Just finished this. Somebody I know did it for me. When I got it back I had to troubleshoot it a bit but it’s pretty legit.. just need to get a back cover to hide the wires
I could not find these games in Toys R Us or at any other retailers at the time.
Seller on FB Marketplace has quite a few listings of pristine looking TG-16 games.
I still plan to replace all the capacitors on this system but I was able to revive it without doing that first. It was outputting a really awful signal over rf and the controller port needed to be cleaned but now we are outputting via s-video thanks to the turbonaza mod that replaces the rf modulator. It looks and sounds great! Very comparable to my rgb modded pc engine duo. Highly recommend this mod if you have experience and confidence with using a soldering iron. My install isn't perfect but after playing for a while tonight I can say it was a huge success. I love that this mod can be installed without cutting or damaging the shell and that it's also reversible, but who would want to go back to rf? This mod uses sega saturn style cables and it supports composite and component as well. Link to the github:
Sadly I don't have a DRAM cart for the Game Doctor, but it runs with a Everdrive so I'll probably just do that.

I know absolutely nothing about these. Don’t have the console. Saw some on eBay, but that’s the extent of my knowledge.Any information would be appreciated. I’ll try to post as many of the pics as I can.
A preventative full service on a NEC PC Engine SuperGrafx, the kind of thing worth doing before the original caps and regulator give you grief.
The work:
- Full recap with a Console5 CoreGrafx / CoreGrafx II cap kit (fits the SuperGrafx), plus a clean of a fairly dirty board
- New voltage regulator
- Jailbar fix: 0805 4.7uF 16V X7R MLCCs at C168 and C169, following the Console5 wiki
- A Krikzz EDFX on the Ext Bus port for clean RGB, composite and audio out (breaks out to a Mega Drive 2 style 9-pin connector, takes an MD2 RGB cable). I printed a mini-IFU styled shell to house it, designed by PointerFunction, so the adapter looks the part instead of dangling off the back
Gallery goes result first (R-Type on a PVM), then the dirty before board, the recapped board with the new regulator, the C168/C169 close-up, and the EDFX in its shell. Tested with a Turbo Everdrive v2.
Hello - first time posting here. My question is this - what version of the turbografx / pc engine console is the best? Money is not necessarily an issue and im looking to play this console on a crt tv if that matters. If this isn't the right subreddit to post in then im sorry. Thank you for any help you can give.
Hey all! I have a turbo express here, with world class baseball. It got a full recap, seemed to go very well. I played for a half hour or so with no issues. A week later i picked up a cheap keith courage, the system was on for maybe 20 minutes and the screen froze. Now im getting glitched graphics. They are consistent across several games, and the same glitch occurs on the same game every time. Nothing obvious on the board. Any thought?
Does anyone with Retron and system ever a card fail on one but not the other?
I posted a bit ago about coming across a treasure trove of games. I couldn't find anyone with system near me so I bought a used Retron. After the initial cursing and swearing, I got it working to try my games.
All but 3 loaded up (unfortunately including two I was really excited for). So my question is does anyone of.the Retron just has problems with some specific games vs another emulator or an actual system?
My heart says keep, especially if the three worked, but my brain says some of these games could sure help make a dent on paying off my kids braces.
Seems nobody has recorded Columns in Turbolink mode so I gave it a go. Apologies for shaky cam.

Hey PC Engine fans. ;
I've just finished recapping a Duo. A bit of leakage but nothing too bad.
However the Drive is still failing.
The disk spins, the lens move vertically. I hear Clic, Clic, Clic and it stops turning.
Video here : https://youtu.be/emHJylC1wUo?is=-OrAWcB\_B4fi-H5X
Am I good for a drive change or is there any chance I can fix it?
Thanks.
