Title: TG16 controller extension cables
Post by: wildfruit on 02/24/2014, 06:48 AM
Incase anyone is in need of a controller extension cable check these out
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nec-Turbo-Grafx-16-Controller-Extension-Cable-BOXED-NEW-/191068068313

I made an offer £8 under the asking price and it was auto accepted so maybe you could get it even cheaper.
Best of luck comrades!

Save that high priced auction for a collector, if you want to do cheap just buy a DIN extension cable.

8 pin din cable not very easy to find in uk. A local cable company quoted me £30 to make a one off which i wasn't about to go for
Plus im no good at soldering to do one myself, stubby fingers
Subtracting tax and what postage and packing is roughly worth the price i paid for cable is £9 which is not much more than the parts would cost at a local electrical store do for me was a better option

I bought these for my turboduo. They work great and you really cant beat the price (1.86)! Not sure if they have ones for the regular TG16

I don't think they carry TG16 compatible extensions, but http://www.bestpricecables.com/ (http://www.bestpricecables.com/) used to.  However, I can't find them there any more. :(

Yeah, I didn't think the TG16 used DIN, did it? It was some kind of proprietary cable, right?

No, it's full size DIN (the others are mini-DIN).

They both look like 8 pin DIN (full size), but 3 feet isn't longer than 5 meters.

Woah, I could have sworn it said "0.5" so nvm then.  Shit would it even work at that length?  (Signal loss, etc?)

I have some mini-DIN extension cables for my PCE (from Monoprice) that are pretty close to 3 feet (might even be longer) and they work fine. The only problem I got was when I connected the cable from my 5-player tap to the console and it made New Adventure Island do some weird things.
