Anyone here know where I can get a converter for PCE to play the US games?

Seems like ebay banned anything that defeats reigon coding. I'd like that for Dungeon Explorer, Netopia 1&2, and Miltary Madness. If they are impossible to get now, is getting a TG-16 my only option?

[lbblue]

I would certainly be interested in an affordable one of those as well.

Even if converters worked both ways, the good ones cost a fortune, but a decent TG-16 can be had for like $15.

Even if you hadn't already bought a Coregrafx(?), most people around here recommend buying a cheap TG-16 to play U.S. HuCards and a PCE Duo for everything else.

Indeed.

Call me crazy, but rather than spending money on the convertors, it's better to put that money into a PCE / TG-16 console.

I seem to shit spare TurboGrafx-16 consoles almost weekly.

Even if you were to find a converter, you would still have to do the pin 29 mod on the PCE, right?

You got it

Just get it region modded beside converters these days cost too much.

Ask D-lite or grahf to see about it.

grahf told me he was moving to Japan this month so he may be hard to reach for a while.

Exactly. Not to mention those converters are really hard to find; I've only seen one on eBay so far (and it's the one that's on eBay right now). I've already emailed D-Lite about having my TG-16 region modded.

Great i was about to askl grahf about modding my duo-r.

Damn every time, some body offers the service there busy or m.i.a for the time being.

He should be back in about a year.

Can't wait that long i've had the duo-r for a couple of years now  :oops:

<tron>, returned your PM.
Sorry to anyone who was planning on getting a system modded. I've been in Japan for a week now. I honestly didnt expect to even make it here, which is why I didnt mention it earlier. Everything happened so fast and last minute. I paid off my bills, quit my job and went back to school.

Honestly I wish I was still in a position to mod systems, since Ive become the typical "poor college student". The shipping costs make that impossible though. Its nowhere near worth it to ship a system back and forth to japan.

The expensive, but coolest, way of solving this problem would be to get one of the PCE Flash Cards by Neo that hold 64megabits. You can fire all your games onto that card and play them on your Jap machine. Not only that, if you have the right ROMS, you can play the US versions through the flash card too, effectively making your little white PC Engine a multi-region console without any modification. Trouble is, it costs $109. At least there are no postage and packaging costs on top. I think it's definitely worth it, and it saves a lot of space too.
