I've been trying to emulate some TG-16 CD but it apparently hasn't been made possible. I haven't even noticed any CD ROM dumps anywhere.
Whats the deal? Does anybody even know an emulator that handles TG-16 CD?

The newer version of Magic Engine does it alright for me as long as you use a system card rom to boot it.
edit: p.s.: http://mcsteam.phpbb.tv/ftopic60.html
As Cryomancer said, MagicEngine is the way to go - it's $16 but well worth it considering how robust it is (still way less than a TurboDuo). TG-16 CD dumps (ISOs) aren't all that common to find online, simply because generally the TG16 is a machine archived by the hardcore into the NEC console wonder - so mostly everything is first run original production. (that and I remember something about the CD's having some screwy copy protection, at least the Dracula-X copy project had some problems with that) However there are a few sources out there that will give you backups burned to CD-R, however I won't mention those here. Google for TurboDuo backups and you should find some sources.Originally Posted by DeputyMoniker
There's plenty of backups to be found out there. My turbo duo seems to be picky about them and will sometimes mess it up, so I only emulate them.
For emulation use Magic Engine. Great emulator. If I do remember correctly, the only way to get sound is to use an analog cable connected from your cd drive to the cd in port on your sound card. There may be another way to get the sound to play off the cd, but this was the only way I could figure out.
Again, Magic Engine... it's the way to go. As for the backups... don't be cheap. Just go buy the games. Yeah, there's some expensive ones, but seeing as how most people in the world are idiots, especially when it comes to backing up SCDs (Super CDs), you're better off buying the games and making your own.
SCDs don't use a regular CD format. They're a bunch of audio tracks and one or two (comparitely) small data tracks. You need good hardware and software to do a proper rip for them to work, especially if you're going to put them back into SCD form which Magic Engine needs to run, and most people just don't do that.
I think paying for emulators is bollocks too, but Magic Engine is a solid product. Very well done, and looks commercial.
Wont I end up with a bunch of Japanese games if I search for DUO dumps? I really want Sherlock Holmes 1&2...but not if he's speaking a foreign lang.Originally Posted by InsaneDavid

I also recommend magic engine. I purchased it awile back and it runs great for me.
I'm just trying to keep from losing my mind!

But I guess I need to do that, cause I really need to hear the damn soundtracks.
So if I go to a computer store and ask for a analog cable to connect from my CD Drive to the CD in port they will know what the hell I'm talking about?
I would think that I already have one in there. I'll have to check and see what's up.
The TurboDuo seems to have problems with reading backups unless it's an earlier version, TG16 CD is the way to go if you want to play backups on an actual system, but as you said MagicEngine runs them fine.Originally Posted by -hellvin-

You know, it's a skinny little thin cable with three wires that has a flat plug on each side that runs from the back of your CD drive (where the little pins are, usually on the opposite side of the power connection) to a similar set of pins (usually in a socket) on your soundcard? (all on the INSIDE of your computer) My Sound Blaster PCI 128 has three, currently two are used - one for each of my CD drives, and CD audio under Magic Engine works fine when using either.Originally Posted by Anthony1
If your sound card doesn't support an internal connection or you can't get it working or whatever, you don't need any special cable for the external connection. You basically just need a standard audio patch cord, it'll have two male ends. You're going to plug it into the external headphone jack on the front of your CD drive and then loop it around to the back of your computer and plug it into the input socket on your sound card. (guess you could also simply plug your speakers into the external jack on the front of your CD drive)Originally Posted by Anthony1
I have to agree, it took this guy four tries before I could get a working backup of my copy of Dracula X - with a week in between of each. Although once I finally got one that didn't have junk like "the last 3% of the game has problems" it was nice to finally be able to put the original back on the shelf.Originally Posted by GaijinPunch
That's what it was! Couldn't remember, thanks!Originally Posted by GaijinPunch
