    Default PC Engine Arcade card - Duo or Pro?

    Alright, I use a US Turbo Duo with a converter to play PC-Engine games. Which card do I need to play Aracde CDs? From the name, I'd assume the arcade card duo. Will the pro work as well?

    Thanks,
    Drew

    You need the Arcade Card Duo. The Pro works with everything but the Duo

    Arcade Card Pro (orange one) is intended for use with original TurboGrafx/PC-Engine, it gives you the ability to play both Super CD and ACD. If you have the original TurboGrafx with CD add-on, you'll need to use Arcade Card Pro with convertor.

    On a side note, at one time I got a LaserActive PC-Engine module with Arcade Card Pro stuck in it (you're suppose to use Arcae Card Duo), it was a bitch trying to get it off, we actually had to take the module apart to remove the AC Pro.

    Get whichever is cheaper, they will both work on a Duo with a converter anyway. I bought the Pro, because I wanted to keep my TG/CD setup as a backup to my Duo.

    To my knowledge, this is NOT true. As far as I know, the Pro does NOT work with Duos. And the Pro is more expensive as well.

    the pro has the extra memory and a built in system card, since the duo doesnt need the system card the duo is just the mem

    Sorry to drag up such an old post but...

    I ONLY have the AC Pro. I normally ONLY use it with my DUO. I can confirm from first hand experience, that it does indeed work. The DUO will boot up whatever HuCard you put in the slot, so if you have a US version 2 card or a US version 3 card, they both will work as well.
