Jason from Game-Tech has a video that shows a cool trick to make the cap replacement easier: Īlmost all TG-16 / PC Engine systems suffer from “jailbars” Vertical lines of interference running down the screen. It’s strongly recommended that you do a full cap replacement on all Duo consoles, as even if it’s still working, leaking caps could be slowly damaging your motherboard! Unless you’ve done something like this before, I strongly recommend having one of the above modding services do it for you, as it’s easy to damage your console.
It can be installed in any version of the console and amplifies both video and audio.Īlmost all of the “Duo” consoles suffer from failing capacitors. It also has a built-in sync stripper and options for TTL and 75ohm csync.ĪV Driver: Tim Worthington (creator of the NES, N RGB mods) designed this amp with the PC Engine in mind. Voultar’s THS7374-based board This is a great TG-16 / PCE amp that sends RGBs through the high-quality THS7374 amplifier that’s had the filter turned off for the sharpest possible output. Here’s a few options for internal RGB mods: Alternatively, you can buy a pre-modded Duo, but MAKE SURE it’s a reputable seller!!! I’ve received many emails from people who purchased pre-modded Duo’s that work poorly, or not at all!!! You can do this mod yourself, or have a modding service do it for you. The Turbo Duo and PC Engine Duo consoles don’t have a rear expansion port, so the only way to get an RGB output is with a modification. This is a solution that allows RGB output, as well as HUCard and CD rom/iso support! Earlier versions of the SSDS3 have audio and video issues that can be fixed, however all versions shipping for more than a year have been good quality.
As an FYI, I’ve never personally tested this solution: fidde_se’s RGB Cable This is the solution I recommend for all TG-16 / PCE consoles that don’t use any other peripherals on the rear expansion port: įidde_se’s RGB Cable : There’s also an eBay seller that makes a more basic RGB solution A standard SCART connector on one end and a connection into the back of the TG-16 on the other. It’s compatible with all Genesis 2 cables and is based off the Sega Triple Bypass’ circuit: ĭb-Electronics grafx booster: db Electronics now offers a product that attaches to the “Turbo Booster” port in the rear of the unit, allowing for RGB output via a Genesis 2 RGB Cable (but MAKE SURE the cable includes the correct components!!!), as well as stereo audio, composite and S-Video. Spark Plug: This is a basic adapter that’s compatible with all console regions that outputs composite video, stereo audio and RGB via a Genesis 2-style DIN. TG-16 / PC Engine External RGB Solution (no modding required)
All versions of the TG-16 / PC Engine can output RGB, some with an adapter and others with an internal modification.
