PC-ENGINE/TURBO DUO, TURBO EXPRESS SOUND FIX & MODS

[Michael Helgeson]

Anyone considering sending items to Turbokon should hold off due to recent information being made available.
Situations need to be cleared up,please wait for further details.

Update,its been made clear that either Turbokon and Count Smirf are one in the same,or Count Smirf is in his pocket. Either way there may be a possible scam going on,or that Turbokon is trying to self create hype for himself in the modding arena. Something is very fishy either way it goes.
One,the work looks like it was done by Dean,two,the Count was busted on here lying about a Samurai Ghost deal and just got exposed ( http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=5001.0 ),and three is one that will take some reading,special thanks to Busted for pm'ing this info to me straight from Digital Press forums and who informed me that a moderator there locked that thread for certain said issues:

Better prices than I've seen anywhere else. Damn good to have someone working on and modding the TG. I hope to send you mine very soon.

Do you have any examples of your work? And do you do S-vid mods?

Great prices. Even better if you can fix the few DUO's that the cap replacement does not solve the audio issues on.

This is a sell thread though, and not a 'how to' thread. There is a different forum for sale threads, and this forum isn't it. As a compromise though, I will leave a shadow copy of this thread here in Technical, and move the actual thread to Buying and Selling where it belongs.

Good Luck with your service.

Sorry, just finally been able to get back into the thread.

I have not tackle the S-vid mod yet.

I have just done mods for a couple of forum member here, Soviet and Count. I can take a pic of mine where I did some caps replacement and a region mod if you like.

O.k. I got my TG 16 back from turbokon the other day. He did the region mod for me as a trial for good reference, and all I can say is WOW! He got my TG on a Friday and had it shipped out Priority Mail on Monday! Can't beat that. The install is super clean looking too. You wouldn't know the thing had been opened, and the switch is mounted perfectly. The switch's button itself is of very good quality also, it doesn't feel "cheap".

I would recomend turbokon highly. I am very pleased with his work and service. A+++++

Nice, looks like the same quality of work that D-Lite does.

Yes, top quality for sure. And I hear that D-Lite is a couple months behind. So sending your business to turbokon can get your work done faster, and help take a load of D-Lites back.

Yeah Micheal, what your getting at is wronge.  This is just stupid.  Count Smrifnack and turbokon are two different people, there has to be some way to tell that from this board.  Maybe not, I dunno.  But anyway, this is stupid.  There is no reason turbokon should be catching shit over this.  He did me right and this isn't how I intended to help him out.

[nodtveidt]

Maybe you should have thought about that before you trying ripping people off here. Way to go, you've not only stained your own reputation but someone else's as well.

"In his pocket" is silly to say.  Turbokon offered parts and shipping only in his thread.  I took him up on that on the agreement that if I liked his work I would post pics and tell people.  That isn't a bad thing.  You guys were the ones who said he needed to get his work out there and prove himself.  That's what he was doing.

[COUNT SMRIFNACK]

I couldn't care less about my reputation here.  If no one wants to pay $50 for the game then fine.  If someone did then fine.  I wasn't forcing anyone to buy it. 

[nodtveidt]

Then do yourself and everyone else a favor and beat it outta here. We don't like shysters around here.

[Michael Helgeson]

Direct from Shoutbox:

[Mon 00:48] <bust3dstr8> Here is what I got from DP: Thanks for the heads up and looking out. There is no direct IP match between the two users. Smrifnack has both IP's from texas as his profile claims. The other dude has two different IP's from two different states, which is suspicious, but I can't really say anything else.

Most likely this is a con,and Smurf is using the legit IP when logged in and then using hideip or similar when using the Turbokon ID. Nat or someone else here mod wise can cross reference the ip info just stated with the log ins here too by both ids...

[COUNT SMRIFNACK]

Still not the same person huh.  Wow what a revalation!

[Michael Helgeson]

Still not the same person huh.  Wow what a revalation!

You most likely are using Hide Ip or similar software when you log in as Turbokon. There is clearly something wrong here when two diff states ips show up for Turbokon on Dig Press. You have clearly been busted,best to be on your way now.

[COUNT SMRIFNACK]

You really think I messaged myself between two accounts?  I don't know why turbokon has two states listed on DP, but I'm sure it doesn't mean anything.  Jesus Christ you really got your conspiracy theory together don't you.

[Michael Helgeson]

Covering your own tracks perhaps??? Isnt the first time we have had a member create 2 accounts and have conversations with them self. Everyone remembers Kits here..... Either way something is clearly wrong,and you need to go away,and one of the mods here needs to look into both your ip info. If Turbokon is a diff person something is still wrong if hes using diff ips every time he logs in to places,and because hes now associated with you. Seems your his only good word so far,that doesn't bode well,does it???

[bust3dstr8]

If you had just been an honest seller in the first place, you wouldn't be running your ass off doing damage contol.
Ya....your f*cking kicking yourself now, huh?

[COUNT SMRIFNACK]

True, but this shit has gotten way outta hand.  My selling a game had nothing to do with turbokon's services. 

[Michael Helgeson]

Thought you said you were leaving ?

[nodtveidt]

That's what I'm waiting for too...
