Title: ISO a DUO
Post by: cardboardzero on April 25, 2015, 02:42:26 AM

Small intro.  Hi everyone.  I'm new here, know very little about all things PC engine, but was directed here by blueraven.  Met him at the midwest gaming classic a couple weeks ago.  We talked and i had told him my interest in a duo.  He talked about having one for sale possibly soon with a region mod and giving the system a tune-up etc. Well, I messaged him a couple days ago and have not gotten a response.  Obviously, people can be busy and such which is why I have come here.

Does anyone know him and could direct him to this post or have a duo for sale possibly?  Raven had told me that this community is tight knit and are leary about people just flipping systems on ebay.  Well, I can assure you I have no intention of doing that.  Raven showed me great shooters while at the convention and I really want to play more.  Thanks for any help in advance!

I do not have a system for sale, but in the mean time while you are looking for one you can always check out Mednafen. It is a multisystem emulator and supports the Turbografx line of games.

Obviously I cannot point where roms are but I am sure you can find them.

blueraven has been here for a while and I have not heard any bad stuff about him (others can chime in) concerning selling/buying items here at pcefx.

Other folks, however, are selling hardware.

And, still other folks offer mods.

So even if he never returns, you will be in good hands.

Welcome, comrade. :)

Welcome aboard!

I think le bleu is out of town until tomorrow, which is why you probably haven't heard back from him yet.

thanks guys!  Appreciate the warm welcome!  Basically I have fond memories as a small tot playing turbo16.  Years later i meet up with a retro store owner who tells me about turbo cd and the amazing shooters and other games.  So, I have a LOT of catching up to do lol.

I'm back, just took a day to recover from the flight, you know? Man, my wings are tired. :mrgreen:

Cheers and welcome aboard, cardboard! Was a good half-hour chat about turbo we had outside, and you were rockin' at Gate Of Thunder! You seemed damn sincere and put a few hours in the Turbo Room at MGC. I have all the faith that you will keep our system and enjoy countless hours of oBey!

PM coming this evening after work.
