Analogue makes a digital analog converter (DAC) for their systems

I have never owned PC engine or Turbo Graphx hardware until recently. I bought the Turbo Mini off Amazon when they were available. I absolutely love it. Then I wanted to play more of the library. I imported a PC Engine Core Graphx 2 from Japan. I also bought the Everdrive. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I had a lot of fun discovering what I missed out on in the '90s. Very cool console.

I can't wait until mine comes in. I still have some of my original Turbografx games from when i bought them as a kid brand new.

I pre-ordered an Analog Duo. I actually have a stack of Turbo and PC Engine cards. I plan on picking up some repros on CD, they are actually reasonably priced.

I have an original US TurboDuo (as well as the OG TG) that has had its caps replaced (twice) and with several mods. I have a fair collection of games and will continue to buy games, albeit at a slower pace given the prices of some games. That said, I still pre-ordered two Analogue Duos - a black and a white. Surely overkill, but I honestly don't trust my old hardware. These are all-in-one units that will help preserve my TG/PCE collection. It's awesome that there are so many options out there for peoples' various needs and wants.

Great video! I’m very new to the PC Engine/Turbo Grafx. Didn’t know anyone who had it growing up and didn’t really discover it until I was an adult. I appreciate you put the names of the game’s featured as I might check them out on my mister! Thanks!

I haven't used my PC Engine since getting a MiSTer. I don't miss handling discs / cards, and love using any controllers I wish. The Analogue Duo seems nice, but I have no desire to game on a digital TV.

Good video. 1. I read through the comments and I see you are now aware of the DAC's existence. I agree it is a costly addition but those who are likely getting this already have a SuperNT and MegaSG. And if that is the case they probably already have a DAC. Also for a device that has an FPGa console + an optical CD drive I believe the price is reasonable, considering the MegaSG snd Super NT sold for $200. 2. jailbreaks for the MegaSG, SuperNT and Pocket are available and it's pretty much a known "secret" that these jailbreaks almost certainly originate internally, but get posted anonymously for obvious legal reasons. I would bet money a jailbreak arrives within the first 90 days of the duo being delivered. There is no need to wait for Turbo Ever Drive test. Plus, the PC Engine never used special chips like the SNES or Genesis. Only the addition of system RAM. So, in theory... all ROMs and ISOs should work without the need of an additional hardware device. 3. I don't believe the duo will support Open FPG. The pocket has two FPGs (Altera Cyclone V & Altera Cyclone 10) The duo will likely ship with the same Altera Cyclone V as the SuperNT. There is no reason for the duo to have more power than the SuperNT. With that said, I don't believe it will have the hardware required to support OpenFPGA. 4. I won't fence with you on the legality of emulation or abandonware. We all know what we are doing and you can justify it to yourself however you see fit. I do own a Core Grafx + SHDS3Pro (I still have a SSDS3 as well) And I love the compact size + mega library of games it gives access too. I do wish composite was an option for SGX. That would have made it perfect. but I don't think the Duo is a product without a market.

I have a couple original NEC TurboDuo consoles I bought back in ‘93 that I had professionally recapped a few years ago. They work perfectly but I preordered Analogue Duo to reduce wear. I have all of Analogue’s consoles dating back to their NeoGeo CMVS Slim and they’re excellently engineered consoles that work well but none of them look better than any of my original hardware on CRT’s. Recently got the DAC so I’m looking forward to using it with Analogue consoles on a CRT to see how they compare to my original consoles

The Analogue Duo should've been a really exciting release, but the PCE secondary market is frankly impenetrable. I still pre-ordered one to complete the Analogue 16-bit trilogy and because I doubt there's enough interest for it to get a second production run. But yeah, my SSDS3 makes it entirely redundant and I'll probably never have a PCE library large enough to make it anything more than a novelty. A really cool device that's too late to get the love it probably deserves.

Nice comparison! As a complete TurboPCEngine junkie I need to have all of it though. :D I have a SuperGrafx with HD System Pro, MiSTer FPGA, Analogue Pocket, and still want the Analogue Duo (and a Turbo Express / PC Engine GT with new display). Working on the latter now. Just looking for the right price for one in need of repair, as I also enjoy that aspect.

The Super SD System 3 can also play the SuperGrafx games as well using either the hard-to-find Super HuCards or the Everdrive...

Nice Video! I pre ordered the Duo even if I already have the 3 PRO... I just want to see how good the HD output is. Also, How would it look converted to analog via component... The higher energy system!!! Orange = ENERGY! Have a nice day :)

In case anyone from the UK wonders how much the analogue duo costs. £320 or 400 dollars. 329 dollars for analogue Inc shipping and another £59 for import taxes. Takes you up to 400 dollars

Taco Bell actually doesn't sell tacos. Like real mexican tacos

I had several graphical problems with the system 3 pro when using a sega cable to my CRT. The biggest were audio issues and missing sprites on the supergrafx games. The thing was seemingly made with HDMI in mind and the analog port was an afterthought.

I've preordered. I've never owned a NEC console before. My local retro shop had a turbografx 16 for sale recently, but I didn't really want to deal with old hardware. If the console gets hacked, it gets hacked. If not, I'll just bite the bullet and get an everdrive. Now I just need to get some games...

A Core Grafx mini 2/TG16 2 would be great in my opinion. With games missed off the first one, such as Legendary Axe, Gates of Thunder, Magical chase etc. I would buy it. Not as good is your set-up though obviously. 👍

But analogue’s website says everdrives will work and we have a pro one to play the cd games

To be fair Konami has been giving us good collections lately.

Get a scanline generator and you can have it look alnost as good on a HDTV, also give it time and it will be jailbroken

Good 😄🇧🇷

Analog Duo wins.

I have this 20-inch Sylvania DVD VCR combo, and I have to say that my Genesis model 2 looks better on my 4k flat panel than this CRT, the new 4K TV does include some dead pixels on the edges but also I have played Genesis games that the where parts are cut off on the CRT. The CRT has better latency, but if you want to get really good image quality on a CRT you're going to have to find a higher-end one and those aren't cheap either.

MiSTer FPGA has analog output, just sayin

Dude, that's a super HD system 3 pro, not a super SD system 3

It's not piracy when you're playing on a dead platform

Ah so you don't pirate any of the games that are on the Turbografx mini.
