You can usually find them on eBay, but you can get a complete PC Engine Coregrafx or Coregrafx II for like half the price.

The only reason you'd really need a converter over seperate hardware is if you really want to play Arcade Card games on your Turbo Duo.

But you can even get a Duo R for the same or a little more than a converter.

Yeah, what he said. Converters are an overpriced pain the neck. Just get another system.

You could also modify your Duo with a region switch. It'll cost about $50 which is still cheaper than a kisado converter.

Thanks guys for your help. I think i might try and track down a Duo-R and that might solve my problems and be a little cheaper than tracking down a converter.

Realy a converter is a waste of money these days.

I got my converter for $ 30 bucks about 2 years ago when a guy was selling like 10 at a time.  I've got the purple Barney but I wouldn't mind modding my system.

Oh by the way, my system 3.0 card has stopped working very well with my purple barney for some reason.  To get it to work I ahve to rest my SF II case at the end of the card before I turn my system on. I'm sure I'll break it sooner or later but oh well, back to Ys.

The way I remember it, both System 3.0 cards are universal and don't require a converter.

Um...is that even possible?

Nope. Just tried it.

 I'm not sure what converter I have, but I had the same problem. Some of the solder joints had come loose - so I just re-soldered them.

[theoakwoody]

The problem isn't with the converter. I popped in sf II and it worked the first time I tried it.  It must be something with the contacts on the 3.0 card.  Oh and I got screwed because my 3.0 card isn't universal.

Don't worry, none of them are.  That why you can find Japanese 3.0 cards for $15 and US ones often go for $100+.  If you already have a converter just use an Arcade Card.  They work fine for SCD's.
