Hi all
I had a TurboGrafx-16 when i was a kid around 1992ish and im looking to get another one now im nearly 40. i have no idea where the old one went ?
Is there things i should be looking at when buying is there a particular model i should buy
i would like to mod it as i have with most of my retro gaming consoles ie install a hdmi port or rgb if its possible ?
What are the best options for each version ?
Thanks for the help

There will be a mini arriving in March 2020 but you can only pre order/buy it from amazon.jp direct from Konami right now.
you can buy a Japanese model preferably Core Grafx have that modded and maybe look into buying an Super SD system 3 attachment that will allow you to put all CD and card games on SD memory.
If you go the DUO might need to get it recapped.
If you don't want region modding you can maybe also look into getting an Everdrive where you can put all region games onto a micro SD
but you got a lot of other choices too which only you can decide ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also yes, you can RGB and region mod a duo. Your best bet all around would be a recapped, RGB and region modded duo (which means it can play US and JP hucards, CDs are region free), and then you can play everything while looking at a nice screen (assuming you're using a CRT)

Import a pce-duo,duo-r or rx and call it a day and yes it can be modded for rbg.Also if you import a pce-duo have it recapped asap,since there capacitors are prone to leaking and ruining the pcb.The other option wait for the release of the turbografx mini which comes out in march of 2020.Sure the TG16 mini will be emulation but it's being handle by M2 and they there know stuff.Still the catch of course the TG16 mini can only bought through amazon.
