Damn my car falling apart!

I've ALWAYS wanted one of these.........

If I had $40 to throw, I would.

EDIT: Ok, tell you what. I just bought a fishing game for Wii, but if I return it today, i'll put the money towards this.

So, pretty much I claim it and will send the money tonight through PayPal as long as you take money that way, and I have your email address.

Hmm maybe I should post my other tg16 as well. Its much more beat up and wont have any games unless i dig one up from somewhere but it does work. I would take 15 or so for the beater budget model. I warn you it not pretty. Ill put up a new post today when I'm not work slacking off

Hmm would you consider meeting somewhere locally? Ive always wanted to try one of these puppies out but they seem to go for an arm and a leg on ebay. Im on the eastside so if you wanted to do that I could meet you wherever.

Keep in mind that the TurboGrafx is limited to RF-only unless you buy a TurboBooster or the CD-ROM attachment (which is a MUST BUY). So those of you without the US channels 3 and 4 are out of luck.

I still have the ghetto tg16. Complete with buggy rf connection, master sytem II power adaptor, nes rf, missing rear cover and a copy of Splatterhouse. But it works $15 the system and about $15 to ship in the U.S. I think it is more like $30 for international. Ill check when my damn computer wants to load something other then this page.

Yeah, please post a pic of it.
If the RF-connector on the console is buggy, what exactly do you mean by that? Do I only get a black/white picture? And maybe it has composite-connectors?

Please post a picture too...

The rf out on the system itself is a bit loose. You have to jiggel it abit to get a picture. It is not black and white or anything like that. It looks like it should but it is a bit loose. Unfortunitly the tg16 only has an rf out on it. To get composite you would have to get ahold of the cd system or the turbo booster. Im sure someone crafty could figure it out with huge expansion prot on the back.http://img165.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0738jz0.jpg

Sorry, doesnŽt work for me...
I noticed that I need RGB to have NTSC-machines in colour on PAL TVs, so this is not for me...

I think standard A/V-cables also work for that purpose, but it looks like ass.

Afaik only RGB. And the Turbo only has RF.

You can get yourself one of those PAL Turbos. They work with US HuCards. Probably the CD unit as well, though you'd likely still have to use the RF connection.

Yes, I can use RF if the signal is in PAL. Good to know the EU-Turbo accepts US-HuCards; if it was limited to PAL-releases it would be have a smaller software-library than the 32X has.
So IŽll keep l my eyes open either for an RGB-modded US-version or a PAL-Turbo. I can get a PAL-Turbo new, although they had such a limited run they are still sold new on eBay. But getting a better deal than 130,-€ would be the best, I have no problem with preowned stuff.

For both TG16 and PC Engine ( and the core grafx, core grafx 2, super grafx), the pins for RGB and sync are right there in the back plane connector. You don't even have to open the console to make an RGB cable/mod. The all-in-one "Duo" CD systems are the ones that require opening the unit for an RGB mod.

I personally would go with a Core Grafx 1/2, since japanese HuCards are usually (much) cheaper. They also look sexier than a TG16 ;)
