Did I buy a knock off TV Game Converter?

    I just picked up one of these PCE/TG16 converters (for way too much!) and realized it won't fit my Turbo Duo. I've seen these in purple and white but the one I got was brown and it seems that the base of the converter is about half as high as the ones I've seen in pics/videos. Because of this, the sides of the converter hit the Duo before the PCB part slides all of the way in the slot. Here are a few pics, the first shows "spida1a" using his on his YouTube video, playing Ninja Gaiden. The last pic is of the one I bought. Is this a knock off or the same company? Has anyone seen different variations of these before?

    All PCE converters other than the Kisado are pretty much crap.

    This is made for PC engine, you need to cut part of the case to make it work.

    The kisado has a yellow clone version

    The purple one has clones in white and black

    They all work, people just prefer the sexiness of the kisado and are enamored with the price.
