Thanks for an interesting read.

Thanks for the information. I was hoping to grab and Arcade card later this year. I'll have to keep an eye out for one that has been tested working.

@esteban: Are there any other HuCARDs that are known to go bad?  This is the first I've heard of this issue.

This is great! Thanks!  8)

@Bardoly: Thanks!

@Keith Courage: If I decide on another DUO you will be the first to know. I'm familiar with your work as you recapped and RGB modded my DUO.  Thanks!   8)

@gex: You are correct. One of the chips they use has been discontinued. Micomsoft the makers of the Framemeister bought up as much of the chip as they could before production was ended. There should be enough to make a year to a year and a half supply.

This video covers the issue:
To elaborate I'm trying to build out a couple places to play games in the basement.  This picture is a couple years old but it gives a general idea. The DUO is hooked up to the CRT and running cables to the HDTV would be a bit of a pain. Thanks to everyone for the ideas and help.  :D

@Pokun: I wouldn't take a lot of effort to move it, but I'm worried about my DUO breaking. It was in bad shape before I had it serviced. The caps had leaked and eaten away at a trace. I've found so many great games that I love to play on my DUO that it would be troublesome if my DUO died. I thought about buying the dock and SCD2 for the TG16 but I can buy a DUO for that much. The SGX is expensive but might be worth it.

@MNKyDeth: Thanks for your help. A SGFX + ACD + SCD2 sounds great but I'm guessing it would cost around $550 plus games. It seems that trying out the 5 SGFX only games will help me decide. I'll also have to review the Gamesack episode.  Will a SGX work with a dbGrafx Booster TTP?

Thanks! I'm looking forward to learning more about the PC Engine/TG16 here.

I plan to purchase a Framemeister this summer as I currently use one of those generic SCART to HDMI upscalers. The lag is terrible but it works for now. I sent my current DUO out for RGB modification and recapping last year so I could use that. It's currently hooked up to the CRT using a SCART to YUV converter.

I'm stuck trying to decide between new experience vs backup system. As you stated a SGX wouldn't give me access to a lot my games, but having a backup DUO in case my current one breaks or when the DUO is in use also seems like a good idea. It's sort of a dumb problem to have.  :?

I'm new to the forums and could use some help.

I own a PCE DUO and a TG16 but they are connected to my CRT and I would like to add something to my LCD TV setup.

I'm thinking another PCE/CD combo, maybe a DUO-R or a briefcase combo but the SuperGrafx also seems interesting. Any suggestions?
