Does the Arcade card work on the TG16 along with a game converter?

Only the arcade card pro will work with a converter. A duo arcade card will not.

They both work (usually) with converters. All cards work with converters.

The AC Duo won't work on a TG-16 though, converter, mod, or otherwise, since it has no System 3.0 ROM. Only the Pro will work on a TG-16.

Basically the Duo was a cheaper version for people who already had systems with the 3.0 built in. The Pro will work on any system (converter or mod needed for US systems) since the 3.0 system on the AC will just override the one built in.

Yes, it will work fine.  Arcade Card Duo, Converter, US Duo.

f*ck this is confusing, yes, it will work on a Duo...I thought he meant standard TG-16. I didn't read kakutolives's entire clarification.

20-some years later and you're still tripping up people NEC. Good job.

An arcade card DUO will only work with DUO systems. If you want to use an arcade card on a standard US Turbo grafx system you will need a converter and the Arcade card PRO system card.

...and yet it isn't strictly true! The AC Duo also works fine with any Core combined with a Super CDROM2.
