It is also important to get true RGB out. All of the research I've done says you have to internally mod the system's RGB and SYNC signals. But on the other hand this product and others like the db-Electronics grafx booster claim to produce true RGB video without internal mods. I have the skills and willingness to do the internal mod, just not to my stock, in box TG-16. I'd sooner buy the PCE if I can't have my cake and eat it too!

Make sure you check out Rainbow Islands CD version. Easily the best home version of the game ever made and has the right music. I do think this is terribly overpriced though. Not having to buy the CDs is just pirating, you aren't actually saving any money. The original CDs are not copyprotected anyway and so you can simply BURN them!

The people who think this item is too expensive are simply nuts... It would cost more to just buy a PC Engine Duo system, or one of the myriad number of CD games that hundreds of dollars. So with this item, all you need is a PC Engine console (base, Core Grafx I or II, TG16) and now you can play: 1. Every single HuCard game 2. Every single CD game 3. Every single Super Grafx game (if you have the console) 4. All arcade CD games PLUS: RGB and component video support without modding your console. If you can't afford the price, that's understandable. But don't say the item is overpriced, because it provides a stunning amount of content and features for the price. Yes, I may have a couple complaints, but they are overall quite negligible and can be addressed with a future firmware patch. This has been one of the best additions to my videogame collection, and now I have unlocked the full potential of my PC Engine and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite consoles of all time.

You will spend about the same or more if you dont have the PC-engine/Tg-16 system. might be cheaper to get a PC-Engine Duo-R already RGB modded and Recapped. no copy protection, so you can Burn games. and get an everdrive for $75. out of all the CD based games, maybe 30 are even worth playing. This thing is awesome dont get me wrong, you are right about people complaining about price.

Hello kyle, You are right about a number of things, but one more aspect I forgot to mention is the convenience factor. Since you can get the BIOs for all the system cards (and the arcade card is built in already) that is one thing that makes it easier, plus having all your CD bin/cue files on a single microSD card instead of hundreds of CDs. There is also the reliability factor, many Duo-R's have failing CD drives at this point, and while fixable, it is not always a cheap process. So there is much less of a headache with just getting an SSDS3.

I remember catching the TurboGraFx at my local Mall's game shop somewhere around late 89 - 90'. There were a couple of Kiosks, where i got to play Bonk's Adventure, while Keith Courage was on display in the stores main showcase with all of the Turbo Accessories. I remember seeing Samurai 'mode' Keith roaming around on a CRT and my jaw almost hit the floor. The colors and visuals for Bonk were defnitely impressive after being so accustomed to the NES too. 89, was amazing time to be alive! :D Yet, the lack of a 2nd controller port, no Composite/AV port(They made us fork over more money for adapters which was pure BS) poor CD case Box Art, lame UCard logo-only sticker art, and poor commercial adverts. The controller looked cool, but the NA console design was a bit of a mixed bag. Plus there didn't seem to be an real support from some of the key players like Capcom or Konami. They completely butchered the TurboGraFx in NA. lol Anyways, thinking about getting a PC Engine(White) + PC Engine CD paired with the Interface Unit. Looks awesome aesthetically, plus you get composite cable support.

Reverse polarity is a class 1, 2, and 3 defect per IPC, so you were right to point that out. Granted those are tantalum caps and don't pop like electrolytic caps, but a defect is a defect and that'll still kill the cap. IDK why I watched this though. I don't even have a PC engine, but now I kinda want one 😂

Nice to know some history about this machine. But personally I rather stick with emulation for older consoles with Retropie on a Raspberry Pi 3. Not only for the huge difference in pricing but also because the lack of space for every console ever released on my shelves. I will agree that playing games on the original vintage hardware with even a old television gives the best experience but emulation gives a great experience as well. I do always try to look for USB replica's of the controllers to get as close to the original experience as possible with only one computer for emulation.

I had no idea the TG16 existed when growing up until one day randomly going into Toy's R Us. This was around the time Sonic 2 had just been released and I remember playing Air Zonk and never EVER forgetting that game. If I bought a TG16, Air Zonk would be the first game I'd buy.

Long story short, I'd never buy a TO product, and luckily will instead choose the Analogue Duo over this solution!

That why I got a Mega Drive again (the games I still had). Emulation simply doesn't give me the same vibe. Now I'm only missing a CRT. I'm still wondering if I should get a Mega CD but I never owned one so it might be enough to emulate it with my laptop and connecting a CRT Monitor via VGA plus getting a Mega Drive style USB controller. I always liked the look of the TurboDuo and would prefer to get one of them. And a Sharp X68000 in black... And a Wondermega model 1... *dream* The Amiga would be also interesting as I only played a friend's Amiga 500 and went from C64 directly to PC (not counting consoles). I don't miss the C64's floppy flipping though as playing Ultima 6 was a pain.

If the transparent gray accessories that I forgot the name of has display out and SD card support then wouldn't it just be cheaper to have a cable go to USB and the program on your computer, I mean if I had a collection of consoles in my living room all set up I would probably have a media PC there as well. I'm not saying it's easier just said it's cheaper, and they're wondering what the benefits are for emulation, I mean you are already running an SD card so it's not really that big of a lead.

Love your content and keep up the good work. Teeny nitpick, but it's Grafx as opposed to Graphx. Either way, it was a neat system, and though I never purchased one, they used to demo them at Radio Shack [RIP :( ] and I wasted my time (and the store clerks' patience) on Bonk more than I care to admit.

Amazing channel, subscribed. I love the PC Engine, but it's so expensive. Definitely waiting for this to get reverse engineered by the Chinamen!

Does the video signal still goes out from the original composite output? Or only from the "new" RGB one on the rear?

Out of my price range sadly (especially with a PCE added) but still a cool device. I just wonder, since you said it's a FPGA device couldn't they just make it work on its own?

I don't have a PC Engine, but Im glad you said it works on Turbo Grafx 16. Probably gonna end up with one of these. Also, I dont see why not, but can you load roms with translation patches onto it?

#Modern Vintage Gamer So this uses the console's original hardware to play ROMs? How is it doing that without the CD drive? Does the CD games not really need the drive?

Great vid, thank you. Since you have an original pce cd system ... Does the brief case unit play burned cd backups?

0:30 Wait, what?? Excuse me? Failed to compete with "Sony" and Nintendo?? Sony was not a player at this time! They were as relevant in gaming as Panasonic, Magnavox, Sanyo, and Radioshack at this time. I think you meant to say they could not compete with Sega and Nintendo.

Out of curiosity, why aren't your videos 4k anymore? I was just wondering because that was one of the reasons that made you unique; well besides the fact you go in depth with underrated consoles and explain reasons how to modify them to such intriguing capabilities.

This is a great addon idea! But I must wonder if it's really worth the money at this point? I mean now you're just loading roms onto the console. So why not just go all the way and use an emulator? At that point you would get the lovely upscaling a framemiester can do and don't need to buy a console or addons if you choose not to. I have been pondering this as of late with several of my own consoles in my collection breaking down.

after checking things a little more deeper the sgx seems to have something more than a ram expansion from stock pce (in the video department). still, since there are working sgx fpga cores around already, it might be possible to make 'em work. unless it's something impossible to manage from the pce expansion bay bus, that is

Is it still way cheaper to get a Pc engine than a Turbographix16? I love how small the PCengine is and wanting to go that route.
