This maybe in the wrong area, but I am in need of accessories for this thing. I need a power supply, av cables, and a controller. If somebody would provide some links for the aforementioned or have any of they are looking to part with let me know. :)

You got yourself a US Duo? Missing the power supply, A/V and a controller? How much did it run you?

For the controller you have a few options.
You can try and find a US TurboDuo controller (good luck!)
order a PCEngine controller since its exactly the same thing. (Any version will work)

I was hoping you would save my butt on this.
The unit ran me about $50. The family I bought it off of said it worked when they stored it but couldn't find the rest of it, or the games for that matter. So I got it "as is" after some haggling
I'm not particular about the region of the accessories as long as they work. I picked it up thinking that my TG-16 would work. When I got home, well surprise. :D
-
$50! Thats a hell of a deal even with none of the accessories. Where did you find the family?
if you don't mind minor soldering you can make your own A/V cable

There was a benefit of sorts in Montier. They held an indoor yard sale and baked goods. I was visiting my parents and caught sight of it. I'm not even sure if it works lol. I'm just going by what I was told.

Well even if it doesn't work its still a deal. Fixing Duo's isn't terribly hard or expensive.
