I hear that there might be compatibility issues if you get your TG-16 region modded.  Is this true?

Odd question, as if you have ted then you don't need a region mod (this is assuming you don't already have a region mod tg16 before buying the ted) all you do is hit the tg16/pce switch, and make sure you put the 1.0/2.0/3.0 super cdrom rom in root dir so you can use it with your cd player, no need for a cd card if you have ted.


But the Super System Card 3.0 has extra ram.   Does the TED have ram built in that can act as a system 3.0 card?

No, it does not.  You cannot use the 3.0 BIOS with the Turbo EverDrive at this time.  You can use the others however.

Yeah, good point, you would still want a region mod on a US system for the Japanese Arcade Card Duo. As Shawn mentioned, using good, [copper] short wires and tapping the voltage directly from the output leg of the 5 Volt regulator solves region mod + flashcart problems. When you tap the voltage from the AV out or elsewhere, it's gone through traces in the motherboard and gained resistance as a result, so there's a slight voltage drop and less juice availability.

Turbo everdrive region switch compatibility.

Both US Turbo Grafx and JP DUO-R systems work just fine with both an 8PDT switch or chip based region switch

Regular DUO systems both US and JP require a chip based mod and tapping of 5V from the 7805 voltage regulator.

PC engine/Core grafx require a chip based mod with the wires being as short as possible and tapping the 5V from the 7805 voltage regulator.

Strangest thing happened last night.  I fired up The Legendary Axe, via EverDrive, on the PC Engine Duo  I recently got from turbokon, and it played just fine...until the second level.  The graphics were all out of whack, big time.  My character sprite was fine, but the level itself was all jacked up. I couldn't proceed more than half a screen.  The lava river that flows underneath the level floor?  It was also in a strange place....it literally split the screen in half from top to bottom.  The rocks were solid, and I could jump onto them, sometimes making it through.  Strangest thing I have ever encountered with my EverDrive.  Now, I fired up the same game, same rom, on my Turbo Duo...it played just fine..no issues at all.  Japanese rom played just fine on the PCE, so I am not really sure what the hell went down....

Yes, it will.  :)

Also, let me know if you want my Turbo EverDrive folder setup.  Has everything you want and more in there, nicely organized.   :lol:

Hey Bernie can you Hooke me up with this?  I need to fix my Everdrive folders. Mine are sloppy and done like badly.
