If anyone on this forum would be willing to test out the System Card 3.0, that would be fantastic - I would happily ship it over :)

I did originally think about getting my system region-modded, but the appeal of being able to also use the converter on a PC Engine (when I end up eventually getting one lol) seemed appealing to me at the time.

I'll go ahead and get the arcade card - thank you for the helpful advice, everyone!

Hello ProffesorProfessorson, I lightly sanded the System Card 3.0, but I'm unfortunately getting the same result (stuck on the "Now loading..." screen, or a black screen).

Necromancer, I unfortunately don't have another system to test out the System Card on... would you think that this might be an adapter issue, or a System Card issue? Thank you again for helping me out with this.

Thank you all for the prompt replies :)

The Turbo PC Henshin is Rev E (I just received it in the mail last week). I've been waiting to play these games since November, but there was the Christmas rush that made the delivery extra slow (the first PC Henshin I received also was not working, but I was upgraded to a Turbo PC Henshin for the inconvenience, which I appreciated).

The weird thing about using the adapter with the Japanese system card is that it will play my regular TG16 CD games without any issues (2.0 and under), but the freezing and black screens only occur with Super CD (or 3.0 and above) games.

I unfortunately do not own an Everdrive (I wanted to try and stay away from the allure of being able to play all TG16 games - let's face it, I'd never go outside again! Lol).

First of all, I want to say hello to everyone in this community! I'm very thankful that the TG16 and PC Engine still have a wonderful following  :dance:

I recently purchased a PC Henshin Turbo adapter from DBElectronics (Link to the product: http://www.db-elec.com/home/products/turbo-pc-henshin ). I have an American Turbografx 16, along with the CD attachment, and I purchased the adapter so I can run the Japanese System Card 3.0 so I can play import and Super CD disks.

While I have been able to successfully play PC Engine Hucards, I have not been able to boot any Super CD games... I was able to successfully boot the PC Engine System Card 3.0 on my American TG16 system, but all my 3.0 compatible games (both US and JPN) freeze at the "Just a moment..." screen, or it just goes to a black screen while the CD-ROM drive stops spinning...all my games that are compatible with the System Card 2.0 work just fine (YS 1 and 2, Fighting Street, Rainbow Islands), but none of the 3.0 - compatible games work (and they're all original legit copies - Loom (Turbo Duo US), YS IV, Legend Of Heroes II (PC Engine)...

Does anyone have any experience with the Turbo PC Henshin adapter, or running Japanese System cards on an American TG16? Thank you all for your time, I truly appreciate it   8-[
