One word region mod it for a TG16 any ways.

Realy it's that simple given converters for it are too costly these days.

I recomend it since a jpn 3.0 super system card is "cheaper" and is more common compare to the u.s one.

Heck even a (arcade pro card) would work just as well too.

Just a suggestion if you wanna play any scd game since dracula x is one.

The,other option of corse is getting a duo-r or rx since is has the 3.0 built in all ready.

I have a Japanese Duo. All the games that interest me are Japanese, so I have no need for converters.

I have a TG-16, want the CD Add-On (So i can play my copy of Dracula X for PC Engine). Also was looking at getting the Super System Card to addon to make it more like a real Turbo Duo.

You do realize that you NEED the Super System Card to play Dracula X, right? It won't work with the original System Card.

Agreed. Converters are expensive these days for some reason. Very strange considering how simple the device is... I wish the connectors were more easily available.

Heck even a arcade pro card would just as well too.

If you're going to go the Japanese route, just get an Arcade Card and forget about the other ones. The Arcade Card has all the features of the Super System Card and then some... plus, it's usually cheaper and easier to find than the Super System Card. Just make sure you get the Arcade Card *PRO* unless you have a Duo... in which case the Arcade Card Duo is a bit cheaper.

The,other option of corse is getting a duo-r or rx since is has the 3.0 built in all ready.

Pre-modded Duo-R(X)'s are pretty common on eBay for a little over $200... It's generally cheaper than getting a North American Duo, or TG16+CD+SSC combo.

Yes I KNOW I NEED that card.

Edit, sorry, didnt mean that to be a dick sentence. I know I need that card, I like to collect as much random stuff as possible... so more than likely ill end up with the Duo-R and a TG-16 with all the monster addons... FWIW, i am one of the crazy people that like the Genesis, 32X, CD mamoth because it looks so cool!

If you like monstrosities go for the Super Grafx and Super CD ROM2

It only had about 5 games released and will enhance some, like the Darius games.

That Is Awesome!

Even worse, they made an adapter so you could hook the SGX into the old white briefcase-style PC-E CD-ROM. The resulting mess makes the 32X look like an engineering marvel. I can't seem to find a picture of the whole setup, but here's the adapter:



Hook an SGX onto the black end of it, and stuff the white end into the briefcase, and you have quite possibly the least attractive setup in gaming history! And you'd still need a System 3.0 or Arcade Card in order to play anything but the earliest CD games. I've always wanted to get this stuff and set it up just for shits and giggles. For a sense of scale, the white part is the same size as the original PC-Engine. Why the black end is so big is a mystery to me.

So I've got a question about that. What does Darius Plus look like in a Super Grafx? I've played the PCE version quite a bit and seen videos on youtube of the SG version, and they look the exact same. I've been trying to look for extra scrolling layers or ANYTHING... and I can't see one lick of difference.

Maybe it's more a matter of using the SuperGrafx hardware to do things that otherwise take extra processing cycles on the PC Engine, thus producing the same graphics, but with improved frame rate? I have no idea. I have the game on the way though, and I'm curious about this myself. If I figure it out, I'll try to remember to post my findings.
