Title: TurboDuo questions/doubts
Post by: marioplus on 12/19/2016, 03:03 PM
Would a Japanese Super System Card 3.0 work in an American TurboDuo?

Where can I get the video cable of the TurboDuo? Can I make one myself?

I picked one up and it didn't include the system card nor the video cables. I really want to try the system, but without those things I can't.

Please help  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Duo doesn't need a system card to play CD games.

You can buy a Genesis 1 AV cable and use it, but no stereo output with that cable...

Dont waste money ona Genesis AV cable if you dont already have one. If you do haveone, you can get strteo sound out of the headphone jack.

Basically what everyone else said.

TurboDuo has a 3.0 system software built into it.
Replacement 3rd party AV cable, little self promotion. :)

Be careful with generic made AV cables for DUOs. Some people don't make them correctly by not tapping ground. This produces a poor quality/slightly blurry video signal.

That was always my problem trying to find a good cheap alternative. Got tired of searching for good 3rd party cables so I decided to just start putting them together myself.

A lot of the other ones I have tried I would have to open up and either re-solder or do exactly what Keith described but running a wire between pin 3 and the shield because they were not grounded properly.
