WTB: PCE Duo-R w/ Region Switch & RGB Mod for my Channel
« on: October 24, 2015, 01:31:19 AM »
Hi guys! I'm Dave, I am new here. I am looking to buy a region modded Duo-R or RX with an RGB mod as well. I've been wanting a Turbografx since 1989 and I finally grabbed one earlier this year. However, I have a youtube channel for retro gaming and I want to capture gameplay, which I can't do with my un-modded TG16. I want to keep the TG, but also want to be able to have one system to capture Turbo Chips, HuCards and CD games.

I am always checking out doujindance's ebay page, but I see on here that his mods might not be of the best quality. I'd like to work with someone reputable on here if possible.

Please let me know!  And if you happen to be in the upstate NY area I will be at the RetroGameCon next month at the AVGC booth for an in person transaction - just throwing that out there.

Thanks!

I got a doujindance RX system about 5 or so years ago. It works great. Not sure if his quality has dropped here recently.

His eBay feedback is also impeccable, so maybe I just found the most critical posts. Thanks for letting me know first hand!

There's nothing wrong with a Doujindance system, we just have modders here who are freakin awesome at this sort of thing.

The only real problem with doujindance is that he puts some awful glue on the board and it makes it really hard to work on if there was a problem.

He hand makes his cables and amps. I have one I bought from him in 2010 and works great after in insane amount of use. I don't know if the glue that technozombie is in all his stuff or just new mods but I dont have any in my system. The amp was wrapped in pink bubble wrap and taped in.

I really wanted to pick up one of his Duo-Rs with a S-video but I heard his s-video can be messed. Does that statement hold any water?

Yes, very much so.

I'd be mostly using RGB SCART to capture for my channel, so the S-video thing doesn't bother me too much. I don' think he mods systems with both anyway - at least not typically.

I really wanna buy one from someone on here, but the prices I've seen are about $50-100 more than one of his systems, even after shipping (granted, I've been on here for a couple days so). I'm thinking of just getting my US TG-16 modded for RGB and then grabbing a RGB-modded Duo-R for imports and CD games. Skipping the region mod altogether.

I will let you have my Duojindance system for $300 shipped if you want it.  It has not had very much use since I got it a couple years ago so still in great shape.  It was one he put a new lens in before he sold it.  I see now he has some systems that he does not replace it that are cheaper.  Console has a controller, controller extension cable, av cable, euro scart cable, and a PS2 slim power supply.

That is a great deal mickcris.

Actually both the Duo's on the site for sale are great deals imo. $325 in the other thread and $300 for this one. Amazing. :)

I just wanted to publicly say thanks for all of your responses but a BIG thanks goes out to mickris who not only have me an amazing deal on his Duo-R but, shipped it fast as hell, packed it really well and even threw in a couple extra PC Engine games so I could test the region switch!

Can't thank you enough my good man. This Duo-R has a new home where it will be played like crazy.

PS - Holy shit Rondo of Blood is incredible in this thing!

Gratefully,
Klytus!
