I already have a US Turbografx-16. but the PCengine has a better selection of games. so what is the cheapest way possible to play a PCengine HuCard?

What's up with islands? Get more land.
What's up with deserts? Get less sand.
If you don't care about CD games... buy a used, loose Coregrafx or original white pc-engine. A converter is a lot more rare and expensive.

If I buy a loose Coregrafx. what wires do I need to play it? and what AC Adapter does it use?

You will need the following:
1) Games (obvious)
2) Core or white PC Engine
3) AV cables (Genesis or SMS AV cables will work)
4) A PC Engine Controller, TG16 controller won't work due to different port
5) 9V 850mA AC Adapter (negative center)

Will the Turbografx AC adapter work?

It's ballpark but the voltage is too high to be 100% safe (PC Engine is 9v and I believe the TG-16 runs on 10.5V). I can attest that it does work but I wouldn't use it as a permanent solution. A Sega Master System / Model 1 Genesis power supply is a good match for the PC Engine's original power supply. A Model 2 Genesis power supply IS NOT.
I'm actually just thinking about buying, an adapter. I found one on a website that is like 80 dollars. Is there anything I can do about using a 6 button controller?
EDIT: I mean an Adaptor to play PC Engine games on a Turbografx-16

If you go to PCEngineFX.com and speak to Shop5, he would send you a Chopsado for free. It's the best alternative for playing imports without modding and works very good once you get used to it. Just thought I would throw that out there and there is no need for buying a new system or buying an expensive adapter either.

Read the whole thread before you freak on the first pics because he perfected it and they look better these days and work fine.
I just signed up over there and I'm waiting for an admin to approve my account.
