Sorry for the noob question :oops:
Appreciate any help
No, totally different hardware.
so are all the games for PC-FX Jap or was it release in the US/Europe as well?
If you had a jap one would it play US games?
The PC-FX can't play Turbo games any more than the Saturn can play Genesis games.
And no, there was no US release... Japan only.
We can all dream though, right?
That would make for a hell of a mod chip!
EDIT:
Oops! Mod chip.
I still say it would be awesome if someone would make an expansion to the PCFX to make it backwards compatible (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=9350.0). LOL
It would be revolutionary. I wish NEC had done it!!
It's obviously not playing the game, but some titles will show an error screen on a PC-FX akin to those shown for wrong system cards in a PCE.

If we're going to mod it, cut the top of the casing off so it's open like a record player. Beef up the motor then have another laser w/carriage sticking several inches out the other side.....
Now it plays Laseractive titles too!!
the LA mod.......LOL nice

I guess I should ask - since I recall hearing the PC-FX had very similar hardware to the PCE (So it wouldn't be as contrasting as a Genesis-to-Saturn after all), how theoretically possible would it be to emulate on it or to reverse-engineer a port?
I'd assume it'd be easier than porting Super Mario Bros. to the Genesis was...
