Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )

[toymachine78]

Well that makes him a total tool.  (No pun intended).

No, being a tool means he's useful for something.

Aye, like fixing toy machines!

Aye! That means you're a skate tool though. No pun intended. [emoji2]

I looked at the past five pages of that guy's feedback. All batteries and motors. Is he even selling games? If not, it's probably just a way to get people to look at his store. It's ridiculous advertising.

He's still an asshat who can eat shit.

Dang Roman that escalated quickly lol. But honestly, his prices are the definition of insane

That's the same guy that had a turbo for sale for $600

Not really gouging, but has to do with ebay:

"Does not come with an AC Adapter.  You can use an old NES Power Supply with it to get it working. This system works and powers on fine."

That is until you use the recommended NES power supply on it!

[seieienbu]

I've never tried and don't have a NES anywhere around, would it just fry the system if you plugged it in and turned it on?

Somewhat related and definitely a mostly useless factoid; I use a Genesis ac adapter on my Jaguar and it works fine.

don't try it.  yes it would probably fry something as it is AC and the TG16 uses DC.  Probably would blow the fuse or voltage regulator.

The NES for some stupid reason converts from AC to DC inside the console while just about every other one from its time does it in the power adapter.  The NES power supply has caused many consoles to be trashed probably.

You can use that same Genesis adapter on the NES though, but not the other way around.  That Genesis one also works on the TG16.

Interesting, thanks for the knowledge.

On a somewhat related note, about 6 months ago I was hooking up my JP Famicom AV and accidentally plugged in the very similar looking US NES adapter. I was cleaning some games to play, when I saw a little bit of white smoke coming from the system! I rushed over and unplugged it. The thing had a terrible pungent odor coming from inside.

I opened the system, aired it out, but couldn't see any blatant damage. It shockingly still worked fine after that. If I had left it in much longer or turned it on, something definitely would've blown.

I use an NES AC on my master system i believe, and never had a problem.
All my plugs are burried, so i'm not 100% but i dont believe i have the proper plug for my SMS2
The cdx i just bought on ebay came with a game gear plug, but i think im using a genesis plug on it with no issue.

There should be a thread about mixing and matching these things.

You may want to change out the cdx ps as the normal genesis 2 ps does not put out enough current.  It may work for a bit, but ive heard of people burning up the cd side by doing this.

You may have been using a genesis 1 plug with your master system as they are the same specs, but I doubt you used a nes one as it would have not worked.  someone just tried this here and somehow did not damage their system:

Yeah, you might be right. I have never been very cautious with the power supplies. Guess i should be?

So if i dont have a sega ps for master system, what are safe to use for both model 1 and 2?
