Transcript of the video: 

Hi there, Kris from Stone Age gamer here. Let's talk a little bit about the TurboGrafx16. It is a fantastic platform. The controllers have built in turbo functionality as a standard feature. Their games came on little cards instead of cartridges. It's great stuff. However, getting a crystal clear video signal out of the system because of its innate limitations can be a bit of a problem. Fortunately, things like this exist. This is the EDFX and this will allow you to use more standard Sega Genesis 2 style AV cables or component cables or whatever cables you like to connect your TurboGrafx-16 to your standard television. Let's take a look. 

[00:00:43] Okay, here is the EDFX up close and personal. This is the basic EDFX that you can buy here at Stone Age Gamer.com. And what this does is it plugs in the back of your TurboGrafx-16 through the expansion port in the back and it lets you use Sega Genesis 2 style TV connectors. So standard composite, you want to use the the fancy new retro frog composite cables you want to use in your HD Retrovision cables, whatever you got. The Sega Genesis 2 is going to connect to your television with a nice, crisp, crystal clear signal from your TurboGrafx-16 and it's pretty much it. There's not a lot to it as far as like what kind of steps are involved in connecting it. You take your TG16 here and move your little doodad from back here and you just kind of plug this sucker right into the multi pin connector. I'm not going to do that immediately just because these pins make me super nervous and I like to connect things to them as infrequently as possible. But I did want to show off another thing that we offer here at Stone Age Gamer, which is this shell from Humble Bazooka. Now, this shell here actually replaced this this little plastic bit here as a proper enclosed closure for the EDFX, and it looks pretty darn nice. 

[00:01:53] So all you have to do to attach it is you got to take off this plastic bit. So we're just going to undo these basic screws here. All right. So the next thing you want to do is once you get the plastic part off, you want to take out these big honkin metal bits here. So these unscrew by hand pretty easily. Okay. Once you've got those apart, all we're going to do is we're going to find the bottom bit here. Pretty obvious which one at the bottom. I'm just going to line this little sucker up here, which just kind of sit right down in there. The little notches here are going to line up with the holes already in the unit like. So look at that. And then we're just going to clip this filler on top like so we're going to squeeze that into place. And would you look at that? Come on. There you go. Look at that. That's a pretty nice looking little doodad there. Matches the TurboGrafx-16 and everything. And then we plug this into the back of the unit like so nice and careful as to not bend any of those pins because there's a lot of them. And once that's in there, nice and snug, you are good to go. So let's go see this sucker in action. 

[00:03:41] Okay, Here we have Pac-Land for TurboGrafx-16 up and running. It's down there on the corner. I don't want this ghost to get me here. And I'm using a Hyperkin controller. This has the EDFX is what we're using to connect the TV with HD Retrovision Sega Genesis 2 cables into the component input in my Sony Trinitron TV, and I just ran over that guy. But I just wanted to show you here the video quality is crystal clear. I don't know how well that's coming through in this particular image, but I will do a zoom in in a second to show you in a bit more detail. But there is absolutely nothing in terms of input lag. This is running like an absolute champ, except the fact that I'm terrible at Pac-Land and the controls are super weird. But there you go. That is the EDFX doing its thing on a TurboGrafx-16 component HD virtual vision cables. And let's take a little bit closer look at the screen showing. 

[00:04:39] The EDFX and its optional shell from Humble Bazooka are available now at stoneagegamer.com. So you can play your TurboGrafx-16 on your TV the way you want to, doggone it.
