Hi Folks!

I was doing a forum search and I came across a thread which Keranu posted in saying that there was a site where it describes how to connect a NES controller to a PC Engine/Turbografx 16. I've tried PM'ing Keranu but no response yet.. this was a few days ago.

Does anyone else have this link? I've done several google searches and come up with zippity squat, zilch, nada.

There is a plentiful supply of NES controllers at a local store but actual PC Engine/Turbografx 16 controllers are like gold dust, so this guide would be extremely useful for me..

Many thanks for your time,
CJ.

kerano should reply, hes always on here. I wouldn't necessarilly want to use a nes pad on the turbo, but I can see where you are coming from (turbo pads are expensive). I too would be interested in this information. I'm always down for a new mod, haha.

I thought maybe I was too n00b on the forum for a reply  :mrgreen:

I think a NES pad would handle quite well, and of course it's 2 buttons like the PCE/TG16 controller..  :P

ya, I'm down to build one.

chaoticjelly should not be considered a n00b anywhere.  He makes awesome RGB SCART cables.

Keranuuu!!  Where are you?  Don't make me insult Insector X.

Crap, did my PM not reach you, chaoticjelly? Not that my PM was very informative to begin with since I don't know of that site, but I'm sorry if it didn't get to you. Anyways, could you post a link the thread where I mentioned that, chaoticjelly? I don't quite remember my post about that.

Man I only read like half of that review before closing the tab. It was so full of lies and crap that I don't even have time to explain them.

That guy said he died 50 times in the last stage of Insector X.  I don't think I've died 50 times in ANY shooter.  And yet he claims Insector X is easy?  What a weirdo.  He sucks at life.

Have you ever played Sinistron?

Yeah I know, what the hell!? If it took him 50 times to get past a part of the game, then I think it's safe to say that the game was pretty difficult for him!

This reviewer is a goofball.

I rented it once at the local TurboGrafx-16 Mega Store.  I'm sure I powered it off forever long before I died my 50th time.

Its hard to find that game, I think all of the owners of that game destroyed the hucard  :wink:

Sinistron kicks ass. Sinistron is a shooter for men whereas Air Zonk, for example, is a shooter for children.

But there are parts in Sinistron where I've definitely died 50 times or more (probably not all in one sitting though) before I was able to pass them.

Nope.. got lost in the vastness of the Interweb I think  :D

Ok it took me awhile, but I finally found the site :) ! http://www.geocities.com/duo_r@sbcglobal.net/

Or more specifically, this http://www.geocities.com/duo_r@sbcglobal.net/nes_to_duo_mod_fix.txt .

Hope that helps!

The guide could be written better, but excellent, thank you very much  :)

I'll let you know how I get on with it..

You're welcome, sorry for the delay! I hope everything goes well and if everything is successful, please let us all know and post pics if you can!

Old thread but I am the host of the instructions for the NES controller duo mod. I am thinking of doing an update on the guide if anyone is interested because I might build another one (the original one I built is one of my fav controllers for games that don't need turbo).

I am considering upgrading what I have there since it is stale. Maybe I need to work on the web skills and get a real homepage.

erm not bursting bubbles here, but I know a place by me that last time I checked, wanted like 8$ for turbopads....


I could check and if a buncha people need some.....???

what place has $8 turbopads? I could always use another.

Hey chaoticjelly - fancy seeing you here

there's also some info on here about NES pads on a PCE, http://pages.interlog.com/~daves/  aswell as info on different transistors to use for Amps etc.

Cheerio
