[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Wanted: Turbografx CD power supply]

well, I picked up the -1779 ps unit that was shipped store to store... And everything works.... So happy.  I bought my Turbografx/turbo CD with a carrying case, multi-tap and one controller for $50 NWCGE 2k6... Guy who sold it said he couldn't find a power supply and didn't know if it worked.... So I'm very happy right now...

..All I need to do now is figure out what card I need to get to play all CD games... As I only have the Version 2.0 CD system Card... and I have a game here which it won't work with... says I need a Super-CD ROM^2 System.

oh boy.... I don't like to be the messanger bearing bad news... but your model number is to a discontinued product! ... cuz t hey're discontinuing a lot of their older products... cuz they're designing new ones that use newer technology so they can be less bulky and cost less to produce.  Hopefully they'll make a new model that will be sufficient... it's always a pain when something you depend on being there up and dissapears.

The good news is for me... is that I called the radioshack closest to me, and while they didn't have any, the manager found one was listed in stock at a store.... which they regularly trade stock with... so he's going to have it brought over and call me back when it gets there.  ... and now the crazy thing.. I made this phone call to Radio Shack at 1:40AM in the morning expecting to get an answering machine telling me the hours of operation... I was totally not expecting to have someone pick up on the other end of the line.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Whats this card?]

Hi,

When I was At NWCGE 2k6 ver2.0 I bought a Turbografx with turbo CD and no power supply.. anyway... while getting frustrated on the whole ps unit thing, I decided to stop and take pictures of my gaming collection since I hadn't updated what I had online in a long long time.... and when I got to my TG 16 stuff I found this card....

I seem to recall someone sold it to me saying I'd need it to be able to play all CD games(the card I got with the TG 16 from another vendor was a ver 1.0 cd loader card..or whatever they're called).... anyway it has some japanese on it and well.... when it comes time, am I going to need an adapter card to make it work?

it says something very *very* scary.  175V 20mA 

And of cource... at that voltage not very well regulated.. indeed, it put out 225V on my multimeter...  Yeck.

I knew the odds that the paper wasn't correct weren't all that great... but I just had to test it..  By the way... the AC voltage in my house regularly fluctuates between 105V and 115V.

the website that said 11V 1.6A was probably refering to something by a different manufactuer with the same model number... or perhaps whoever made the list was an imbicile... but whatever the case... I'm going to go ahead and attempt to return this monster and well...

...I dunno... I'm really irritated right now.... I guess I can try out what they're suggesting in that other thread... though I just hate using a voltage that isn't what is listed on the turbo CD.

ok.... well, the box got here... and the little peice of paper that came with it says something other than 11V 1.6A.....

I'm going to test it with a meter after work.... but I think I'm going to have to send it back.

Oh ruddy hell.  Those punks I ordered from took three days to actually get my ding dong package to UPS.  Anyway... It is determined that UPS will have it to me on the 9th... so I'll take my Turbografx CD into the electronics shop to find an appropriat plug on Friday and do the work either Friday or Saturday.  The suspence is killing me.... to FINALLY get to play my Turbo CD games... I've had some of them for over half a year now without being able to play ANY of them.

I DID IT!!!!!

YAY ME!  I found an adaptor that is 11V DC 1.6Amps! I ordered it and all I gots to do is cut the connector off, buy the right conector at my favorite local electonic parts shop, and solder it on making sure to get polarity correct.

I just did a search on 11v DC on google... found a catalog for a phone order service with a huge listing of  power supplies along with model numbers on  and found something that uses such a power supply that is currently available.... I did a search on google for the model number and found it cheaper somewhere else.

Anyway, the one I bought has a model number of AD-27 and is made by a company called Sunpak.... bought it through amazon stores for $38.79.... cheapest price I found on it(that is untill, after I ordered, if I thought to use froogle for sunpak AD-27 I could a paid a bit less)... it may seem a little high, but it's worth it to get something that will not kill the system or itself.

And yes... Rockin' Kats is fun.

Hi,

I'm trying to find a power supply for my Turbografx CD so I can play my CD games as well as my hucards.... I've had this system now for over half a year and I still havn't been able to try any of my CD games.
