Regardless of the US or JP region of console, answer: http://db-electronics.ca/product/pc-henshin/


Converters can stretch the card port's pins and that one has compatibility issues with HuCards like SFII' and Arcade Cards.

The thread's title says "Turbo Duo R".

I guess the OP guy is talking about a PC Engine Duo R.

I was not aware. From the Retro Roundtable podcast, Rene says he often make slight revisions over time. Maybe he'll address that.

Of course I just went 100% PCE. No converters need apply. TED is also a perfect answer.

I think we should just close this forum since "get a flash card/CD-R" makes up the most popular post at this point.

It's important to start a new movement. I recommend some replacements:

1) "The PC Engine is THE console for Digital Comics!"

2) "Which Valis game gives you least amount of agonizing ball pain?"

3) "Sissies play Mario, but real G's play Rainbow Islands"

I'm partial to #2, since it can be taken in several different directions!

A: Valis X is actually quite pleasing to the testicles.

Playing games is for nerds. Real men collect cellophane and cardboard.

Since nobody has adequately answered the question  :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Converters allow US Turbo games to match the pin configuration of the PC-Engine / Duo-R slot

HOWEVER

US Turbo games still will NOT run on a regular PCE / JP Duo(R), as the games themselves have US console detection & lockout.

You will have to mod the console, by lifting pin 29 of the 6280 CPU, as shown here: http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/multi-region-pc-engine-turbo-grafx-16/
... in addition to using a converter.


The alternative is to use a flash cart (pin switching on the cart itself!) and use region-hacked US games.
