what you want is a briefcase unit with a super grafx and RAU-30, and region mod the super grafx so you can play Roundeye games.

It'll cost you like 800$ but it's worth it.

Wouldn't the Vaccuum cleaner be cheaper?  I've seen Super CDROM2s go cheaper than a working briefcase.

I vote for the US Duo and Supergrafx or Core. Like folks said already, a US Duo will run your US Hu's and all (S)CD's and the Supergrafx/Core takes care of your few JP Hu's. I would go with the Core because at the end of the day, there is not much for SGX and the two games you WANT, will set you back. Plus the Core is pure sex.

I un-region locked my JP Duo to work with my Kisado. Before the Duo, I had a TG-16 CDROM w/ ACD but it finally died (donation to BlueBMW!). With the convertor, it played everything except SGX but it seems convertors are getting pricey.

The beefcase is sexier and has a handle.

and the RAU-30 makes it look scientific.

Speaking of the RAU-30, what are those little black things for?

Lol, quite possibly. :)

Maybe, but if that's the case why only 2? When the SuperGrafx is hooked up to the IFU-30 via the RAU-30, do you still obtain video/audio from the IFU-30? I vaguely recall reading something weird/different about using the SuperGrafx with the IFU-30 - not sure though, might be getting my wires crossed.

Those are cyanide capsules. If, due to unfortunate circumstances, SuperGrafx games stop being released, children 12 and under* take one capsule. 13+ years of age take two capsules.

*NEC recommends that extremely husky children 12 and under take 2 capsules.
