Title: Turbo Controller question
Post by: jorel on August 25, 2004, 08:48:58 AM

So what's the deal for TG16 owners? Can we use PCE or DUO (either Japanese or US) controllers? The reason I ask is because I'd like to get some avenue 6 game pads but will they work or is there some kind of adapter I can buy? or am I stick having to buy a Japanese duo? and If I do have to buy a japanese duo, is there a change (other than controller) from the duo, duo r or duo RX that matters?

I think you'll need an adapter.  Check the faq.

tzd has the adapater TG16--->Duo adapter.  I'm not sure if they have the Duo--->TG16 adapter or where you can get one.  Did turbo even make such a thing?  I would think not since the Duo replaced the TG16 but it'd be nice to know.

I just hate the idea of having to buy a new system just so I can use a 6 button controller...ugh...

I know what you mean.  BTW, where can you/or did you pick up a PC Engine Avenue Pad 6?  I need em for Street fighter.
