Well it's been over a year since I've had a tg16. Found one at my retro store for 185 total
I picked up
Tg16 console in box
2 controllers
AV booster
Alien crush
Power golf
Turbo tap
Turbo stick
Over the weekend I managed to finally get a everdrive for the tg16. Its a 2.4 version? Can anyone tell me exactly how or where I can get a cover for the everdrive? I went looking online quickly but couldn't find one.
It's a krizz model in which I'm happy about and the person says its fully loaded with pc engine and tg16. I am very happy about it.
Now I would love to collect for the tg16 but my wallet says no. I'm already collecting the master system and game gear because of the enormous bundles I received to start a great collection.
I cant wait to get this thing. Cant wait to play legendary axe 1 and 2 and ninja spirit.

You need CD hardware to play CD games on a turbobs/pce set-up.

TG-16s don't really have cap problems.  It's always possible that yours could need 'em at some point, but it's not a ticking time bomb like with the Duos.

I have an Everdrive (I think it's a 2.3); and except for the SD card sticking out too far and getting hit by the RX's power switch, I like it quite a bit.  They won't play CD games, though, as that's just not possible.

Congrats on the Turbografx!

Getting an Everdrive is the best Idea to play the Hue card library.

We generally suggest people get a DUO that has been recapped by Keith Courage on the forum here, as they are the best "Entry" way into playing CD games.
Switchzx's amazing quote -
"I was starting with the hardest to get games first. I realized I was never going to get Magical Chase so gave up on it all, sold up and got out."


Blueraven's quote - "it begins."

just selling systems I don't want that I've picked up very cheap or free and no longer have use  like my 5200 and 2600jr and Saturn.
Right now I own these systems
Master system getting everdrive for that
Tg16 getting everdrive
Xbox modded with coin ops 7 massive
Atari 7800
N64 with everdrive
Nes with everdrive
Snes with everdrive
Genesis with everdrive
So the last two systems are getting everdrives and I'm done with systems
After that a mini bararcade and my game room is done

I forgot to add as far as buying games again, forget that I can't afford it no more. Games cost more than my utility bills lol. Games today in general cost a lot of money. That's why I've switch to everdrives

I know that stoneagegamer.com sells them, and i think someone on here sells them as well. I run mine with no shell, and I see no need to buy one.

Fellow member jelloslug was selling 'em, but I don't know if he still has 'em in stock or not.  There's also some on shapeways (search for "ted shell").

This isn't a collector forum. There's no shame in playing games over collecting them. Now, playing on an LCD in 16:9, that will ruffle some feathers.
