker and bulkier than the cassette tape cases that you see in the US.

I have the Twin Commander pad. Often when people complain about the TG-16 not having two controller ports, this is what I say would have been a good pack-in solution.

That's some cool stuff there...

I have that PC Twin Commander (but only loose unfortunately)... strange that they made it with two different controller styles.




And i've never seen that AEBS Twin Controller.. that is nice to see. I have the 2-player Multitap that looks similar but never seen it with pads connected.

Thanks for sharing...

WAIT! How is  SLOW MOTION activated via the Turbo Switch for Button I?

 

I didn't even realize this feature was included when I first looked at the photos.

Somebody explain the process to me. Obviously, I can see "ON" below "OFF" ...but is it referring to a hidden switch on the side? Or the Turbo switch itself?

Much confusion.

Sorry didn't see your question here. Here's the back that has the slow motion switch. The 2-controller rig has a similar set up.

Not sure how obscure this is anymore, but for all the n00bs, here's my old video using the Micomsoft/Sharp Cyberstick Analog HOTAS controller with the PCE.

AHA!

Ok, that clears things up for me. Thank you taking the time to post that photo.

I wonder what the story is with that. The box is in Japanese yet it's a PAL unit. Given that Japan never used PAL in any capacity and the only place where anyone would make packaging on it with Japanese text is Japan itself, it's an odd pairing.

Did "Kindo" make an NTSC ver of the unit with the same box design maybe?

Isn't that the booster that came with the "UK version" of the PC Engine ?

That's most likely made for the Hong Kong market, where lots of PC-Engines / Famicoms were sold on export.

+1

Hong Kong was under British rule and used our PAL TV standard.
Because of our connection with the country most of the imported PC Engine and Mega Drive stuff came via Hong Kong back in the day.
