PC Engine Converter

[mrmark0673]

I just bought a lot of games and systems from a local guy on craigslist. There was turbografx stuff in there, a system and a few loose hu-cards. There was also this:





It allows the TG-16 to play PC engine games. Any idea what it is worth? Thanks!

How much was the TG-16 Lot

Bastard Barney piece o crap!

It works, but is terribly unreliable. Most people recommend against using it.

You can prolly get like $20-$40 on eBay, maybe more if you find a sucker.

General consensus among Turbo/PCE enthusiasts is that it's totally worthless.

Actually, all the ones I've seen on eBay have gone for $100 or more.

Like kazuo said, most PC Engine>TG-16 converters are poorly made and overpriced. You'd be better off having your system region modded (which costs anywhere from $40-$55).

Well it depends on what's used for the region mod.

Thanks to the new pcb i only had to pay $38.00 to D-lite to region mod my,Coregrafx works like a charm too.

Indeed...even the junky PCE/TG-16 converters sell for $75-$100 nowadays.

Heh, that's what us oldschool PCE/Turbo heads call them.. cause theyr'e purple and crappy.

Yeah, even the crap converters sell for bank now it seems like... I sold off my Kisado not too long ago for $150 BIN... less than five minutes after I listed the auction!

Sucks too cause some of the Turbo guys told me I could have gotten way more for it if I didn't offer BIN option. Oh well, didn't realize it was worth so much.

Now if Dean would answer his emails so I could get my DUO-R modded... :/

I heard good things about the Kisado Converter. However, I have also heard it is cheaper to just have your system modded. Some of my hardcore Turbo friends said it was easier for them to have 2 systems. The Pc-engine duo and the US turbo grafx. Then again, they are all very rich.
