[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Help Turbo Duo R Video Cable]

G  morning guys,
I bought a small, old crt because I don't have enough space. The tv is definitely in color, but seems to not be able to run in ntsc mode.
I contacted a modder for retro console, but he's not doing Turbo (yet).
So, until the rgb mod will be done, I can both buy a new tv (the shop has more recent, bigger ones, but I really don't want to use too much space), or I can buy this https://www.amazon.co.uk/NTSC-PAL-converter-Xbox-Gamecube/dp/B00I45DD7U/ref=sr_1_14?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1466177858&sr=1-14&keywords=ntsc+to+pal
Looked on some forums and seems to be good.
Thank you for your help guys, have a g day

All right guys, I just bought a CRT tv for 10 punds, the image looks very sweet and sharp but... in black and white...
With the HD tv all the colours were displayed.
Is it because the Pal standard?
What should I do? The Turbo is giving me an hard time ;p
If I get the rgb mod will I get rid of the problem?
@Savage pencil: thanks for the link, on the site they don't have the Duo's mod, I'll try to mail them.

Cheers

Thanks to everybody,
tomorrow I'll buy the CRT and let you know how it looks.
to @Major: you made me think with your reply ¨blahblah first world problem¨
You're totally right: how to get a nice image from a Turbo it's really a first-stupid meaningless, world problem.
We cannot never ever compare what it's trully important for us to what's important for less developed country.
I'm just born here, right now I'm doing a shitty job and studiyng and paying a lot of taxes for doing better in the future for me and my country, I do really want to do better for my country young people.
Still, retrogaming I know it's a very expensive hobby, but I'm doing my best to combine my stupid hobbies, the job that I don't like, and the better things for my and my country I want to do in the future.
It isn't a comply about what you said Major, I want just to explain better because you were totally right.

Best regards

Hi guys,
it's a pleasure for me to join this amazing forum, finally a place in where I feel at home ;)
I recently bought a Turbo Duo R and it's amazing. But the video quality on my HD tv it's really crap.
The Duo I have has only the composite cable (not modded rgb), I tried to buy a cheap upscaler but there isn't any difference with or without the upscaler.
What should I do to improve the quality? Because it is a real pain for the heart to play Lords of Thunder with such a crappy graphic.
I know that there's the Mini regbx Framemeister, but 300 quids are too much for me, and here in Uk I don't think there's anybody able to do the rgb mod.
Should I buy a better upscaler (I found this one https://www.marmitek.com/it/prodotto/co ... t-ah31.php)? Or just buy an used CRT tv (my charity shop little ones for like 20 quids)?
Thank you very much
