does the pc engine cd rom work with a turbografx?
« on: June 17, 2013, 07:32:57 AM »
Hi, I recently purchased off ebay a turbografx with the cd dock and sysyem card, but no drive. Since the pc engine cd rom is more common and the two appear to just have different shells, I was wondering if it would work. Thanks for any knowledge you guys have.

Yes, it'll work.  If you search the forums, you can even find pics of 'em paired up (and working of course).

I have a pc engine CD with a black tg16 case on it, this works fine with my tg16 and CD base unit setup.

it was like it when i bought it the last owner must have a dead unit and swapped the case to make it match.
I always wanted a thing called tuna sashemie

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.

Thanks everyone for the info! In the future I'll probably get a pc engine cd drive since I'm sure their much easier to find and I don't care about asthetics so long as it works

Dammit Necro, you beat me to it.  But... aren't you proud of me for my first successful forum search?

Lol.  Figuring out that search out to earn an achievement award.
