What's that thingy on the SuperGrafx power switch for?
« on: April 19, 2017, 07:07:43 PM »
I'm sure everyone has noticed that when you turn the power switch ON on the SuperGrafx a little piece of plastic protrudes from the left side of the system for no apparent reason. At first I thought maybe this would just act as a far less convenient way of powering the system off, requested by customers who hate their lives. But no. I must assume it was for that thing that the SuperGrafx was supposed to attatch to, right? So you don't remove it while powered on? Kinda like how the TurboGrafx-16 and the Turbo CD must be locked together in order to power up. Is PCE the same way with the IFU?.

Yarr, something for the Power Console thing sounds most likely.

Correct. That would be my guess.

Power
Console.
