Do you have to have a Turbo Booster to use AV on a TG-16??..

By Turbo Booster, I mean this:

Is there any other way to get AV output from a Turbo Grafx 16? And if not, how do most of the games look in RF?

As far as I know, yes. I have a turbo booster on mine. Of course, I have seen mods, too.

I think the CD attachment has A/V out, just like the booster.

There's a noticeable improvement from the composite video and stereo sound. I wouldn't say the TG16's RF output is any worse than the Genesis's ugly composite output, though.

So without AV, TG-16 games look no better then Genesis games?

Yup, RF and composite suck ass, no matter what console it's on. Still, from my own experience, my Duo's composite looked a lot better than my Genesis'.

What you really need to do is buy yourself a small Commodore monitor (they're cheap), and get your Engine, TG16, Duo, whatever you have, modded for RGB. When Matt was around, he'd do it for $35, which is a hell of a deal, considering he builds a custom RGB amplifier, made from video chips you can only buy in Japan. The result is spectacular.
