i used painters tape to mask up the silver connector, and used semi flat Krylon spray paint. If i were to do again, I would just use flat black paint.

Excellent Idea!  I will give that a shot.

Nope, it uses old Mac serial printer cables. Anyone claiming to be selling duo ext cables are really just repackaging the serial cables.

The Duo / PC Engine uses PS / 2 Keyboard cables??  :-s

Interesting choice ;)

.

Agreed.  If only they came in black.



Duh. Not sure how I got Ps / 2 cables out of that tlink o_O Ah well..

Should have noticed this at monoprice.com ^_^ :

I used a monoprice cable that was tan (the connector tip):



This is how the connector tip used to look:



Secret - used new cabling and painted the tip with black paint (for the connector tip). You could also try using heat-shrink tubing if you sliced one end off (and replaced to a Duo controller internally).

Duo_R -

Wait, is that black controller plug in the pic still the same plug as that white monoprice cable?

I don't remember that large retangular black thing near the end of the controller plug being in the original monoprice pic ;)

That rectangle block is to connect the headphone jack of the Turbo Duo to the control pad cord since the control pad has a headphone jack built into the pad itself.
