Opinions needed, Best way to get a card for my TG-16 + CD
« on: December 15, 2012, 06:34:22 AM »
      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.

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!

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.

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
