Title: Turbo Direct Zone
Post by: stoneduo on August 18, 2006, 05:27:29 PM: Hi, are they still open? ´cos I placed an order one week ago and they didn´t mail me the confirmation nor anything. And I couldn´t mail them because their server keeps rejecting my mails.
Thanks

Post by: stoneduo on August 19, 2006, 08:27:54 AM: I email them but their server rejects my mails. I did it from my regular mail and from yahoo. It´s the same. I don´t know if they ship international but five years ago they sent me my Turbo Duo and several things so I hope they do it now.
Thanks

Post by: stoneduo on August 19, 2006, 12:14:49 PM: I tried both of them for a week now but I had the same results.

Post by: takashirose on August 19, 2006, 02:19:08 PM: It worked for me. Of course sometimes, it takes a couple of day for a response. By the way, did you e-mail them on a Friday? They are closed on the weekends. Last week, they were closed, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and of course on the weekend. Maybe you e-mailed them at that time. They usually are open, Monday through Friday.

Post by: stoneduo on August 21, 2006, 08:44:21 AM: Hi, finally I had a mail from them. Sadly, they don´t have the Mirai converter so my last chance would be ebay or buy a Pc Engine or Super Grafx.
Thank you.

Post by: vestcoat on August 21, 2006, 12:04:16 PM: What? i know they sold their last five kisado converters recently but they still have that $99 Miria on their website. they're usually pretty quick about updating that thing.
If you get a converter on ebay, i'd avoid the purple "barney" converter if i were you. i've heard good things about most of the other varieties. if you keep your eyes open, something should turn up for less than $100 sooner or later. You could also get your deck modified to play both kinds of hucards for about the same price.

Buy one of D-lite's modded Pce Duo's they're only $170, plays both US and jap hucards and of course cds. It's one of the cheapest overall options and they work great! His site is: http://www.multimods.com (http://www.multimods.com/)

Post by: stoneduo on August 21, 2006, 02:43:14 PM: Ok, thanks for the advices!!...but I prefer buying a Super Grafx (and eventually the CDROM2) than a modded Duo. I can get it on ebay for $ 130-150.
