If I buy a PCengine 6 button controller, and swap the cords. Can I use the 6 button controller as my primary Turbografx 16 controller? or will games freak out with the extra input buttons?

What's up with islands? Get more land.

What's this about "swapping the cords" now? If you're talking about wiring the Avenue 6 to plug into a TG16, you're better off using an adapter.
So, that won't work. The pinout is different for the duo controllers and the original tg16 pads. In a us duo the avenue 6 pad works fine without an adaptor, but you need one if you're gonna use it on a tg-16.

This is what I've heard with Turbo pads, people were switching them with either Duo cords or PCE cords either to change the connectors on them or to have longer cords. I forget exactly where I saw this but I remember the cords being removable, I'm not sure if all of the controllers were like this though.
Reminds me that as a kid, I got in a fight with my sister and ended up yanking out the cord on my ASCIIpad. I put it back in and it seems to still work.
However, I had forgotten until recently it had developed another problem, likely after that incident: occasionally the Start button would fire on its own. Would that likely be solved by swapping the cord?

It might make sense to mod or use an adapter with, the PCengine multiplayer tap. I think that would convert up to five at once.
Lum fan.
Theclaw has the best answer. If anything needs to be modded, the DuoTap would be what I would pick. Keeps your controllers stock, and is a nifty little piece of tech to sock away for a rainy day.
TG16 controllers do have a clipped on cord inside. So do Turbo Taps. I don't know about if they're compatible with Duo/Japanese controllers or taps, though... I definitely think I've heard that the taps, atl east, are compatible, and that you just need to swap the cords and presto, reverse turbotap and reverse duo tap. Going by this thread though, maybe that isn't true for the controllers? DO the Japanese/Duo controllers use different wiring orders?
Oh man, I didn't think it would be this bad, but trying to play Street Fighter II with the stock turbografx controller is bad. It's like playing it with an NES controller. I just got my Chopsado today and I can now play it.

It's your controller.
