Can we clear up what System Cards you need to play what?

Even the guide on the front page, which is quite detailed and handsome-looking, doesn't give all the information I need.  A couple questions remain.

1: Do I need a System Card to play any games at all in a gray DUO or white CD-ROM2 unit, or are they built in?
2: Is the Arcade Card DUO essentially the ultimate system card?  Will it allow me to play Super CD-ROM2 games as well as Arcade Card games?

1: The Super CD System Card is built in to All Duo systems(Turboduo, PCE Duo, Duo-R, 'RX). So a Duo system will play all CD games(worldwide) except Arcade Card CDs and all HuCards native to it's region.

The white CD-ROM2 unit requires a PC Engine system(white PCE, Coregrafx I or II, or Supergrafx or LT + RAU-30 adaptor) and a System Card(which is played through the PCE system).


2: The Arcade Card Duo just lets a Duo system play Arcade Card games as well as everything else. To play all CD games on a white CD-ROM2 system, you'll need the Arcade Card PRO(and some kind of PCE system).

I think that that was what he was refering to by "the guide on the front page".

Yeah, I mentioned that earlier in the post.  However, the Wiki on the PCE has lately been greatly expanded, and discusses this subject at length.  Thanks anyway!
