Turn your Turbo Grafx16 into a PC Engine with a language switch

I found this website and decided to try putting a language switch on my Turbo Grafx16. I'll let you all know if it works if I can find an 8-pole-double-throw-switch (8pdts). Or if anyone knows where I can find one? :D

Anyway, here's the site with instructions... http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]

And the parent site with extra info and some pictures... http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/

Please post if this was helpful to anyone.. :cool:

I too found that tutorial and fancied giving it a go. Stripped the machine down bought some suitable ribbon cable etc etc and then........spent a bloody age trying to fine an 8 pole switch. Tried Maplin, Farnells and a couple of other places to no avail. Found a couple of places in the states selling them but they'd only sell them in lots of 50 !!!, don't suppose you want 49 do you :) !!.

maybe you could use 4 two poles switches ?
