It's an unbelievable feeling to finally experience true peace with all things video game related. I have found that true peace. It comes via a TurboDuo controller.
Un Freaking Believable
That's all I can really say after finally experiencing my Turbo dream finally coming to reality. You see, for the longest time now, I've had a Arcade Card Pro, but I couldn't use it, because my region modded turbo got lost by the USPS. So I have been unable to play Super CD games, as well as Arcade CD games. I could only play regular CD games, and I couldn't even play them in RGB, because I didn't have a RGB mod either.
Well, I finally got a turbo that has both a region mod, and a rgb mod, and I can use my Arcade Card Pro, and I'm in total video game heaven.
I have experienced the most amazing video game that I've played in a long, long, long time.....Dracula X. What a freaking masterpiece this game is. Hearing the music just sends a shiver down my spine it's so good. But man, I must say that I'm playing all kinds of Super CD games, mostly from Japan, and finally getting to play these games, and to experience them in RGB, and to hear the incredible CD music, it's just so freaking amazing.
It's like a religious experience.
The TurboDuo is the best kept secret in video games. Man, the games on this thing have such a sweet flavor to them. Definitely has it's own special flavor and vibe. I just wish that I could have experienced this back when it actually happened. To think that I'm just discovering this now. If I had a TurboDuo back then it would have been amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't know about what was going on in Japan, and I sold my Turbo right before the SNES launched, and a never looked back until like 2003 when I first went retro.
But man, if I knew about all the incredible games in Japan and all that stuff, and if I knew that they could be played in RGB, I would have definitely been a hardcore TurboDuo enthusiast back then. Instead I forgot all about the Turbo and moved on with the Genny, SNES and Sega CD.

How are you playing them in RGB? With some sort of converter or do you have a monitor that supports RGB?
Congrats though, that sounds awesome.
I beat Dracula X on my puter... =\
I'm not sure I can afford the system + game.

Thats why I decided to get one in 2003 after visiting a friend who had one.
Now I'm proud owner of a TurboDuo R, PCE GT and over 120 Games.
With Dracula X probably being one of the best.

Ill probably never do that stuff "Unless I hit it rich and want every pure gaming experience"
But I am happy to see someone pick the system they like, do the modifications needed, get the games required and then DO IT.
There is a purity to this mans post that alot of people in this community cant fully grasp.
All the undumped roms and sealed R8's in the world wont come close to it and I envy him for that feeling.

Well, I must be honest and say that I don't have a "legit" copy of Dracula X. I don't have that much money burning a hole in my pocket. When it comes to old school CD based games, I don't really care if it's real or if it's memorex, I just want to play the thing and check it out.
But in regards to doing everything that needs to be done to get the setup the way I want it, well yes, it was a real pain in the ass, but now that's it's all finished, and I can play Turbo Duo games in RGB, it's pretty awesome.
Originally, I just had a regular TurboGrafx-16 system. That's what I had back in 1989. Back in 89, I sold my NES, and all my NES games, and all the money I got went into a new TurboGrafx-16 system and a stereo color TV. I of course got a TurboBooster as well. Back then it was all about Dungeon Explorer. I had a TurboTap and a bunch of TurboPads, and me and all my buddies would play Dungeon Explorer till the wee hours of the morning. That was a cool time.
Then as the SNES was about to come out, I made a horrible decision. I decided to sell all my Turbo stuff, so that I could get a SNES and a bunch of launch games. At the time it seemed like a very smart decision, because I sold it just before it's value really started to plummet, but in hindsight, I wish I never sold it.
Back then I never had the CD unit. I went retro in 2003, and the TG-16 was one of the first systems that I wanted to get back. I never had the CD system, but I heard lots of people here talk about how the CD games are pretty outstanding. So finally, I ended up getting a CD unit. The thing is, all I had was a System 2.0 card, so I could only play the regular CD's and not the Super CD's or the Arcade CD's. I had the opportunity to get a Arcade Card Pro for a very cheap price (like $32 shipped!), so I snached it up. Only thing is, I needed to get the Turbo region modded. So I sent my Turbo to Mr. RGB, to do the region mod and a RGB mod, and when I got it back the region mod was working beautifully, but the RGB mod wasn't working right. The signal was scrambled. So I sent it back to Mr. RGB, but the freaking USPS lost the damn package. Can you believe that? It was like a $120 loss to me, because I had to pay big money for the region mod and the RGB mod.
So anyways, I finally got another TG-16 and had both mods done to it, and I finally got it back, and just these last few days I've been playing all kinds of TurboDuo games, and it's a totally amazing experience.
The thing about the TurboDuo that is so cool, is that the graphics have a 8 bit look to them, except with insane color and then the sound is CD sound. It's a really cool combination. Most people forget that the Turbo could put the same number of colors onscreen as the SNES can. (it can't choose the colors from as large a palette as the SNES, but I think it can put the same number of colors onscreen simultaneously). So Turbo games can be very colorfull. Well, you add that, and then you add a amazing CD soundtrack, and you add the 8 bit type graphics, and it's just got a really cool flavor to it.
I mean, the graphics are definitely better than 8 bit, but it still has a 8 bit feel to it, which is really cool.
And then if you are somebody that doesn't have a moral problem with playing backups, then the TG-16 CD combo is pure heaven. I could never afford to buy all the real games from Japan, they go for way too much bank on Ebay, but the backups are much more obtainable for me. I know some people feel it's blasphemy to play Backups, but it doesn't bother me. It's the only way that I'm going to be able to experience games like Sapphire. You know how much that game goes for on Ebay?
All I can say is that the Turbo CD is pure bliss baby. You should really check it out if you can. Especially if you can get it working in RGB. Here is what I suggest you obtain:
THINGS YOU NEED TO ACHIEVE PURE BLISS IN VIDEO GAMING
1. TG-16 core system - You need a working TG-16 core system. You don't need the power adapter for it, or the video plug or anything like that. Just the barebones TG-16 core system. ($20)
2. TG-16 TurboPad - You need one TurboPad, and I would highly recommend getting a extension cable or two for the TurboPad. ($4)
3. TG-16 CD System - Ok, now this is key piece of machinery here. You need one that is in good working cond. ($70)
4. TG-16 Docking Station - Again, this needs to be in good working cond. ($20)
5. Power Brick that powers both the TG-16 and the CD system via the docking station - Now this is a really key part of the equation. Try to get this when you buy your docking station, because these are very hard to track down seperately. There might be a AC Adapter at Fry's Electronics that can also work, but I would recommend getting the real Turbo one that goes with it. The model # for mine is HES-ACA-02. ($20)
6. Arcade Card Pro - Ok, I personally thing that the Arcade Card Pro is the way to go. With this special Hu Card, you can play CD games, Super CD games and Arcade CD games. Only problem is, you need to get your Turbo region modded to use it! ($40)
7. Region Mod - You absolutely need a region mod to be able to use the Arcade Card Pro. The guy that did mine doesn't do mods anymore. He retired. But I'm sure there are some guys on this forum that could do it. Like D-Lite. ($45)
8. RGB Mod - If you want to experience the true pure bliss, then you absolute need the RGB mod. The thing is, to play the CD games in RGB, you need to get your TG-16 modded for RGB on it's side, so that even when it's plugged into the docking station, you get RGB video out from it. Again, the guy that did mine retired from doing mods. So try a guy like D-Lite ($45)
9. RGB Monitor - If you are new to the world of RGB, I suggest getting your toes wet with a Commodore 1084S monitor. Sure it's a very small monitor, but the picture is freaking fantastic. Sometimes you can find these things at computer surplus stores or thrift stores. You can even find them on Ebay for decent prices. Just be sure to watch the shipping. ($40)
10. Stereo System - If you have the CD system, then you should really hook it up to a decent sound system. I have a super cheapo Sony receiver that I hook it up to, but I'm using Kef speakers, and it sounds freaking amazing.
11. Dracula X Backup - If you've got the dough to blow, then buy the real one and support the Ebay economy. If you aren't Bill Gates nephew, then just get the damn backup. ($ - You shouldn't have to pay any money for this)
Ok, you are all set. Now Enjoy!!!

THAT is a true gamer statement right there, folks. Do what it takes to play the games.
I fully support downloading of games as long as they are for dead systems, as only collectors have the resources to actually hunt down and shell out for titles like this.
I only wish I had a Turbo to play on. I may have to start looking around.

Disagree.
I don't care how you candy coat it, you're (meaning anyone involved with copied/burned commercially licensed games, not specifically anyone in this thread) a pirate.
It doesn't matter if your playing Night Trap, Radiant Silvergun, or Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
You can justify it with words like "gamer" or "enthusiast" but the fact remains that you didn't purchase the game you're playing.
Head to the local supermarket, tell them you're a HUGE fan of bread and ask if they'll let you "experience" the Whole-Grain Nut Wheat for free because it's more expensive than the Wonder Bread and you don't want to have to pay the premium. See how far you get.
But, inspite of all that, glad you got what you wanted Anthony1. I know you're passionate about the system and that, anyway, is a good thing.

Bread is nothing to Anthony1. He is like Jesus in that he can make the game come from one like the loaf and fish that fed many.

The peanut butter and jelly level is my favorite.
I do feel guilty though, since Wonder Bread IS ACTUALLY STILL IN PRODUCTION. :hmm:

It doesn't matter if it's in production or not. Dracula X is available on eBay at nearly any time for its respective price.
I know some people say it's a hardline approach, but it's my opinion. If your opinion is that playing copied games is ok, then you're entitled to it.
The bread analogy may not be completely applicable to video game piracy but the point remains: if you can't afford to own it then you shouldn't. Theft is theft.
Regardless, that's the last I'll say on this subject. Sorry to threadjack but I thought I'd reply counterpoint to Hardcore.

10-20-2005, 05:06 PM
Yeah, it's definitely piracy. No question about that. Of course, just like violent crime, there are many different levels of violent crime. Slapping somebody on the face is different than bloody murder. So there are different levels.
But I really don't want to get into a piracy conversation because we already have like 20 of those type of threads that people can search for. It's been debated a million times already, no need to spoil this thread.
This thread is all about the brilliance of the TurboGrafx Super CD's and Arcade CD's and regular CD's. There are just so many amazing games on this system in the CD format. Try to picture the Sega CD having the color of the Super Nintendo. That's kinda like what the Turbo Duo is like. You get the color of the Super Nintendo, the sound of the Sega CD, and the feel of "enhanced" 8 bit gaming. It's a pretty sweet combo.
In about 30 or so days, I'm going to get lost in the world of the XBOX 360, but I can tell you one thing. When I pause from that world to re-enter the realm of retrogaming, I'll most likely be holding a Turbo Pad in my hand. I'll most likely be looking at my 1084S monitor, and most likely hearing my Kef Q30 speakers.
Word Skippy.

Kinda like the other 20 million threads about warm chocolate puddin, and how freakin amazing the nes is in rgb. Then how you're selling all of your nes stuff, then how you're selling all of your videogame stuff. Then how you just bought a new system and it is videogame heaven in rgb, then how you sold that system. Then how you got ANOTHER system in warm chocolate pudding, and now THAT'S the most wonderful thing on the planet.

Well, you have a few things incorrect.
1. I don't have 20 million threads about warm chocolate pudding. More like about 20 posts!
2. I wish you could play the NES in rgb, but it's not really possible.
3. I did sell all my NES stuff, you did get that right. I decided to roll with emulation
4. I'm selling all my "current generation" video game stuff, not ALL my video game stuff. I'm not selling all my old school stuff, although I admit I've pondered it.
5. Well, the Turbo CD isn't a "new" system, but I guess it's a new system to me, and I did talk about it being amazing in RGB. You're right on that one I guess.
6. The only way I'm selling my Turbo CD setup, is if I quit retrogaming or quit videogaming altogether, and I don't see that happening in my lifetime.
7. Actually at this point, I got pretty much every system that outputs a native RGB signal, so I don't see myself doing a post like this anytime soon. Maybe when I finally get a Neo-Geo CD system.
8. If I did get a Neo-Geo CD system, I probably won't be thinking it's the most wonderfull thing on the planet. That would be the 360. At least until mid August 2006.

3. - yes.
4. - I thought you just said you sold a ton of your classic systems for emulation in this thread, and one about 4 months ago (give or take)

6. - I'm sure you said the about the NES or any other number of systems
7. - ha!
8. - you are in 51 posts concerning a system that has not even been released yet. It is COMPLETELY possible that besides graphics, the 360 could completely suck ass. But then, you are VERY Graphics/sound oriented as opposed to gameplay anyways.

1. Look, I've mentioned RGB in a ton of posts, but alot of times it's just a passing comment about it. In terms of posts that are specifically about RGB, I probably have about 25 total at the max.
4. I got rid of my NES for emulation and I sold a Sega Master System, but that was about it. Oh, I got rid of a Game Gear too, but you must know that originally I never owned a Master System or Game Gear. I basically roll with these systems: TG-16, Genesis, SNES, Atari Lynx, Sega CD, TurboDuo, Jaguar, 3DO, 32X, Saturn, Playstation, N64 and Dreamcast. I did sell all my current gen stuff. Well, everything buy my Cube. Anybody want a Cube and the original Metroid Prime (not a greatest hits) for $60?
5. Hey, when I discover something for the first time, it's exciting to me, and I want to share that with the rest of you nerds. I must admit that I have a problem with the Hippie Lettuce, and that can affect my hype for a certain game that I just played. Then later, when I'm sober, it might not be as incredible as I first thought, but it's still damn impressive and worth talking about.
6. The thing about the NES..... When I first had it, I wasn't a hardcore gamer at all. I was casual at best. I didn't really get into gaming until I got my TurboGrafx-16 in 1989. So I didn't have that bond with the NES. The emulation on the XBOX for the NES was pretty freaking awesome. Especially in 720p. So I was cool with that, I decided to roll with emulation. Alot of it also had to do with dealing with toasters. I got tired of dealing with the damn blowing of carts and the blinking lights, etc, etc. I got rid of the Master System and Game Gear, but I never owned those systems originally any damn ways.
7. I don't remember what this one was about.
8. Dude, don't talk smack about my 360. The 360 is my baby, bro. Don't talk about my baby. Get my baby out yo mouth! Seriously though, I'm hyped on the 360 big time, you got's a prob with that? I'm going to fall madly in love with it, and I'm going to be totally faithfull to it for about 9 months. Then I'm going to cheat on it with the PS3. Yep, August 2006 will be the month of the PS3 in the U.S. Then in December 2006, I'm going to have a one night stand with the Revolution. And then I'll return it the next day. :D

SHORT ANSWER
Very similar to the n64 expansion pak. You need the arcade pro to play certain games (like Saphire) but because the arcade pro is designed for the japanese duo you will need a converter (barney, etc...) if you have an american duo.

Look, here's the deal. If you are a collector and you want to pay $200 or whatever for Dracula X, then I can understand that. But for anybody else, it's pretty crazy to be paying that kind of dough to Ebay profiteers.
I personally have a $25 dollar limit on retro games. I don't buy games that cost more than $22. It's one of the reasons that I still don't have Aliens vs. Predator for the Jaguar. Luckily for the SNES, I was able to get the expensive carts at garage sales and flea markets and that one GameCrazy sale that they had. Otherwise, I would be missing alot of high dollar SNES carts.
ANYWAYS, WHY ARE YOU GUYS TAKING THIS THING OFF TOPIC? THIS TOPIC IS ALL ABOUT THE TURBODUO BEING THE BOMB. SO...... BACK ON TOPIC, please :/

So... you'll pay hundreds of dollars for systems that'll cost $20 in a few years and buy games for $50 that'll cost under $10 in 1 year, but, unless it's under $25, you won't pay the actual market value of a game that you could likely sell for the same amount years later if not more? o_O

Here's a novel idea. If you don't like Anthony1's posts, DON'T FUCKING READ THEM AND DON'T FUCKING POST ON THEM.
You hurt.

I have 40 gigs of mp3s on my harddrive & maybe a few roms here somewhere too. I don't think having a cd made of some rare game from a defunct system is that big of a deal. If I had to take a guess, I'd say no one here doing all this bitching is prefect.
Boatofcar's post above is great advice! Even if Anthony does have 200 posts on warm chocolate puddn

If I was really hardcore into piracy, then it would be a pretty dumb idea for me to be getting a XBOX 360 and a PS3 and a NR. It will be quite some time before people are playing copied games on those systems. I know that it's a given that eventually you will be able to play backups on those systems, but you won't be able to play those backups online, and the online experiences will be so compelling that not playing them online like they are meant to be would be foolish.
Plus, you might not be able to take any of those systems online period, if you happen to have some type of mod chip in it. I think that all 3 companies are very interested in making piracy a much harder task with the next 3 systems, and it might be a situation where piracy is possible, but not worth the effort, in terms of the cost and time involved.
So, if I was really into piracy, then it would be a dumb thing for me to be buying these new systems considering I'm going to have to "actually" buy my games for them! :eek 2:

It's a message board isn't it? He stated his opinion and I stated mine and then you stated yours. Thats what we do on message boards.
And on topic I do love my Turbo CD's & Hu-cards, unfortunately no Duo for me yet :(
