Title: TB16 Dock power supply?
Post by: bigbacon on February 12, 2014, 11:34:20 AM: is there an aftermarket supply for these or what other options are there? OEM ones are expensive as hell.

Post by: bigbacon on February 12, 2014, 12:36:51 PM: they don't sell anything for the TB16 in the power department.

Post by: MotherGunner on February 12, 2014, 12:42:02 PM: Yea they do, go to NEC Power Supplies and TG-CD/TG-16 is on the pulldown.

Edit: By the way it's "TG-16."

If you are looking for "TB," you won't find it. =)

When you say "Dock" this is the dock to which the CD and TG Deck go into. That power supply is offered. (TGCD)

If you want a power supply for just the TG-16 Deck, which also works with the TB (TurboBooster/TurboBooster Plus), that power supply is also offered. (TG16)

Post by: bigbacon on February 13, 2014, 03:23:33 AM: cool, thanks. I was using a genesis one on my old turbo that broke so I'll just get the tb+cd one.

not 100% sure yet if I'll keep the dock but does the dock also double as a booster plus so i can save games to it?
Title: Re: TB16 Dock power supply?
Post by: Necromancer on February 13, 2014, 03:39:22 AM: Yes, the dock will let you save games and give a/v out.

PS - Quit typing TB, ya tool. :P
