Title: hi, i'm a noob
Post by: Corey K on January 17, 2013, 09:07:40 AM: He everyone, been collecting TG16 for the last year and finally got my hands on a TurboDuo a few weeks ago. Really looking forward to learning about all the great games i missed out on year ago.

Anyway, just saying hello!

Title: Re: hi, i'm a noob
Post by: Corey K on January 17, 2013, 09:17:31 AM: thanks! I don't think i need my capacitors changed, my audio seems fine for the time being (fingers crossed). Also, I'm in Canada so it's probably going to be trickier to get that job done here.

Post by: Bernie on January 17, 2013, 09:52:51 AM: Sup Corey!? Looks like you should be getting your package tomorrow man. It's a New York address though... You say you live in Canada? Oh, and if you got a Duo, I suggest you go ahead and have it serviced. Its not a matter of IF it fails, but WHEN.. Seriously... Glad to see ya post. Lemme know once you get your stuff! :)

Greetings from Canada!

Everybody is right about getting your caps changed. When the fail they leak damaging your system.

Oh and welcome to the 16 bit graphics revolution!

Lots of us Canadians have U.S addresses. It is common for us to rent U.S PO boxes as they come in super handy. Remember that 90% of the Canadian population lives within 3 hours the U.S border.
