Turbografx-16 with built-in ED 2.4 & super system functionality

[turbokon]

So here is just another mod.  It's a turbografx-16 modded with internal ED 2.4 and super system card functionality for the cd games.  It will default boot to ED without hucard in slot.  Shout out to thesteve for figuring this out.

Having a spare hucard slot helps with the mod but wires can be run and soldering directly to the ED.

Note: LS245 is needed at empty spot (IC103) on tg16 pcb for older version of ED, ED 2.4 has it already built-in.

Wow, you guys really have gone at it! Where did you place access to the ED to load/eject the microSD card or does that require opening it if you need to load a game not already preloaded ?

Woah that is pretty awesome.  Would we be able to see more pics of the inside of the unit?

Interesting mod but are there any benefits beyond not having to insert a game into the slot?

I assume it's just a "because-I-can!" mod rather than something functionally superior, but 'tis cool nonetheless.

Right now, it would have to be open up to load and eject the microSD.  I may try something so it doesn't.

That was the main reason for during this and also have the built-in SCD functionality.

I have a cps2 multi board by darksoft, I had the same issue and was able to use a cable extender from the SD card slot to the outside of case.  It's just a ribbon cable with a dummy SD card on the end and a female slot on the other,  worked really well.

Great idea, I ordered a microSD extender. I added LED for the ED.  Now just waiting on a microSD extender so I don't have to open up the unit to load/eject microSD.

Ah, so one of these and problem solved ? Nice! Then it's just deciding how best to mount it properly, etc. A bit more MacGyver skill use, and all good.
