turbo grafx 16 question

[dsullo]

Does anyone know if a turbo grafx 16 with a CD Attachment using a system 2.0 card can play "PC-Engine Super CD-Rom" games?

I know some of you are experts in this field

thanks

No, it won't, Dustin.

As you're probably aware, the type of CD you can play is based on the system card (or BIOS) you have. The System Card 2.0 allows you to play CD-ROM2 games, and the Super System Card 3.0 allows you to play Super CD-ROM games.

thanks Joe

you can always copy the games to a cd image and change the country code, burn, then play the copy.. works for sega-cd and Saturn games anyway.

Anyone have a link on how to do this for SEGA CD? I think I have the disk image tools, but lack the know how to know what to alter.

Anyone?

Footnotes
---------
1) does not play background music after conversion
2) music and voices in intro or cutscenes out of sync;
can be overcome by switching the Mega Drive to 60Hz




The Saturn country util is much better and is a Windows program..
