The ultimate DUO
« on: February 08, 2008, 08:23:39 PM »
You may know that many french are crazy about the PC Engine, here is an illustration of this statement :

The ultimate RGB modded DUO, that can read both PC Engine and Turbografx Hucards.
This was an idea of a member of our french forums, Boby Jack, and was designed by Kotomi, a guy who tunes video gme systems.

Enjoy :P

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Cool!

The Famicom built into a NES cart is pretty cool also.

Wow! I was just thinking last night what the US Duo would look like dressed up in white. This, however, takes that thought to a whole new level. I love it! He even went to the extent of dressing up the controllers. It looks fantastic.  :clap:

Edit: Duh, I just noticed the coolest feature of this Duo - the dual HuCARD slot. lol. I immediately watched the video and didn't notice the two separate slots. That is absolutely phenomenal.

Now, that looks pretty nifty! That's such a beautiful color of white for it, also :P.

Below, there was also a "Fami-cart", a switcher cable for the Mega Drive, a "Nintendo Nestation", and an "SNES Pete Rock" to be noted of.

Kotomi had done a great job with all the moderations he's/she's done.

This actually is the main feature of this DUO as that was what Boby Jack -the owner of the DUO who got this idea-wanted. ;)

Yeah. I was just so enamoured with the paint job that I over looked it. hehe But You gave me a chance to practice my French. Reading stuff in French about Turbo/PCE stuff makes it a hell of a lot more interesting. lol

Thanks again for the link. That has to be the coolest Duo in the world.  :mrgreen:

I'm not fond of the paint splatters on the "ultimate Duo", but otherwise it is quite nice, being able to play US and JP cards as well as being modded for RGB.  But is it perfect RGB or is it the ol' standard "vertical lines" RGB?  Also can it play SuperGarfx cards?  It needs to.  That question is probably already answered, so I'll go read up more on this.

EDIT:  I can't read that since I don't speak French.

Whoa, didn't notice the dual HuCard slot until shubibinman mentioned it! That's pretty rad (shoulda went for triple!), maybe that's why they removed the HuCard door, aside from aesthetics maybe. Or maybe they just plain didn't have one.
