Turbo EverDrive Pro review [4K] 

Gonna guess it has something to do with a bus conflict. Agree that the design of the Duo is sleek though. Love mine!

That is the penalty for having a CD rom unit with over priced games. Oh well at the end of the day at least you can say, I have original hardware!.. (Perhaps there might be a firmware update where you can play it on there hopefully) I wanted the TURBOGRAFX-16 because it just looks awesome.

Thank you for the constructive feedback, and I agree. Hoping to get the focus working better in the next video I do. Might just go with manual instead.

From what krikzz (the creator) has posted on twitter and in the Pro manual, a special piece of hardware needs to be used for stereo sound for CD games. I think I might have an AV booster and can try that in another video. I think krikzz also mentioned that save states won't be possible with CD games. I don't know if that'll change or not.

@@stpdufus Thanks for your repply. Have a great day!.

lol I don't have the Super HD System 3 to test, but from what I've read I think the functionality of loading HuCards/Turbo Chips, save states and cheats should work. I don't believe CD loading from the Turbo EverDrive Pro would work though. At that point though I'd say it's probably cheaper to get a MiSTer instead ^^

It occurred in other games I tried, like Cosmic Fantasy 2 and Valis III. If I get some time I might try to put together a video showing the issue in these games and some others. Unless I looked in the wrong place, the official site for No Intro shows the group only handles cartridges for PCE/TG16, not CD games.

@@stpdufus Sorry, I meant Redump

@@MattMan890 Another commenter on here suggested swapping SD cards.... and that fixed the issue. Wish I had thought of that sooner. So the audio sync issues are gone now on my end =)

@@stpdufus Which brands did you swap to and from?

Thanks! I really should've thought of trying a different card >< Swapped to a different one and the audio sync issues in CD games I experienced are gone. Both cards gave almost the exact same readings under diagnostics.

@@stpdufus that's awesome that the issue is gone!👍

What card are you using? I'm not getting any CD audio at all. I can't figure it out. Very strange...

The Spark Plug is the name of a product. It uses a Mega Drive 2/Genesis model 2 style output to get RGB and stereo audio. Search for "Spark Plug PC Engine" and you should be able to find it. But note that the current model isn't designed to support CD audio for the Turbo Everdrive Pro. Not sure, but maybe future revisions will be designed to work with the TED Pro. You'd have to contact one of the sellers to find out. The TG16, PC Engine (and Core Grafx and Super Grafx.. maybe the Shuttle, not sure) can output stereo CD audio using the expansion pins in the back. But you'll need something like the spark plug or some other adapter that can tap into those signals. Krikzz has said he has a product in development that'll do RGB video and stereo audio, but it has no release date yet.

@@stpdufus Thanks for the reply. Were people expecting some type of 3.5mm headphone jack on the Turbo ED Plus? I have had an RGB/Component plugin expansion card on the back of my TG16 for a long time now. So that should suffice. I think the part that is confusing me is the CD audio not being in stereo. And then that he is releasing another TED Plus to fix that?? Why not just fix, then release a single product? It seems like he might be rushing it out a bit, but I don't know enough about it to say for sure. It might also be fitting to see a Super GrafX FPGA core for it someday, so that it will support all of the GrafX games on a single flashcart. I know it's only four SGX games (I think, but as one of them is the best home port of Ghouls N Ghosts, it would be nice!)

Hoping to post a new video soon, but the CD audio sync issues were fixed by swapping to a different SD card, and arcade game graphic corruption appears to be fixed with a firmware upgrade I did. That said, the Super HD will definitely give better video output with HDMI and the composite video palette. And stereo audio is built in with the Super HD.

@@stpdufus Stereo audio is an easy mod on the PCE, CoreGrafx & CoreGrax II. Alternatively, there's plug-in devices like the TurboBooster or Spark Plug, which will output stereo audio from the console BUS.

@@stpdufuswhat microSD card are you using? I have a Kingston Canvas Select and have audio sync issues.

It has SuperGrafx support, but only on a SuperGrafx system. They won't play on standard PCE hardware. I believe cheats work for CD games, but I didn't try those myself. The ED menu does have the option for them (can be seen at 4:20 in this video).

From the manual: Supported bin+cue, cue+wav and multi-bin images. Sometimes bin images can be stored as img or iso, they can be played without renaming.

@@stpdufus fat32 ?

The theme tool, along with the files used to create some sample themes to look at, are on Krikzz's site: krikzz.com/pub/support/turbo-everdrive/pro-series/turbotheme/

It looks the same, but it's a different firmware/OS file than what the original TED uses and offers more features.

@@stpdufus cool , i did not see a download for it on the site so i was wandering if you had to use the old version

@@stpdufus would be a good video to make showing how to set up the Everdrive pro :)

Yeah, had several others point that out. Will try to avoid that in the next video whenever that is =)
