Title: Replacement cable for multitap
Post by: Ratix on 10/14/2017, 01:37 PM
So I got this TurboTap and I had destroyed the cable a long time ago because I was young and naive. Since this was about 8 years ago I don't have my notes anymore.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement cable or a guide so I can build my own. It can be either for a duo or tg16.

You could get one of these regular pce pad cables and change the wire order to work with a tap. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEC-PC-Engine-Controller-Pad-replacement-cable-9-pin-control-Wire-Game-Joypad-/222505996651?hash=item33ce64116b:g:zc8AAOSwfRdZEoJi

A guide to make the cable work with a tap can be found here

I like doing this because it makes the tap cable longer.

Many thanks. And it's exactly what I wanted too. I have an extra cable ready to go. I had bought a few replacement cables from Amazon for the duo. I wouldn't recommend the cables as the quality sucked but it does the job.
