In need of a Turbo Duo controller...
« on: July 14, 2017, 11:40:15 AM »
Hi, I've been a hardcore lurker for about a year and some change. Had to make my first post today because I'm at my wit's end and could use some help. I'm looking for a US Turbo Duo controller. I don't think I've ever had this much trouble locating a peripheral before. They don't seem to pop up too often on Ebay and finding one locally seems like a pipe dream. If anyone wants to help out a newbie and has any spares they're willing to part with for a reasonable price it would be much appreciated!

Why not use a TG with converter or cable swap?

Only the ugly US atrocity (TurboGrafx16) has a unique controller port I believe.

I already have multiple other PCE controllers and TG controllers with adapters, but I'd like to at least have one or two official US Duo controllers to go along with my US Duo. I lost mine a while back during a move and I'm having trouble finding replacements.

Q: how can you be a hardcore lurker when the forum requires a log-in to read threads? :-k

He betrayed his core principles as a lurker and deleted his account just before his head exploded

Self-deleted.  There's not ban any bans (temporary or permanent) in nearly a year.

Already gone?!? And I was going to share my source of infinite US Duo controllers, all for free.

Tsk tsk.
