Making a Japanese Duo Play US Chip games???
« on: November 03, 2007, 08:05:04 PM »
I apologize if somebody asked this before, but I have a Japanese Duo and and I heard that its possible to play the American chip games on it if you modify it, something about altering one of the pins.

Is this easy to do?  Is it worth the risk?  And if it is easy, does anybody have a diagram or instructions on how to go about doing it?

Thanks alot, and remember Turbo Duo is "More Intense"

Check out D-Lite's how-to page.  You need to ground pin #29 on the Hu6280 and modify the card slot pins by way of Dean's fancy pcb or a bulky switch (or use a pricey converter).  I think that it's worth doing to keep the clutter down, but you could always just pick up a cheap TG-16 for your US chip needs.

Actually I already have  US TG-16 I have owned that thing since Toys R Us Cleared them out for 50 bucks a piece back in the 90's.  I was just wanting to be able to play everything on my duo without whipping out the turbo, but I guess its not worth the risk to my duo.
