Street Fighter 2, the six button pad and a Pal TG
« on: October 04, 2015, 11:41:09 PM »
Hi guys, need a little help please.

I'm in the uk, I've got a Turbografx and I want to play SF2 but as everyone is aware it's mega poo with the standard two button pad.

My question is; will an Avenue 6 or Hori whateveritscalled work?

I'm sure I read somewhere they don't. Is there a way of jerry rigging it so I can use one?

What do you TG owners do/use?

Sorry if it's a noob Q, but if you don't ask and all that.  :D


Any help will be greatly received.

Ta.

Like fruit said, it's a different sized port.  You'll either need a converter cable or swap cables from a spare TG-16 pad.

Yeah, a while back I wanted what the OP is looking for, but the seller shipped one out that did the opposite (as per your link).






OP, this is what you're looking for:

You will also need to region mod your TG-16 as well.  SFII was only released in Japan as a PC Engine title

A reverse Duo tap will also work.

PAL TurboGrafx systems run games at various speeds slower than intended. You're probably better off just buying a cheap PC Engine system.

Totally. No adapters needed. The PAL Turbografx is a dust collector.

In the UK you can easily pick up a different 60hz capable CRT for practically for free, or at most £5-£10.

Yea I got one at Asda about 15 years ago new 24 inch that does 60hz. Also s video & rgb. Its actually quite nice. They're everywhere on ebay . You could probably pick up a nice trinitron for next to nothing

I wouldn't trash your PAL system just so you can buy PC Engine to play Street Fighter. That is just insane. Don't listen to these fanboys, get the converter mentioned above and call it a day. Enjoy!

 Yeah, instead enjoy your games at a slower speed. /sarcasm

 How is playing the games at the intended speed fanboyism???
