But with the TG modded for RGB/component, can the CD games play the same way as the TG with RGB display? Someone told me that the cd audio quality will not be present because it exits one way, whatever that means. So what he told me is I have to drill a hole on the TG for a 3.5mm audio jack, then connect the red and white audio cable to the back of the cd unit to have that cd audio quality. Can you confirm this?

The European PAL TurboGrafx non-16 does not have an RF output. It has a 240-degree DIN5 multi-out. I should know because I documented the pinout publicly and made my own AV cable. The “accessory pack” included AV cables and an RF modulator. This was likely so that they could make a different accessory pack for different regions.

It was the added purchase of the Turbo Tap for multiplayer & Turbo Booster for AV that put the purchase price of the TurboGrafx-16 well above the price of the Sega Genesis which led me to purchase that Sega Genesis over the TurboGrafx-16 back in 1990 I think it was. I’d eventually buy the TG-16 and enjoy it (along with frustrations) during the 16Bit generation

The Hyperkin and LevelHike HDMI cables DO source RGB, but they do it with a scaler that doesn’t properly handle 240p. In other words, they don’t properly support the native resolution of the only console they fit! That’s pretty bad. The problem with Hyperkin’s Composite adapter is that it literally just taps the pins on the back with none of the electronics required to isolate them. They don’t properly attenuate the video or amplify the audio like a TurboBooster or TurboBooster Plus would.

Missed one: The UperGrafx. I have the UperGrafx UGX-02 myself and it gives me DVI/HDMI and lets me play games from the SD card. It’s been around a lot longer than the new Super HD System³ Pro, which finally does the same thing so it’s weird seeing it be the only mention. That said, the Super HD System³ Pro does appear to be better in every way. ;) Until now, UperGrafx was the only attachment for upgraded video output with the proper YUV composite colors (RGB output uses a different color table) and it was also the only one with flawless digital to digital lossless video (RGB or YUV)… no analog conversion.

This may sound like a silly request, but do you reckon you could compare the PC Engine Duo's composite output with the composite on the regular PC Engine? As I said in my previous comment, I'm rather impressed with the video quality of a stock PC Engine Duo's composite signal. I don't think the composite signal you showed at 11:00 is a fair representation of what all versions of the consoles can do.

It's great to have options. It really depends on what kind of TV you use as to which option is best and or preferred. I use a CRT TV and even though I can install Component video for these systems, I still like S-video more. Could be due to nostalgia but when I use RGB or Component(strong colors), it makes me feel like I'm playing on an emulator. Where as S-video sharpens the picture a lot but still retains the Composite color scheme which I personally like more. S-video is also a cheap internal mod for people to do. I charge just $29. So it's also a budget option. Thanks again for the plugging my work :)

I have a Turbo Duo that's being recapped. The RGB mod (if I get it) cable is my main problem. The back of my TV has composite, component, and HDMI inputs. No SCART. I would need an adapter (SCART to composite, component, or HDMI) that, based on reviews I've seen, all indicate lag of some sort. Does a single cable exist, or can be made, with a male 8-pin DIN connector to either a male composite, component, or HDMI connection? Is it really that complicated?
