In the future, chocolate is a health food...

That follows the same logic that chocolate is a vegetable!  LOL

No better time than the holidays to celibrate grief and loss. My family gave us goldfish for Christmas so we would learn those same fundimentals of life and death at a young age.

We need more Christmas movies about disfuctional families like A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, A Merry Friggin' Christmas or Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

Every year I ask Santa for one of these but no dice yet.

That looks very similar to what a NEC Turbo Booster is designed to do and $69 is a reasonably price for that technology. The fact that you've tested and approved it gives me confidence. If my TG-16 RF signal didn't look so sweet on the CRT it is hooked up to, I would buy a DB grafix booster in a heartbeat. 

Could do what I did with my TG-16. Wasn't the 'cheap' option no..but it was the easiest and gives me all the outputs I would need.
I bought a DB grafix booster from Castlemania to stick off the back of my TG-16 to provide me with RGB, s-video, and composite + audio.

I believe it could have once been owned by P.Diddy and be a collector's item.

Well thank you for that info.  The good news is that it takes about 30 seconds to undo and put the RF back, which is what I'll do.  That circuit looks easy enough to breadboard, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort. 

I didn't initially like the RF on TG-16 because it uses a screw-in adapter instead of just an RF cable, which required me to unscrew the adapter on my TV (it was a PITA for a lazy dude like me).  But I have an RF switchbox now, so it should be no issue.
 

I just discovered that some members of this forum are under the impression that you have to swap out the CX53 Trak-Ball in order to navigate the Atarimax menu. The Atarimax menu can be easily navigated without changing controllers by using the CX53 Trak-Ball keypad. Up is button 2 down is 8, right is 6 and left is 4. Find your game, hit start and voila! you are now playing without swapping controllers which isn't a great idea with the 5200 design. I once bricked a 2 port by swapping controllers.

I've had these model kits for years now and one day i will break out the glue and airbrush and build these babies.

Here's an oldy but a goody, the original NCC-1701.

I'll stick with my TurboGrafx maxi and everdrive.

I have a Sean Kelly Multi-cart myself but a couple of years ago I still managed to collect all the OEM games and overlays some CIB pretty inexpensively. Games were easy to find, overlays a bit harder. I imagine they cost a lot more now. There's nothing better looking than vector graphics to my eyes. There's a lot of great homebrews like Protector, Vector Blade and Vector Pilot and Vector Patrol out there as well. I keep thinking about getting a Vec-Multi flash cart.

I agree, the Jag controller is like a Volvo, it works well first time every time, the CX52 was exotic with it's analog design and is like an old Ferrari that need constant tuning and maintenance. Impractical by nature, but IMO more fun to own and drive.  

I bought my first TG-16 from Toys-R-Us when it was closing out in 1993 for $20 brand new. I always regretted that I sold it at a garage sale I had when I moved to Oregon in 1998. Finally after 23 years I have replaced it along with a TurboTap and 2 Turbosticks! I have an Everdrive Flash cart on it's way as well.
