CD+G, Turbo karaoke!

[guyjin]

Recently saw an ad in the paper; Target is selling a karaoke machine for almost 40 bucks. But I noticed that the machine uses... wait for it... CD+G discs!

So, has anyone tried using their turbo as a karaoke machine? did it work very well?

Also, let's say I wanted to make my own karaoke disc, or my own CD+G mix disc. Any idea how I would do that? I have a CD burner on my PC. Do CD+G's require any special equipment? How about software?

TIA.

hi, this is esteban from gamefaqs...

making tg-16 into a karaoke machine:
all you have to do is get a cheap sound mixer (make sure it supports microphone 1/4" plug and audio RCA plugs)

duo AUDIO OUT --------- mixer ------------- your stereo/tv
                                    |
microphone----------------|

this should work great (i've done this for making cheezy home films, not karaoke).  

p.s. i saw a cheap karaoke in the store and i thought the same thing "wow, CD+G, i've always wanted to see what that was like".  not many CD+G albums were released (it wasn't popular)....the cheezy old magazine TURBOPLAY did a feature on CD+G discs back in 1991/92...not many albums on the list.

because you'll get more feedback (well, at the very least i'd respond--i don't check the pcenginefx board too often)
