TurboExpress fix? (Bad region mod?)

I’ve got a TurboExpress with the button hold region mod (as well as an LCD upgrade). Recently, it stopped reading game cards (I just get solid color or black screens mostly), which I’ve heard is a frequent problem related to the region mod and that the region mod should be removed. Anyone up for the...

Re: Component issues persisting on two systems...

Thanks for the reply, composite cables seem to work fine. I unpacked a DUO R that's having the same problem. I'm almost thinking these are SCART RGB modded and not component modded. Would that look like the screen shot with a component cable with the similar pin out? Sorry about the vagueness, it's ...

Component issues persisting on two systems...

So I've had some trouble with two component modded systems. After having some time to finally really sit down and thoroughly check out what's going on, I'm figuring out that the cables, which I thought were the initial culprit, I believe are okay. Looks like it might be the modded systems themselves...

Re: Component cable mod for TurboGrafx / PC Engine?

The Engine Block looks like a good solution, but I play a lot of CD based games so using up the extension port would be a deal breaker for me. Unfortunately I've discovered even more going on here with this cable. As it turns out Turbokon didn't do the mod on this specific unit - he did two others I...

Re: Component cable mod for TurboGrafx / PC Engine?

Thanks guys for all the responses. It’s the cable. I have another custom cable and it works fine. That was the first thing I checked. But that’s definitely a mistake I’ve made before! Wasn’t sure about the Retrovision HD cable. I’ll do some digging around to verify but that would be an easy solution...

Component cable mod for TurboGrafx / PC Engine?

Years ago I had Turbokon over at PCEngineFX.com do some component video mods on a couple of systems. These mods used the existing 8-pin port for video out and special component cables to get the higher quality video output to the TV. They've worked amazing so far - except that recently I notice that...

Have you tried talking to bacteria? He's not cheap but he does great work and does commissions. This would likely be something he could do. His thread is here... http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=50421&view=unread#unread Hey thanks! I'll hit him up. I don't mind paying for...

Re: Best portable NES in 2016??

The custom made HandyNES type systems are incredible and ideally would be what I would like to pick up, but I haven't found anyone legit who could tackle a project like this. I would be all for commissioning a project like this if anyone knows someone. LovableChevy and even the Ben Heck forums seem ...

Best portable NES in 2016??

About 6 years back I picked up an FC Mobile II and found it to be the best non-emulator based portable NES, even though it was far from perfect. Now I'm seeking something better, more polished, with better screen/audio and with higher game compatibility, ideally with the ability to play from an ever...
