Is this converter any good?

I'm not selling it or anything.... just saw it and was curious if it is any good?

I doubt that it's $100 good.

I doubt that it's $100 good.

Yeah, I paid less than that for my Duo R. The best adaptor for the money is...an entire system!

I like how its "sealed". Does that mean anything when its applied to hacked together stuff made in someones garage?

That's the type of converter that I have, and while it gets the job done, it has its drawbacks.  The HuCard slot was cobbled together from a double sided slot meant for something else; consequently, a small bit of pcb was glued in at one end to make it the correct width and the bottom was ground down to provide the necessary clearance.  The width modification is fine, but the rough surface on the bottom tends to scratch up the bottom side of HuCards worse than a 'real' slot.  Also, the card end connections corrode much quicker than a HuCard's, so it has to be cleaned a bit if unused for a while.  Still, it gets the job done and is okay at the right price and if you prefer to leave your console unmolested, want to use it with multiple Duos/TG-16s/Expresses, and/or don't want to have yet another console connected to your television.

It can also be had for a similar price from its manufacturer, Telegames.  Shipping might be a bit stiff though, considering both of these companies are in Europe.

It looks like a ripoff of the Kisado converter. I've used other converters before and the success rate is always questionable. They're rarely worth the money that's charged for them. I don't know how much they go for now, but  get a Kisado converter if you can find it a good price or buy a japanese system. I bought my Kisado converters almost 15 ago and they still work today.
