Turbografx problem!

I got this 'ere turbografx 16 off dark_andy, thing is I can't get the ol' console to fire oop onto ma telly!

Translation:

FUCK! I just got a turbografx, was all ready to play it when the bloody thing won't display a signal on my tv, I'm using rf so I guess NTSC rf won't work on PAL rf, in which case I need a scart/av cable, where can I get one? thanks guys

Pm D-lite , he knows all things turbo.

bunch of things to say

-every TV in Europe will never be compatible with NTSC console via an RF cable

-if you use a composite AV cable, you will be able to receive a color signal ONLY if your TV is multistandard

-if you have a crappy old TV, you need to modify your PCE to get an RGB signal
2 kinds of convo:

a) partial, where an RGB cable is directly connected into the console to the board
b) complete, where you'll able to take cable off the console

as far as I know, this bloke is very professional and cheap
send him an e-mail via ebay asking it

I know the color issues from my neo geo, I really just need any method to get the fig show SOME picture on my tv. Thanks for the info it's very useful. So this ebay guy is the person to get the av from right?

Get a composite/av cable is your best bet, someone around here is bound to have one.

If your tv is newish it should be fine, if its a SONY from after 1980 is will work too.

Most TV's nowadays should display an NTSC signal through RF(my TV is a 2 year old 28" widescreen and it plays ANYTHING through RF.......and it was only £240 hehehehe).

You need an RGB conversion so you can get the best out of your TG-16.The easiest thing is to just have it hardwired.If you can get hold of a PAL saturn RGB lead I can take a pic of how my PCE is hardwired and you can do the conversion yourself.

The only other thing is that you can only play US games on your TG-16,to play jap games on it you need a converter from Telegames and you can play any jap game on it.

Today I tripped over my tg16 controller cable... not only did I nearly break my back but the controller made a clean rip between connector and pin ends... grr... I'm starting to hate this console even thou I've never played it...

Anyway I do infact have a saturn scart lead lying around (I presume RGB), but I don't have that werid screw that the tg16 needs to be opened (like the one used on nintendo products), I was wondering soopafamicom would you be able to do this mod for me? I mean I'd pay you of course but the way things are looking I don't want to fuck this thing up more than I have already

edit - while on the subject anyone want to sell me a used pad for tg16?
