Bodyshots Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Looking to begin a collection for the Tomy Tutor! Does someone have a nice clean looking console to sell me? (USA model) Don't know much about it other then I only just discovered it and kind of like it! I see a couple of you on here have games to sell but they aren't good to play without the console If anyone has a lead or two please don't hesitate to take my $ I prefer regulars on here as opposed to 'no posters' and recent joins Boxed or loose is fine! Was a multicart ever made? Edited January 11, 2016 by Bodyshots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 No Tomy multicarts were made (yet). I've got some experimental stuff that I'm working on off and on that may make a Tomy multicart possible though. I don't have a spare system (but I do have a mostly complete collection of the US and Japanese issues for the Tutor (and the Pyuuta, Pyuuta Mk II, and the Pyuuta Jr. sold in Japan). About the only thing I'm still missing is the BASIC1 cartridge for the Pyuuta MkII and a bunch of the Japanese cassette programs. It is an interesting system, even if not a lot was ever made for it. 26 Japanese cartridges, 10 US cartridges (9 of which are the same as some of the Japanese issues), and about a dozen cassette tape programs (Japanese). There was also a book of Tutor programs sold in the US, but finding that one is unbelievably difficult. . .I'm still looking for one.

Bodyshots Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'd like a boxed copy of Tron for the Japan System right away - also a boxed Copy of Hyperspace asap Anyone have have those boxed copies for sale? Name your price but please be somewhat reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 There is a loose tron cart on ebay. That very rarely comes up....you will have a hard time finding a boxed 1 imho. Good luck, it is a really neat, unique system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It took me several years of hunting to find a boxed copy of Tron. They are not cheap (even in Japan, they seem to go for $100 or more. . .). Oddly enough, two or three of them were sold there (on Yahoo! Japan) in the last few months as parts of larger lots (the last one actually ended this mornng). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 This belongs in the wanted forum. I know I'd get more help if I posted my wants here, but there is a reason we have that forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColorComputerStore Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Old thread but in case someone is looking for a Tomy Tutor, I have working and clean one for sale along with two games... http://www.ebay.com/itm/263103932830 The Tutor is a cousin and distant cousin of the TI99/4A and MSX, respectfully.

Bodyshots Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Im good! I know have both North American and Japan consoles! Thanks to those that helped point me in the right direction for boxed games too. It has been helpful as I acquired what I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter83 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I picked one up cib shipped for 200 not long ago. Thing seems mint but finding games for it seems to be a lost cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColorComputerStore Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Scooter83, I have two games for it.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/263103887498 http://www.ebay.com/itm/263103896439 Machine... http://www.ebay.com/itm/263103932830 The games from Japan are often sold $100. No fun! There are Japanese magazines with type in games as an option. Think TI type in games wouldn't be hard to convert either. I was thinking.... if I were to keep the machine, I would work on an adapter to allow it to play TI and MSX games. Also make an adapter to use Genesis joysticks.

Also make an adapter to use Genesis joysticks. Cheers Carlos Pretty sure that's impractical due to the hardware differences, especially with MSX stuff. It's relatively straightforward to port between ColecoVision/MSX/Memotech MTX/SG-1000/etc. because they all use the same microprocessor and graphics/sound, but it's a whole different situation with what's inside the TI and Tutor. At best, you'd essentially be creating stand-alone TI and MSX 1 boxes that pass AV through to the Tutor and maybe make use of its keyboard and controller ports with the right conversion. Again, impractical and unecessary. Making an adapter for Genesis controllers is a great idea, however, and definitely within the realm of practicality.

ColorComputerStore Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I was thinking possible based on the achievement with the hardware board that allows MSX games to be playable on the TI. Need to find a link to the board. Need to check some Japanese websites for such projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
