Title: US Turbo Tap on JP PCE Duo?
Post by: akirashinigami on October 22, 2007, 05:14:22 PM: Will a US 5 player Turbo Tap work on a Japanese PC Engine Duo?

Post by: Necromancer on October 22, 2007, 05:37:17 PM: Uh, no it won't work. A US Duo Tap will work on any PC Engine system (mini DIN-8), but a US Turbo Tap is for the TG-16 only (DIN-8).

Just remember that the white duo tap works, the black turbo tap doesn't. The TG 16 has larger ports.

I'm glad i never mess getting a,TG16 again in the frist place.

It's easier sticking with a pce since ya can use it's controllers on a duo etc.

Post by: akirashinigami on October 22, 2007, 06:20:33 PM: Ok, thanks for all the help. I was hoping I could pick up a US Turbo Tap because it would match the color of my PC Engine Duo, but I guess I can't do that.

Post by: Necromancer on October 22, 2007, 06:46:39 PM: If you really want black, you could swap the cable on a TurboTap to have it work on a Duo, but then you'd need to swap cables on your controllers or buy TG-16 controllers.

I'm pretty sure they did, unless they've found another "secret" supply. :)
