How do I play NA hu-cards on a Japanese system?

[Seldane]

I was wondering if there's a way to play North American hu-cards on a Japanese PC Engine Duo system.

I know there are converters, but I can't seem to find any on Ebay. What are they called, where do I buy them and what do they usually cost?

Is there a way to modify the console so that it can play BOTH Japanese and North American hu-cards?

....Or is there a way to modify it so that it can play ONLY North American hu-cards?

Thanks in advance.

D-lite does it he can put a switch in for that.

The switch lets you go from japan to u.s mode

Oh, good, good. But I'd prefer to perform the modification myself. I'm used to such things.

But I just can't seem to find any sites with information on how to perform this modification.

Got no clue i guess you have to ask, D-lite about that.

There is a link somewhere that shows you how to do it on American systems, but it's a little different and harder on Japanese systems from what I know.

For a pc Engine, you have to do this mod first.

then perform this mod on either, remember that you have do it backwards depending on what region system you are using.

Personally, I suggest you get it done by D-Lite and save yourself the heart ache

I was going to ask about this myself as there are one or two US HuCards I was thinking of getting for my Core Grafx (Darkwing Duck springs to mind) but I don't think I'll take the risk...

Time to track down a cheap US machine instead...! lol

The correct switch to use for installing a region mod can be a little hard to find, I hope you find it and for a good price. I know one site used to sell them, which is where D-Lite buys them I believe.

I have a Duo-R with D-lite's region mod on it and I friggin' love it.

yep!
no complaint from me either. I have my SGX done with full wack of mod by D-Lite... even if it cost me arm and leg to ship across Pacific Ocean...

[ParanoiaDragon]

Doesn't look like he has prices on the site, unless I'm blind.  Anyone here know, "around" how much it "could" cost to mod a SGX???
