Hi there, can anyone make me a deal on PC Engine or Turbo Duo controller(s)?
I recently attained a PC-Engine Duo and need some compatible controllers. Doesn't have to be fancy, mainly looking for the standard official nec pads or avenue pads.
Thanks!

I've got a controller that originally came with a TG16 but it wouldn't match a Duo very well.

I have one of these that I'm not completely attached to, not going to be cheap though.

Well, I'm still all ears. I'd take just about anything, I'm mainly trying to make sure it works and to troubleshoot the cd portion. It could always become a player 2 pad later, haha.
It has the smaller pc-engine plug, not the larger tg16 one? (the one on the left http://www.gamesx.com/controldata/turbocont.htm)
InsaneDavid: looks nice but more in the market for a pad. I'll keep that in mind though!

What are those worth? It looks awesome :)

If its a tg16 controller it wont work with a pce engine, PCE duo or turbo duo. You'd need a converter cable. You can find them on ebay (UK) and they're not too expensive.

c0ldb33r is correct unfortunately. The TG16 controller I have uses the larger connector.

Darn. Thanks for the response though APE992 :)
I'm aware a converter cable would work but considering I don't own any TG16 controllers it's not going to be that worthwhile for me, I should just be looking into Pc-engine native stuff. Unless you could make me a decent deal on it APE992.
While that joystick does look pretty nice I really don't want to sink tons of money into the Duo until I have an idea what does or doesn't work on it. I need a controller to even test booting cd's on it, I know hucards/the bios does work.
