Well you're getting AV out via the docking station, so yeah.

I will but my TV is a pal 50hrz so that isn't a problem and I'm used to 50hrz games (the Core II was far to fast for me I almost got sick after playing 4 hours, wow it never overheats? )
Most PAL TVs since the early 90s support 60 Hz refresh rate as well. There's no need to stick with 50 Hz. It is not only the gameplay speed that is way slower, but in case of the Turbob also the music is affected, since none of the games were reprogrammed for 50 Hz - there weren't any true PAL/50Hz games for the TurboGrafx.

If the games are too fast in original speed, then maybe your reactions are too slow?
Just kidding, please excuse me. A lot of shooters are too hard for me to beat since I don't have the patience and time for exhaustive training.

So obviously then you already have a docking station and cd unit.

How are you planning to power everything up?
Myself I wasn't taking any chances by feeding it with a US 120V power supply.

So I got me one of these to power the PAL Turbo and CD unit.

Composite AV out for CoreGrafx models, but make sure it includes the AV cable (DIN -> RCA)

There's no PAL TG in the list :(, yes the PAL TG includes the AV cable! So will it be ok? Or will I have to buy an RF to AV converter?

I was commenting more on the PAL Turbo combined with the CD unit.

Yes, there is AV built-in.

A little bit of info/trivia if you like,

The PC Engine AV cable does not fit the PAL Turbo AV port.
PAL AV cable is on the left of the pic.

It's still strictly a collectors item and not worth playing games on. You'd be better off with emulation.

Heh, I had a couple other forum members over last weekend and they specifically wanted to play games on it to see how the slowdown effected the system and if it made some really difficult shooters easier.

But yeah, for the most part it's a collectors item. Most of my Turbo hardware is loose, so I like having the original box and packaging with the PAL unit even though the system is admittedly not particularly useful.

I noticed some PAL TG16s for sale here http://www.robwebb1.plus.com/pce/pce.htm I've never used this store so I can't vouch if they're any good or not.



Is he still selling stuff? Some decent prices there.

The website homepage has had updates in June 2015 so I assume he's still about.
There's a contact email address on the site, maybe email first before placing an order

A PAL Turbob is only worth $130 to a collectard.  Anyone looking for something to play games on is better off with a plain 'ol CoreGrafx (I or II) or better yet a Duo.

Yeah but the shipping kills me so I got this because shipping won't destroy my budget, duo are like 500$ :/ , plus I can use the flash cards instead of buying games! Also I have a 00's 50/60 hrz TV that changes between what the game is running on :), altho it's mainly because it exotic (and will piss my friend when I say that I have TG16 that's PAL :D)
