[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Photos from MWC this weekend]

How much was the magical chase repro? And who sells it?

I must confess, we made these.

Where can we buy?

These will be available soon, maybe in mid may or so.

Awesome! Will they be available at PCEFX or another website? I don't have the ability to watch youtube videos at the moment

They will be available here and on my website mid may or so.

Looks like y'all had a lot of fun. 

I must confess, we made these.

Your RGB pic kinda gave that away already. 

I knew somebody was bound to notice them.  I always forget about them whenever I want to show pictures of other mods.

Thanks for the pictures flare.  I couldn't make it this year

That repro looks better than the original.  I would say a million dollar

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: No Mod RGB Options for Turbo Grafx 16]

These are all awesome options!  Thank you so much!  As far as internal mods go, I'm pretty new to the practice..  My experience only goes as far as fixing cold solder points on a master system controller port, and the rgb amp mod for the N64..  Do you feel that this enough experience to perform the internal mod?

Turbokon, that project looks solid!  I'd love to use your photo type in the video game class I'm teaching.  It would be much easier to hook up the tg16 to the lcd's via composite.  How much are you charging for your protos?

Thanks I haven't thought about selling my protos.   This is somethings we might look into later as possibly providing these as kits in the future but I don't know.  We're currently focusing on another project at the moment.  You might check with braap.  We worked on this together.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: No Mod RGB Options for Turbo Grafx 16]

We actually did a Kickstarter last year for a device that plugs to the expansion bus allowing for component output.  Why Component you ask?  Because most hdtv don't natively take rgb and ours wouldn't need a separate RGB to component transcoder.  Anyway long story short, Kickstarter didn't gain enough support and we had put this project on an indefinite hold.  I have a few protos laying around and great for testing and working on systems with my hdtv set.



Thinking back we should have included RGB output as well.

Confimed, 0.1uf caps will make it start up instantly.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PSOne LCD mod for the turbografx/pce system]

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Turbografx-16/PC-Engine RGB Amp Now Available for Sale]

We had some reports from the field of slow start up time when using this rgb amps.  This is due to charging time for the input 10uf caps.  Changing them to 1uf or even 0.1uf will provide a lot faster start up time.  Here is a little video of the psone lcd mod.  This mod uses the rgb amp mod chip.  When I switched out the 10uf capacitors to 1uf, the start up time was significantly faster. I will start shipping these out with the change in caps from now on.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PSOne LCD mod for the turbografx/pce system]

What is the game?

Aldynes
Well that's what the label on the Hu Card says.

Yep that's the game.  Great game btw, the only reason to own the supergrafx imo.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / PSOne LCD mod for the turbografx/pce system]

Hehe, looks better with a coregrafx and regular pce tho

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PSOne LCD mod for the turbografx/pce system]

Do you need binoculars to see the screen from way the hell over across a SuperGrafx?

Hehe, actually it's pretty good size at 5".  Even bigger the LT just doesn't look that way on the picture.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / PSOne LCD mod for the turbografx/pce system]

Nice! May I ask where you got those those black Pin connectors from? I've never been able to find them.

The connector was from one of our retroclarity prototypes that I got from my partner on the project.  I believe you can use the ones from the tenoke bank.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Turbo Everdrive v2.4]

I can confirm, works no problem.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Turbo Everdrive v2.4]

What system are you using this on? I got this too and I can't use it as a super system card on my tgcd setup.

Did you use the patched 3.0 rom that Elmer created here?

No I didn't. I'll look for it.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: US Turbo Duo (Recapped) - SOLD!]

Fast ship and turbo duo as exactly as described.  Thanks dan

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Grafx 16 / PC Engine / Express / GT Region Mod Chips for sale!]

Even with the older region, I never had issues with the TE V1.1.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: "homemade" HuCARD for translations / homebrews/ repros]

Finally got a few hucards successfully programmed last night

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: "homemade" HuCARD for translations / homebrews/ repros]

I ordered some of these.  Fast shipping and they look awesome.

I'm using a GQ-4X4 (not the GQ-4X) programmer.   I can't get it to recognized the eeprom using the huprog adapter.  I have loaded all the lines to the customdevice.txt as stated earlier in post.  Has anybody else came also this?

Btw this is my first time flashing an eeprom so it could be a user error.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: New Easy Install Obey Region Chip for all turbografx-16/PC-Engine systems]

Here is a video of the original pc-engine region modded with the new obey board running the turbo everdrive with no issue.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Good spot to mount Obey chip on Turbografx 16]

Which version obey chip are you using?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Grafx 16 / PC Engine / Express / GT Region Mod Chips for sale!]

So if i understand correctly, the switchless chip does not work on consoles ATM?
I have a US TG16, so i would need to install a switch as well, correct?

That is correct.  It require you ran a wire directly to the select button.  You can't do that on the home consoles.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Grafx 16 / PC Engine / Express / GT Region Mod Chips for sale!]

How much are they?

Main chip is $18 plus $3 shipping, add $6 for switchless option.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: TurboExpress console.]

Me and Mcwill chatted a few times.  He said he's going to keep it at stock size.  His lcd's are good but cost is going to keep a few people away.  I have modded many gamegear and lynx using his lcd's

As much as I love Mcwill screens I don't think I am going to ever go back to stock TE.  I just love how big the 3.5" screen looks but I could be proven wrong.

Turbokon are you ever going to offer the internal battery mod as a service?  I know you been busy working on the new obey chip.

I'm afraid not for now. I've been too busy with other projects at the moment.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / New Easy Install Obey Region Chip for all turbografx-16/PC-Engine systems]

This is already posted in the sale thread so I apologize for the double post.  I just wanted to make sure people are aware of the new version in case they aren't checking on the sale post.

Thesteve and I made the obey region chip easier to install.  This new chip does not require that you run wires to each hucard slot pin.  It fits directly on the pins for easy slim installation.  Installation time is around 15 to 20 minutes (compared to previous models which could easily take an hour or more).

It wires to the SPDT as normal for home consoles with base of switch to switch soldering pad on new chip, 5v on one end of switch and ground on the other end.The switchless function for the handheld units is now on the same board but requires a couple of additional components.

The key to this install is to cut the 9 pins on hucard slot side really short.





In Duo-R:

In an express with switchless function:

The key to the install of the version 3 obey region chip to the cuts the top pins really short.



This is the full install for the express/gt with the switchless function.  You only ran 3 wires.

That mod is so tiny!

We had to keep it tiny so that it fits all variation of the pce/tg16 systems.

Always pick your battles wisely.  In this case toymachine made a bad judgement.

Thanks blueraven,  glad to see you finally installed the obey chip.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS - Turbo Express - $180 OBO]

Damn, I missed out.  That's what I get for not getting on here more.

[Off-Topic / Re: Gamegear LCD replacement Group buy]

Just curious if anyone ever grabbed the 5th kit from this group buy.

Sorry this group buy is long gone.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbografx-16/PC-Engine RGB Amp Now Available for Sale]

Looks like you took the RF modulator out.

yep that's correct

I just did an rgb mod to a tgcd rock ask well.  Now I have the best of both world, rgb and component.
