Turbo Everdrive V2 does not work in my US Turbo

[Lost Monkey]

I  pm'd him for instructions on returning mine...

So I know this is off topic... Kind of, but I have a US DUO that is region modded, and from what I have read/been reading I cannot get an ED unless I un-mod the system or wait for a revision that can handle the mod, and its because of the power differences form having the mod Vs not, Correct? (Im not the most knowledgable but Im trying to understand)

Sorry to thread jack, just wanted to clarify.

It's mostly a crapshoot.  It may work for you it may not.  Unless the latest revision has fixed things that is.

we have been having issues with some modded systems and the VER2
it doesnt matter if we redo the mod, and the issue follows the system, not the mod if we swap things around
not sure why it effects some systems and not others

Weeellll

I was really wanting to get one, but dont feel like wasting 80 bucks on a crapshoot atm. Would rather just get a few good commons that I know will work.


Here is to hoping that they soon fix it so I can buy one *Fingers crossed*

I've been looking to get an Everdrive too, but I am worried since my PCE Duo is region modded. Can you tell if it will work by knowing who modded it? My Duo is from doujindance, who afaik is a well-known and respected modder. Anybody have experiences with region modded Duos from him and TEDs?

[mickcris]

my ED v2 doesnt work on my duojindance modded duo-r.  I got it a couple years ago though so I dont know if hes using the same mod now.  I have heard other people reporting the same thing about them not working on theirs modded by him too though.

Thanks for the reply. Hmh, that means that the best chance would be to try a TED v1. Still kind of a big risk for the price...

[mickcris]

the v1 should work fine.  i had no issues using a v1 on my duojindance duo-r

Generally if the region mod is done via a big ass switch and about 24 wires, it is 100% compatible with all Turbo ED.  If it uses switch to control electronic switch IC or uses button to toggle mode on power on, it's crap shoot.  You can improve the compatibility by making sure the IC are powered directly off the 5v pin of 7805 regulator chip (no idea what Turbo Express or GT uses) but it's still crap shoot.

I just purchased my V1 Everdrive about 2 weeks ago. Ill report back if it works on my Modded duo with the "Region mod with the big ass switch". 

I hope it works, and if not I may have a V1 for sale soon, haha

This thread had me worried because I saw it after I ordered my Turbo Everdrive V2 but it showed up today and worked great when I tested it on two unmodded US TG16 systems and a region modded Core Grafx. What a relief! I just noticed that mine is v2.1 and not v2.2 like the picture on the site, so I guess I got lucky or something.

2.1 will work as long as nothing is connected to the expansion port.  2.3 should work in all situations.

Both of the TG16 consoles were hooked up through the expansion port with a 3rd party adapter. This is actually the only way I have of hooking them up to the TV right now.
