2/13/2025: Localization News - Cosmic Fantasy 3-4!

Rather earth-shattering news in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 community: Cosmic Fantasy 3 & 4 has been officially localized to English by Edia 30 years later for the Switch! Hard to believe! I know their script quality is poor given the 1&2 port but still good to see.

      I have a very nice (bitchin') TG-16 + CD set up (no mods / all orginal).  However I don't have a System card. 

SO,

      1) what system card would I should I get to be able to use this set up?

      2) what cards work will work with my set-up? - I tried searching the forum for the answer but, didn't see anything definte to my situation.

      3) aside: anyone have a card that they are willing to part with / complete or card only?

Keep in mind I have a duo with arcade duo card, so I do have the means to play most Cd's.  Basically I don't want my cd system to be just a dust collector, and I tried running a cd-r in my black pce duo and it wasn't good, so I'm hoping to run some patched games with the TG-16 with CD. 

THANKS IN ADVANCE.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)
BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere. You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

pce 3.0 card and either a region mod or a chopsado stuck to the card. the converters are too expensive these days. you already have an arcade card so don't bother. hunting down an arcade card pro

Just get a region mod for your TG-16 and you might as well have s-video added while you're at it.

Then either buy a cheap System 3.0 card or Arcade Card Pro and then sell/trade your Arcade Card Duo.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

I concur that both Punkic and Tiger have excellent suggestions. Getting a US 3.0 card is just too expensive, and sticking to the regular TG-CD card is too restrictive. Either use a Chopsado on a 3.0 or Arcade Card, or region-mod the system.

That's what she said !! All kidding aside id go with what most have suggested turbow.Converters are over priced these days.Either have the,TG16 region modded and use a JP 3.0 card or acd pro or with a chopsado.

the other system cards work on flash carts too.
the duo can be tuned (may need laser) to work perfect with CDR's
