Little known cool tips anyone?

Well anyway, the programmers left in the code to turn off the chiptune BGM, so that you may enjoy CD Music with the standard SFII sound effects peppered in.  This procedure requires either a cd-rom2 briefcase setup or TG-CD.  Sorry, no fancy duo units allowed 

Great tip - but I guess I can't use my sexy SCD unit - no play button

Rumor (legend?) has it that Street Fighter 2 was originally supposed to load music off of an included CD, which may explain why the hucard comes in a double case.  The double case could have just been used to make the game look more impressive, since it was a whopping 9800 YEN at release (ouch!).  Either way, the CD was apparently scrapped to help keep the cost down.

BEST VIDEO GAME RUMOR

If you have a Super CD ROM2 and you still have the expansion bus cover for your core unit, you can place it under the front of the unit to keep it flush with the surface.  No more tilting about when inserting HuCards!

To avoid long term damage, never plunge your Duo into a bucket of ice cold water while the power is on.

I'm not convinced.  Have any proof?

1. Startup the game like normal, but let the demo play out
2. Insert a controller into port 3 of the tap and press RUN.  This will pause the demo, letting you know it worked correctly.
3. Insert any CD of your preference. 

4. Press RUN on controller 1 or 2 to start the game like normal.
5. Press the PLAY button on the CD unit for the music to start, skip buttons to select track.

maybe this is well known, but I had trouble tracking it down online.  Thankfully the turbolist archives are still online.

Edit: relevant gif is relevant

Hmm gonna have to try this one.

This didn't work for me, necro-bump to see if anyone else had success?

KOOLTIP: "A-B Repeat" can be an invaluable feature for annoying humans/animals within listening distance. CD player will endlessly repeat between user-defined (A) starting and (B) stopping points--creating an endless loop. I suggest putting the chorus/refrain to a song on loop. How many minutes/hours/days can you endure this?

Oh MAN! I still use this feature to this day to figure out guitar phrases to songs I'm learning. It's so easy to select a phrase, and repeat it until you figure it out and are playing right along! Most recent band I did this with:Ghost BC.

Cool tip #465 - Buying a PC Engine makes you seem 4x cooler than buying a TurboGrafx-16.

[GohanX]

1. Always keep your CD unit plugged into the mains to retains your saved games.

I know this was from quite a while ago, but does removing the CD unit really mess with the save games? I've been removing/swapping drives quite a bit lately and my memory keeps erasing. I figure the save cap was going bad.

Cool tip #465 - Buying a PC Engine makes you seem 4x cooler than buying a TurboGrafx-16.

Cool tip #512: Owning a TurboGrafx-16 actually proves that you are 10x more radical and that nothing else can even compare.

Cool tip #580: BlaZing LaZers > Gunhed.

I didn't know about this and just tried it.  It works as instructed.  I tried it on a PCE CD Briefcase and used a cordless controller switched to player 3 instead of a tap.  Simply hit start when the computer fighting demo begins and it will pause.  Then you basically have access to your CD player functions to play music. 

I also tried it on a Duo.  As stated, it doesn't work on it since there are no separate CD player controls/buttons.
