Wireless TurboGrafx Joystick

[Sinistron]

Here is the "Acemore Freedom 16"-
a clanky 3rd party wireless for US Turbo.
It's all yours Nat!  Probably mail it tomorrow- Monday the latest.
Made sure it worked today- works fine.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone image.

[nat]

Probably the only existing US-made wireless Turbo accessory.

One question: is it bottom-weighted?

[Kitsunexus]

It looks a lot like this: /xe1profcwd7.jpg

[nat]

Except that one's not wireless.

[Sinistron]

lol it's bottom weighted when you put in the 4 aa's. 

[Sinistron]

another thing with this is that it's very easy to forget you have the "on" switch on- and then you go to use it again and your batteries are drained.  I got scared this morning when I saw old batteries crusted to shit inside- but I got 'em out- tried new ones and it works fine- as stated.

Who else has seen this thing? What'd they make like 500 and sell five of them?

[Sinistron]

googling this has only turned up mention of an acemore freedom 16 for the megadrive- a "faulty" one boxed in a warehouse. 

[NecroPhile]

I've never seen one, but it looks kinda cool.  I suppose that it won't work with the normal wireless receiver and requires its own, right?

That's what I'm going to be testing as soon as it arrives.

The turbo/pce got so few 3rd party controllers, it's awesome to find them at all.

[M1Savage]

At one time, I had about 25 of those things. Think I still have 2 or 3 around here somewhere.

[nat]

I take it you must have bought all that were manufactured, then.

[M1Savage]

Heh, all I know is that I bought some boxes of Acemore joysticks and quite a few of them were the wireless ones. I still have some of the Acemore Supersticks (wired ones) in a stack.

[spenoza]

Do you just randomly stock up on console hardware for fun?

[M1Savage]

I used to do it for fun and profit. Turned out it was fun but not very profitable. 

[Keranu]

Wow, I've never seen this before! Thanks for posting!

[esteban]

Ha! I thought this thread was going to be about the wireless PCE pads... not an actual TURBO accessory!

I've never seen the wireless version of this... never even knew it existed.

[turbofan1]

Speaking of the wireless PCE pads,Can they be used on A Turbo Duo?

[guyjin]

I don't see why not.

Yes. I do that all the time.

[turbofan1]

Ok thanks.I should of probably of known that.I thought someone mentioned one time that the pins where different in the PCE controllers.And they would`nt work on the Turbo.But that was false.

[Ceti Alpha]

Well, the Turbografx 16 controllers had a different pin set up, but the Turbo Duo used the same pins as the PCE.

Yeah, it's easy to remember if you just put TG-16 + accessories in the ODDBALL category (it uses the older, larger DIN connector).

USA DUO is compatible with ALL Japanese PC-Engine / Duo accessories, since they share the same mini-DIN connector.

[cybercross]

hi. im new here.
anyway, if i didn't know any better, id say thats a wireless, US version of the Japanese PC Engine ASCII stick.
btw, Kitsunexus, the XE-1 FC Pro stick thats hooked up to your NES, is that a connector that allows you to use famicom peripherals on the US NES? if so, where can i find it?

[Ceti Alpha]

Welcome cybercross.

[Sinistron]

Well I sent this monstrosity to Nat and he has received it.  We are all eagerly awaiting his full professional report. 

[nat]

You'll get one as soon as I can bothered to track down some AA batteries. 

[Sinistron]

you let a lack of AA's slow you down?   

[Sinistron]

Don't mind me- I'm just trying to get to 300 posts to advance out of floret sprung-
will 300 do it??? 

YESSS!!! 
VENUS BONKTRAP SON!

[shubibiman]

Wow, 'd never heard of that wireless controler before!

[cybercross]

hey Kitsunexus, i just wanted to ask you a quick question-
in the Wireless TurboGrafx Joystick thread https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?msg=73103, you had a picture of the XE-1 pro FC stick connected to the NES. i wanted to know, that connector you have in the NES, does it let you connect famicom accessories to the NES, and where can i get one? (or did you make it?) i tried to send this to your PM, but it blocked it.

[NecroPhile]

i tried to send this to your PM, but it blocked it.

That's because he's on a mandatory 'vacation'; don't expect him to answer any time soon.
