teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Got some more Turbo-Grafx-16 boxes knocked off of my want list.











These 2 boxes are courtesy of Galam.  Thanks, man!


Now I'm down to only 22 more boxes needed!  (Not counting Magical Chase of course.)

If anyone has any extra boxes that I'm looking for, please PM me.

Do PCE controllers work natively with a us TG?  Or do you need some converter?
Is there a 6 button for TG?  Or just Duo?  I only have a TG with turbokons PCE switch, so I don't even know if I can play SFII.

Heres what i got recently. Thanks go out to Bardoly and Bernie

 

So is popful mail enhanced by using a arcade  card?

[SuperDeadite]

Popful Mail just preloads more data to cut down on load times.

As far as I know, the PCE uses 8-Pin Serial Mini-DIN ports that were common on most computers at the time. The plain ol' Turbo (not Duo) controller ports used the standard sized 8-Pin Serial DIN ports. (Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong.) So I'd imagine if you just found a mini to not mini adapter, you'd be all set. Don't buy something specifically labled PCE to TG16 adapter, as those are normally overpriced.

That is correct, you need a mini-din to din converter. I think one of the forum members was making these but I can't remember who it was. Most people tend to get a PC Engine/Duo/R/RX and have it region modded since it has a mini-din plug which is compatible with more controllers than the TG16's din plug (Turbo Pad, Turbo Stick, and maybe a third party controller or two).

I just found this quote from another member..."If you have a duo controller and a turbo controller you can simply open them up and swap their cords.  There's no soldering required, the cords are plugged into the controller pcbs so you just unplug one and plug it into the next.  I did this with a avenue 6 pad for the Pc Engine so I could play Street Fighter II on my Turbo CD."

Your very lucky to score a musha the u.s version has gotten so expensive....

[storino03]

Yeah, I managed to get the price sticker off without the ink peeling away.

I snagged a copy of Blazing Lazers to stuff in the PAL Turbob yesterday.

The Goodwill that I hit on the way home from work had a Super Mario / Duck Hunt combo cart for sale. Price? $9.99. Safe to say that Goodwill in the Milwaukee area is officially dead across the board. You never see anything anymore except for 300 copies of Guitar Hero.

[Arkhan]

This just in, Storino is a dick!



3$ for all that good loot.

How did you get them for 75 cents instead of the shown 99?

Did you use a coupon?


You used a coupon didn't you.

Got some more Turbo-Grafx-16 boxes knocked off of my want list.

Two BIG reasons why I always wanted a PCE/TG16
