Hi,
Its almost a no brainer if you want to stick with original games over the ever drive, for the sheer library you should go for the GT.
Judging also by your avatar, you are a Splatterhouse fan and I think the US version is slightly edited.
You can get a convertor that will allow you to run Jpn Hu Cards on the express, but these are are costly ( £70+) and will stick out the top a bit. On the flip side, I have not seen a convertor that allows you to play Turbochip games on a Jpn unit.
Both units will run from an adapter (7.5V should be fine), a cheap masterplug one from Argos will suffice.
£85 is bargainous for a unit, well done to the user who grabbed that.
Play one first before you jump in, the screen was great for the time, but if you own a modern handheld you might not like it.
Oh and there is a cool Turbo Express cameo in the film Enemy of the State
I got a TE for £90 and it has been recapped, iam only going to start with a few games and see if I like it...splatterhouse, mr heli, ninja spirits are first on my list....any other suggestions for must have games..
iam also going to keep and eye out for a power supply.
when running it from battery power how long will it last?
couple of hours tops on batteries from memory, though I might be getting that confused with the game gear, it might actually be less
cheers, sounds like I need to stock up on the batteries ill get a power supply for home use but I like to take them on holiday to pass the travel time
Yeah bring a crap load of them. I tested mine and it lasted about 2.5hours tops if that lol. I didn't have much money so I opted and got a turbo everdrive best thing for when you travel a lot.
No kidding. The weight of the batteries needed to play it for a day is probably more than that of the handheld.

- Devil's Crush which is an awesome, slightly satanic pinball game, with (sort of) boss fights.
Hahahah exactly. Idk why but this thread got me wanting to play my te again so I dusted it off shoved 6double A batteries in it and remembered why I got it in the first place amazing library lol.
A question for those a little more tech savvy than I, is this ac adapter usuable for a TE?

this one claims to be for the TE, but I was wondering is there a UK equivalent version, I might just get the one linked below

Congrats if you need a turbo everdrive try here.okay I think we have a winner, this one will do nicely, cheers for the links
I got my TE the other day, pretty big and heavy with the batteries in but feels and looks good, no games yet , but they are on the way hopefully here soon.
