I am giving my duo to my cousin (he and I got TG16's new when we were 15 years old) 

He has a turbo tap, 5 controls, all that stuff. 

Is there an adapter available that allows the larger TG16 contollers to plug the smaller duo/pc-engine port?

I am upgrading to a Duo-R/RX or super grafx + cdrom-2.  I have disposable income, my cousin does not & has wanted a duo for years.  So I figure cheaper option since he does the multiplayer games is to allow him use of all his older turbo grafx controls + tap.

I really appreciate the feedback!!!!!!!!!!

Don't listen to tats; the martinis must be getting to him.  :lol:

They did indeed make an official adapter for using TG-16 controllers on Duos/PCEs (Part No. HES-DIN-01), though they don't show up too terribly often.  As an alternative, your cousin could swap the cable on his TurboTap for one from a donor (donair?) Duo controller (clicky).

That adapter allows you to use a TG-16 pad or Turbo Tap on a Duo system. It does not allow you to use a Duo Pad on a Turbo Grafx System which is what it sounds like you are looking for. The only adapters capable of that are custom mods or Reverse Taps.

I just re-read the post.  #-o That adapter will work for what you are looking for.

the adapter works with the turbo tab.  You won't need 5 duo pads, normal turbo pads will do.

No, don't be fooled by sneaky Americans. This is actually a mini-DIN to cigarette lighter adapter:

Apparently, this product is rather dangerous (burnt fingertips, charred HuCards, etc.)

HAHAHAHAHA

Sooooooo I just went into the attic where I had a box of old video game stuff... along with a dead atari lynx, a 2600, and random stuff...

I ALREADY HAD ONE OF THESE TURBO GRAFX TO DUO CONTOL ADAPTERS THAT I STARTED THIS THREAD FOR!!!

Back in 1997, when I ordered my Duo from TZD, I ordered extra accessories (to include an extra set of duo cables, ect....) I kept thinking... if this existed, I maybe ordered it & so yes... I have one!  funny.

I also found a Diving board PC-engine to turbo converter?  Wonder if it still works?  It wont fit in my Duo?

Ceti Alpha

hahaha. Nice! I forget whether the diving board converter works on the Duo.  :-k

Diving board definitely fits in the duo. For some reason, my diving board isn't compatible with my duo; my diving board doesn't have that yellow wire I've seen on others though, I think that is why.
