[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Any TG16 Modders residing in NYC area??]

I have to find it again. I was there about 8 or 9 months ago. I have been meaning to take a trip downtoen and re locate it. Its on the lower east side somewhere. They have tons of stuff. The prices aren't soo great but you can't beat the selection. I hope its still there!!

Geez is it me or have Prices on TG16/PC and related hardware/software gone up even more in the past couple of years? Or am I just broker? :

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Confused about Arcade Pro Hu Card]

Cool.  Thanks for dealing with my infant TG styles. Its crazy man I can't believe I registered for this site in like 05 but I have less than twenty posts. Thanks for the clarification.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Confused about Arcade Pro Hu Card]

OK. So I'm looking to get my TG16-CD region modded. After that I'll be able to use the Arcade Pro Card to play Arcade CD Rom2 games. Would still need another card to be able to Play Super CD-Rom2 Games(Like the super system 3.0 card??) Doesn't The arcade Pro card have the same RAM boost as the super system 3.0 card?. I've read through the compatability guide a few times and I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing. Sorry for the Noobiness of the question. Thanks

What up forum?? I haven't been on this site in a while. I recently discovered that my mom had not thrown out my TG16-CD and a few games. Of course much has changed since those days and its tough to find decent prices for games and stuff. I found a store out here in Manhattan that has a bunch of pc-duo/turbo stuff but the prices aren't so great. At the time I was active on the site I had spoken to that D-lite dude who seems to have gone awol and owe some folks money. I was hoping to maybe get my system fully modded but I'm not so keen on mailing it anywhere. Does anyone know any where in NYC that I can bring my unit into and get some mods done to it? Any guidance is much appreciated.

What exactly is the difference between Super cd rom2 systems and Arcade cd rom2 systems??

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Random Game articles from 1993]

There are some towards the bottom that mention some interesting things about early cd-rom technology. My bad I couldn't like trim it down or anything. Its alot to sift through. The one all the way at the bottom is worth checking.

I kept looking at it ...like ooo I want..But the money wasn't there. I checked today and it was gone.(ouch).I hope one of you guys snagged it...

happy holidays

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Happy Hollerdayz]

Chilling and playing my one game..(ouch its true) Gives me hope for the future of collecting more.Hope all is well with ya'll. Also did any of you guys see the turbo duo for sale on craigs list?? 400 bucks with 50 games. I didn't have the loot but it seemed like a good deal. Has anyone else ever looked for stuff on craigs list before??  Anyways thanks for helping to keep the dream alive...

ps still having crazy hu card fantasy dreams...Shit runs deep!!!

Peace

Yea that compatability guide is awesome. I read it like ten times and I keep missing something each time. I didn't notice anything about a super system 3.01 card. I guess its just a typo?? Hopefully I'll be able to get my tg-16 modded at www.multimods.com and just use the arcade pro. But In the event that I can't do that right away because of money or something I would like to get an american super system 3.0 (or 3.01??) card so i can at least buy cd games from anywhere. There's a few of em now on ebay but I think the only american one is probably gonna get jacked up to like 100 bucks. Thats almost as much as getting the whole mod deal...I dunno for now I'm just holding out and having massive NEC fever. I swear man for like days now I've been having crazy ass tg-16 dreams...I mean I liked it when I bought back in the day..But nothing like this man. Hooked like an addiction. I'm still in school so the next two weeks is gonna be crazy but after that I'm going on the mega mission for games....Oh yea one more Question...You can get converters to be able to use Duo controllers on a tg-16 right?? I think someone told me this already but I'm not sure....Thanks ya'll...I thought I was the only one with those dreams..haha

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Advice]

Yea I can't believe I found one there either. Mother gunner hooked my up with the link. Do you know if a super system 3.o card will always work on a Turbo grafx 16?? I thought it was a north american release. I found one on e bay that says you need a converter to use it in an american system. But isn't that weird because I thought that all pc-duos had them built in already? But ohhhh man this freaking turbo grafx has totally possessed me..I could barely afford that arcade card but I just had to get it. I swear dude I keep having dreams about finding a massive amount of games..Its soo crazy. But yea i'll try to get the link for that e bay thing....
thanks

Yea for now 200 bucks is not an option. At least not yet. These next few months I'll hopefully be stacking some finances and will be able do something soon. I managed to find an arcade pro card on a japanese site for like 35 dollars. I figured this was a good deal and I can always e bay it if it turns out I don't need it or can't use it. Is that a good deal?? It might be like 40 with shipping. I'll hopefully just get my tg16 modded with the region switch from the www.multimods.com site. For now until I can afford a good deal on a dou-r or duo rx. The multimods site has some sick systems too but I just can't drop that much money on it right now. But I'm also trying to get a supersystem 3.0 card. Before I e bay for games I think I'll hit the streets..Hard. Just go to like everyplace in and around the area that seems like they might have something. I mean this stuff is way inflated in terms of prices for games but I think that the following for it is still somewhat small compared to other systems. So maybe if I am lucky I can get to some spots that haven't already been raided by other NEC searchers. I know it is a battle I should have waged sooner but with a little luck and faith I think It'll be ok. I just gotta regulate my spending so I don't go crazy. Thats why I'm waiting for the duo..The mod stuff should still be under like 150 total (I hope) which will leave some dough for game hunting....anyways thanks for reading lemme know whats up   thanks

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Advice]

I just read through the compatability guide and figured some stuff out. Thanks again for the info. That discount code worked too.  Thanks again..

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Advice]

so If I get an Arcade pro card I can play Super cd games and Pc Duo games?? Are super cd 1 games only for the turbografx cd attachment and the super cd 2 games are for the pd-duo? I am still kind of confused about that. Like the turbo grafx with a cd attachment and an arcade pro card or super system 3.0 card can play all of the duo games?? Except for japanese ones and thats what the converter switch is for ..right?  sorry for being newbie

Thanks

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Bonk 3]

Is the HuCard version compatible with the tg-16?? Also is it more expensive than the cd version??

Thanks

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Advice]

Awesome...yea I can see there are many options. I'll definately check out the mod site...Thanks sooooo much

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Advice]

Whats up....

My story is sad but true. After aquiring a tg-16 and cd unit and a decent selection of games in my youth it was tossed in the trash by my mom while I was away a couple of years ago. I was totally bummed out for a while. I recently found the unit in my attic with a bunch of controllers but, no games except that super cool caveman named bonk. No cd system card which sucks but I have no cd games now anyway. Its just me and Bonk 1. I can't complain though atleast there is hope. I can't believe how addicting it was playing this thing. Its like crazy..but I'm sure you all know the feeling thats why we are here. I had no idea there was such a dedicated hardcore fanbase. Most of the time when I mentioned it to people they didn't know what I was talking about..I've attempted to get stuff at stores but never on e bay or anything. The only time I've even seen stuff in a store the guy who was there said it wasn't for sale..Anyway long story short.. I am hooked and looking to get back in the game for life. Unfortunately I discovered TZD.com too late. Although they still have some stuff..Has anyone ever bought stuff from this site..They have a system 2.0 card for cheap..Is it too good to be true..Also any advice for getting games?? Is E bay the only answer..Any info would be greatly appreciated..I'm glad the fight to keep the turbo family alive has so many soldiers

thank you for your time
