Probably a stupid question but does the PC Engine Duo-R ...

... play U.S. games natively? If not is there anyway to mod it to play both?

[Ed Oscuro]

I've read that the bit order of something or other in the actual games has been reversed for US releases. That's fixable with an emulator, but to play US games on a Japanese system requires some extra hardware (I do believe convertors exist, though).

[GameGuru]

Ok, I might just play japanese games on it then. Role players are out of course. Anyone know an online store that sells PC Engine titles (not ebay, I will search there but would like to buy without bidding)?

It will play both US and Japan CD games natively, but you will need the converter for cards.

Oh really, cool. So I can buy and Turbo CDs and they will work?

Yeah. I sell em :) And this is a good question for the import forum! That's why we have it!

Where can I buy japanese HU Card games online directly (non ebay)?

Check out what Maxlords has for sale. There's also various import game places, the OPCFG has some listed (google that site).

Also, sorry for not mentioning that the bit order stuff only applies to HuCards. Yeah, you can play any ol' CD-ROM game if you have the right system card installed. :o

I am at your site now. Do you have any japanese version of Bonk on there? What is it's name in Japan?

Also why are you running a business off of angelfire? You can register a domain name for a year for $13 and there are so many hosts that charge just $5 a month.

Yep, it's Dire 51's site. Actually, that gives me an idea.

I don't have squat for Jp huCards....just sold them all this morning, including a Bonk, which is called PC Genjin. And I have no money for a domain name, I'm cheap....plus that site is totally out of date on my inventory. Anyway, I have a BUNCH of CD games, no huCards really (being as they all just sold). PM me for details.
