A friend of mine has a Japanese Turbo Duo for sale, only thing is, it's totally bare bones. Just the unit itself. No power adapter, no video cables, no controller.
Now, I understand that the Japanese Turbo Duo's use different controller plug things than the U.S. ones. So I can't use a TurboGrafx controller. I've heard there are adapters out there, so you can use a regular TurboPad, but I understand these things aren't exactly cheap.
As for the Power Adapter, Is there anything I can buy at Radio Shack that would work? Or any of the power adapters for any other systems that would work? Would a USA version of the TurboDuo's power adapter work on the japanese system? If I did somehow get the actual power adapter that is supposed to go with it, would I need some type of converter to use it here in the U.S?
In regards to the video cable, I was planning on having this system modded for R.G.B., only thing is, my normal R.G.B. guy is missing in action, and I would need to find a new R.G.B. guy, and I would need to send him this TurboDuo so that he could mod it. So I would have to trust the guy. Anybody know anybody that visits this website that can do Duo R.G.B. mods and is trustworthy? I've already been scammed once trying to buy a TG-16 CD player. Ok, lets say forget the whole R.G.B. thing, let's say that I just want to use a regular video cable, do I have to use a special one for the Japanese Duo, or can I use one for an American duo? Where could I get such a video cable? Does the back of the Japanese Turbo Duo have any composite video or stereo plugs on it, like you would find on a TurboBooster? Or is it a multi av out that requires a specialized cable?
Sorry for so many freaking questions, but I've never seen a duo, american or otherwise, and I don't know crap about the power adapters, controllers, video cables, etc, etc, and with this unit being bare bones, I would need to know what I'm going to need for it, and how much it's going to cost.
