RAU-30 on other PCE / TG systems

[Duo_R]

ok,


I have seen some photos of RAU-30 hooked up to different systems but first wanted to make sure it does in face work with PCE systems. Don't ask why, I know it's pointless but just wondering if it works.

2nd - if the TG-16 could fit (and I know there is a expansion point fittament issue) would it work? Granted you could get the pins to fit?

I ask #2 because








It fits perfect with some modding to the TG-16. I didnt want to mess with the Rau-30 so i modded the TG-16. You can see even the power port fits perfectly!

"But Duo_r, why would you do that to a TG-16? Thats blasphemy!"

Well i bought a junked TG-16 for DIRT cheap and the case was already damaged.

really? tapatalk tells me there are no forums about turbografx, pc engine or pc fx. How did you add it?

Nice!  I was thinking about modding my Turbografx just like that before but never had the guts to hack it up.  Cool to see it done and working.  I might have to give it a try now. 

Did you remove the metal piece around the TG expansion pins and cut the plastic underneath to fit the RAU-30? 

I was also thinking about modding and/or removing the shell of the RAU-30 to fit into the TG-CD interface but I think that's going too far.   

[Duo_R]

Yeah i can post pics of the mod. You need to remove the metal plate on the TG-16 and remove a little bit of plastic. Nice thing is you can reinstall the metal plate and it looks stock again.

I also made 2 slots on the back of the TG-16 so the housing fits.

IT CAN BE DONE

[csgx1]

Thanks for the info! Seems easy enough, I'm gonna do it. 

[Duo_R]

I'll post up photos of the slots and port

Thanks for the additional photos. How many times was this poor TG-16 run over by a Miata before you screamed "Stop!!!" and placed your sobbing head on the steering wheel?
