Localization Legend "Supper the Subtitler" has "joined the club" in being targeted for CD-pressings by bootleg master Tobias/PCEWorks! His projects like Private Eyedol, Galaxy Fräulein Yuna 1 & 2, etc. are now being sold on Chinese factory-pressed CDROMs...

As for the manuals, they're just going in my media cabinet with my other games and movies.

Today I'm thinking my post could have had a tone of sarcasm about it, I just want you to know I was being sincere.  Good luck with the library!

No worries mate, I didn't take it sarcastically at all. 

Funny enough, i do have a cat.  Each hucard is placed in a 15card plastic card holder which is then held by velcro to the shelf.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself.  I am someone that fell in love with the Turbografx 16 when I was 5 years old.  My family had a Nintendo which was great fun, but one day my brothers and I went over to a neighbor's house to play. My neighbor's older brother was playing this really bright colorful video game that blew this 5 year old away since I was used to Mario Bros and Duck Hunt.  The game he was playing was Bonk's Adventure and I immediately fell in love with it.

Turbografx 16s were so rare though and we already had a Nintendo so my brother's and I didn't even contemplate owning one.  A few years later my younger brother was in a mom and pop type used video game store and saw one for sale for pretty cheap with Keith Courage and JJ and Jeff.  He bought it and we played those games for hours on end. 

Now about 18 or so years later I own my own Turbografx 16 and am building up my collection of games.  My brother still has his console from the early 90s and we both are trying to get all the US hucards.  My favorite games are still the Bonk games though.

I also have the cd dock and a PC engine cdrom with pc henshin converter and japanese system 3.0 card, but I can't get CD games to play consistently.  But that's okay, just today I bought a TurboDuo  O:)

I love the hucards and wanted to show two shelves I custom built to show off my collection.  They are on the walls on either side of my entertainment center.

I have been reading through this forum and have learned a lot.  The mods you guys do are incredible.  I look forward to making this forum a daily stop during my internet rounds.

Life got in the way and I haven't been able to do anything with my Turbografx in the last couple of weeks. This weekend I'm going to sit down and try some of the suggestions in this thread which I really appreciate.
If nothing works I may take you up on your offer Keith to try out my Henshin and system card.

Thanks for the additional replies.

Prince of Persia will start up, show the title screen perfectly, but then during gameplay the graphics are are wonky and you can't make out much of anything.  I don't really understand what is going on.

I'm not electronically savvy, but I'll do some reading on what Xenogears and thesteve are suggesting.

I'll also try to pick up a Pc Engine hucard soon so I can test the Pc Henshin.  I'm hoping the issue is a bad system card.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

I got a 12v 2.5a ac adapter today.  Now audio cds play fine through the dock right on the tv, but still the game won't play.  After "Wait a moment" the screen goes black and nothing happens even though the game disc is playing.

The game was just one the seller of the cd rom through in for free, so maybe it's the game disc.  I have Prince of Persia coming tomorrow so will test that out and hope it works.

Hello all,

I am hoping someone here can help direct me in the right direction with my issue.  I've been doing a lot of reading, but am not very mechanically inclined so would love to hear suggestions.

My setup is a turbografx 16 with turbografx 16 dock and Pc engine Cdrom2.  I use the PC Henshin rev E with Japanese Super system card 3.0.

I recently bought the CdRom2 and it has a new working gear and laser.  It was tested before getting to me and was working well.

My problem is that it will play an audio CD when plugged directly into the wall, but when plugged in to the turbografx dock, it will power on, spin, make noise like it's going to load but then the Super System screen does not move past "Wait a moment".
When I try an audio CD when connected to the dock, sometimes it will advance to the buttons menu, but not play the music and sometimes it just stays at "Wait a moment."

Currently why I think it's not working is because of my power supply.  It's 9V 1.5a which to my understanding is not enough volts. 

Any other thoughts?  Bad system card?

Thanks
