Ripping and writing Turbo CD titles - Help

[elmer]

Is it fixed to work with TGCD yet?  I still haven't had mine replaced...

I'm not 100% sure, because I haven't seen a report from a TGCD owner ... but the latest version 2.4 (or 2.3) is supposed to have fixed all the problems.

My version 2.3 replacement card certainly fixed the problems that I was having with a Core Grafx II & SuperCDROM.

IMHO, it's well worth sending it back for the fix.

Even better if a couple of folks get together to send back more than one card and share the expensive international shipping.

thanks for the feedback everyone.

yeah, i'd like to get a pc-hension, but i think they are currently out of stock.

the seller didn't pull one over on me....i give him the benefit of the doubt.
i just didn't realize i needed a 3.0 when i bought the system.
i'm new to this 30 yr old tech....lol
i never had this system growing up. i was excited ti finally get one

Hey Spawnshop,

Try some 2.0 CD copies and let us know how they work.

OK.
So the 2.0 is "CD" and the 3.0 is "Super CD", right?

You got it.  Any of the early CD title are 2.0.  Examples would be Fighting Street, Monster Lair, Ys I&II, etc.

I use verbatim CD-Rs. Works great

Ok, so my Turbo CD & Duo are both acting up, & I recently discovered the magic of hacking a Wii.  However, WiiMednafen only seems to work with bin files.  However, I can't seem to make any.  Any version of CDRWin I get, doesn't seem to work, I've been Googling like crazy looking for other programs that do bin files(most don't).  I can rip most cd games that are Japanese with TurboRip(most US games aren't ripping for some reason), but it's in the ISO/WAV format, & I don't see a way to rip them in BIN format, so, I'm stuck & pulling my hair out.  I thought it would be easy peasey to just rip my games & play em' on my Wii....such is not the case......  Can anyone else a brother out?

Just because I'm curious....
Have you tried just using a turbo cd?

[tbone3969]

Forget the Wii.  Play on original hardware.

I can't, both my Turbo CD & Duo are acting up, sometimes I can get the Turbo CD to work, haven't figured out the problem. :/

Send it out to Keith Courage for repair.  He can fix anything.

I may have to do that someday.  My Duo has the usual problem where the lens gets stuck.  My Turbo, can't figure out what the deal is, maybe some loose wiring?  I don't dare open it up, & send it in the mail does kinda scare me.  Probably mostly cuz it's my original, it's, more or less, my baby from my early teens...

Back on topic....
I meant, Have you tried a turbo cd in the wii ?
I modded mine to test some game on, and I don't remember having to rip a cd....
Maybe it will work?

[ParanoiaDragon]

No I haven't, totally havent' thought about that!  I didn't recall seeing anything about playing actual discs on the Wii when doing the modding.

I don't think that will work.  Will the Wii even read CDs?
