I recently purchased TurboGrafx PAL, however, only console. Now I am collecting accessories. The power supply will be from Mega Drive, but with other things you need to think. I have a PC Engine whose gamepads are not suitable for TG, Ebay has an gamepad-adapter that sort of solves this problem- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pc-Engine-to-US-Turbo-Grafx-console-game-pad-Adapter-cable-Brand-New-/112354526400?hash=item1a28da04c0:g:i1QAAOSwo6lWK85d
Question №1: Who has experience using such an adapter - everything works fine? Avenue Pad 6 will work through it adequately? Or TurboStick from PCE?
There is also a problem with finding a cable for AV Out.
Question №2: This cable will work from Mega Drive - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cable-AV-Sega-Megadrive-1-MasterSystem-1-Nuevo-RCA-1-5m-/231618601284?hash=item35ed8b6144:g:CKgAAOSwcwhVKV3M

The controller adapters should work without any issues.

I have no idea what kind of AV cable would work for that kind of port. I've never seen a console with an AV jack like that. Someone must have changed it at one point in time. The cable in the ebay link you posted will definitely not work with that port. Hopefully someone else can chime in with what kind of cable could be used with that.

You might need to have someone make you a custom AV cable or possibly have the port changed to the correct kind.

The controller adapter should work fine with any controller, but it may not work with a Tap.

As for the AV cable, that's normal for a PAL TG; they used a 5 pin DIN with a 60 degree spread instead of the usual 45 degree spread found in other PCE and Genny hardware.  You'll need to find an original or have one custom made like Keith suggested.

P.S. - That thing sure is scroungy looking.  I hope ya give her a good scrubbin'.  :mrgreen:

Console was lying in the attic for 15 years, until I bought it for 36 dollars. Coming soon by mail. In the kit there were three games: Splatterhouse, Ninja Spirit & Pac-Land.

I've bought from this guy before. He's good & reliable. Seems like his prices have gone out of whack though. I bought a turbo from him for £60 something pound couple years ago, now charges £140. That's some inflation.
