So it all started a little while back when I purchased a US TG-16 system on amazon for like 35 dollars with all the hookups and a TurboStick. Well, when I first got it, having never had one of these systems, I thought all was well because 1, it turned on, and 2, I got a picture. But the picture kept becoming more and more tempermental. Until finally the RF unit completely died out on my system. So here I am with two new games on the way, and a dead Turbo.
In chat one day, I am telling my story, and Duo_R says, "Hey Ara (I am paraphrasing), I could fix your system for you". I was like really? And then we discussed whether we wanted to fix the rf or do a complete composite mod, and I said screw the rf box, lets just go for the composite. Duo was totally game. And since my system was dead, I really wasnt worried about it.
So I shipped it off to Duo to begin the process. Let me tell you this off the bat, Duo_R is an awesome guy. Not only does he communicate with you via e-mail or im constantly with updates, but you get pictures of the process too. And I will also say this man works fast.
So ok, the first picture I see is the coolest orange plug (matches the system), and yes, you guessed it, thats my composite video. Now this I didnt get to see until I got the system, but it was explained. There is a small hole in the back, very sleak and cool looking, where an audio jack plugs into. I love this mod. Instead of having to have the three red white and yellow coming out of the system, you just have the audio jack. Perfect. And to even add to the awesomeness. Duo_R took things a step further and made me a custom a/v cord, so yes, you guessed it, I have a yellow and a audio jack on one end and a rwy on the other end.
Now your thinking, so he did a video mod, so what. Uh uh uh, not so fast. Im not done. In fact, Im just getting started. My system is region modded. Oh yes. On the side of the console is a tiny white button a little bigger than a pinhead. Push it in, japanese, push it again, it pops out and its american. Unobtrusive, tiny, and works flawless. I dont know the exact work that went into. All I know is that I love it.
So you now say, wow, ok, so he did those two things, but those things have been done. I AM NOT DONE. Remember where the channel switch use to be. He installed a clear plastic winder, and now there is a LED that shines through when the system is on. YES a LED.
So NOW you say, that rocks, but...anything else? OH yes, he went one step further. He designed from scratch a converter that allows me to play my avenue 6 pad on my American Turbo Grafx 16. And yes, it is tested and everything works as it should.
Duo_R has a lot going for him, and there are a lot of reasons why you should choose him to do your modding.
1. Customer Service: Duo_R always puts the other person first
2. Communication: Duo_R gives you updates of your modification at each stage of progression
3. Ability: Duo_R is on the cutting edge and is not afraid to go above and beyond to make you happy
4. If there is something he doesn't have, he will go out of his way to get it
I have been very happy with my experience, and would recommend him to anyone.
