That'd be cool That could get tons of signatures, maybe even hit the 500 signature mark.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Wireless PC Engine Pad on TG16]

I think at least 500 would spark some support, lately some of their products have the "Limited Edition" subtitle so I bet there won't bee too many so I guess they "could" consider at least 500 signatures to make a limited editon Turbo wireless pad. At least its up a few signatures since a long time, thanks guys

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Wireless PC Engine Pad on TG16]

I've been wanting to buy one but they usually go up so expensive on ebay. A long time ago Messiah wanted to support other systems with new controllers besides the NES and SNES. I talked to a guy working there and he said that they would consider making new Turbo Grafx/Turbo Duo wireless pads (like their NES and SNES ones) but only like if it had the support of about 1,000 people. I made a petition trying to get signatures ever since but they have since then dropped the links to the other controllers they were going to make. Dunno if they are still making them but they were going to remake the Genesis ones. Turbo Grafx/Duo ones woud've been so cool. Here's the petition just in case anyone's interested:

Perhaps if it CAN get up to 1,000 signatures I can email it to Messiah and they can consider making them

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What's the deal with the Turbo/PCE video signal?]

I had alot of the problems listed here some time ago (I made a thread about it in December or early January) I think I read S-Video modification wouldn't help much with playing a Duo on a HD LCD TV? I also did have a problem with random flashes in gameplay, my Sega CDX (aka Multi Mega) and it has the same problem and my TV is a Samsung (with "game" mode). Overall, what brand of lcd tvs would you guys say messes up classic games "least"? Widescreen Bonk looks wierd though Widescreen Space Harrier doesn't look that bad XD

I got Kabukiden new/sealed off ebay a few years ago and I only got 1 disk. I'm sure they made it a double cd case to accomodate for a thicker manual, though I also got Monster Maker and that came in a 1 CD case but it was thicker than normal due to its thick manual

I would though I don't have a VCR right now, it broke a long time ago. I got a DVD player but its one of those Wal-Mart compact ones, only seems to have output. Has Component/AV but no inputs to do the old trick (I used to do that before for my PS1 since I had a very old TV at the time and had no RF input on my old tv)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine TV troubles]

LCDs are not "the best" for starters. Picture quality-wise they are very inferior to both CRT and plasma. They are insaenly bright as eye-burning hell, and oh so flat, but they don't produce a more accurate picture. Your problem though probably has nothing to do with that sort of thing. I imagine its one of those inscrutable hang-ups like PS1s on Zenith TVs. It just...happens. It probably has something to do with the PCE's so-so composite output.

I suggest getting a component video mod for the PCE and using an XRGB2. This is mad expensive, but it might help and it certainly can't hurt. It will upconvert the signal to something more native to what your LCD understands.

I always DID think the PCE's and Genesis's composite output was a bit flimsy, I could get a mod for that but has anyone seen somebody that does an S-Video or component upgrade? I kinda doubt component could be made for the PC Engine though I'd settle for S-Video. Oldschoolgamer.ca seems only to make individual composite video for the PCE but that would help get rid of the noise around the edges, still might have the light/dark flickering, still a step up from outputting composite video signal out of that rather flimsy plug. As for the XRBG3 or XRBG2....they seem a bit expensive in play-asia, I see other VGA boxes like http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-86-49-en-70-2cs.html and http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-86-49-en-70-1od8.html are these comparable to the XRGB2 or 3? I got a PC input on my TV so I can just plug this and my Sega CDX in, that'd be taking care of 2 birds with 1 stone.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine TV troubles]

So this would happen with most any LCD TV's? Or just the HD Variety? I have another normal flat screen tv out in the living room but it has another annoying problem, the colours are washed out in the top left-hand of the screen every now and then I guess my LCD is fine for now Thanks for the input guys

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine TV troubles]

I noticed this when I was playing Flash Hiders that I got a few days ago. Its more like I see gameplay or a video and it's more that the colours flicker from light (default) to a darker shade and back every 30ish seconds or so. Everything else (transparencies, shadows, ect) seem to be fine. Also I do seem to get "noise" around the edges in some images (like edges in the opening cinema for Flash Hiders). I just bought this tv like a few days before christmas, I was wondering maybe I could just return the tv and get a different model, I'm not sure about that Will all LCD TV's do this or is it just because its HD?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / PC Engine TV troubles]

I recently got a Samsung HD LCD TV around Christmas time, wanting to make my games look better than ever. The PS2 I got looks fine in HD though my PC Engine Duo RX and Genesis have a bit of trouble. I dunno how to explain it but it goes from light to dark alot like if were to flash. It's a bit less noticable when I set my tv to "game mode" but still mildly annoying. Has anyone had this trouble? Is there a solution to this? I am wondering wether or not to return the tv and get another style of LCD TV (I got my heart set out on having a LCD TV since I want the best picture possible out of my systems like I see in the Rooms of Doom over at Digital press)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Question about Turbo Duo controllers]

Was that site you were referring to in regards of the NES controller the same site that shows you how to install a region mod on your Turbo systems? I don't know the link off hand, but if we're talking about the same site, I could find it for you. I'm not sure if that's what the site I am referring to did, but maybe.

I'm not sure, but I remember that the guy doing the mod used one of those extention cords to replace the original NES cord. As for TZD, I'm not sure I can use it since I'm in Canada and their international shipping is about 31 dollars when I go to checkout. I also wanted to get a spare Dungeon Master: Theron's Quest manual since the one I have is worn. I also seen midwest-games.com has a bunch for sale, as well as some other turbo stuff like av cables and that PS2 controller adaptor. I'll try with the computer store first though,  if it doesnt work then I'll order one off midwest-games.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Question about Turbo Duo controllers]

Hi, I'm new to the PC Engine FX boards (but not to PC Engine gaming, owned one since 1998). I was wondering something about Turbo Duo/PC Engine controllers. Somebody mentioned somewhere that duo extention cords are actually Mac Keyboard cables? Is that true? If so I can just go downtown to get one off some computer store, rather than order them online. Also, I remember seeing a site that a guy modded a NES controller to work on a Turbo Duo, has anyone ever seen that before? I had it bookmarked once but can't seem to find it now
