You are talking about just the "portable" portion of the CD player, right?  If that's the case, yes, they're compatible.

I can confirm that they are compatible. I have both the TG-CD and docking station as well as a PC Engine briefcase and have used the CD ROM units interchangeably. I would like to get another black US TG CD ROM unit to go with the black PC Engine Core Grafx for a matching set.

Very nice. The TG-CD looks great with the CG.

Not bad, but the CGII looks more sexamafied when paired with the SuperCD.

Agreed,but the Supergrafx looks even more sexamafied then the Coregrafx when paired with a Super Cd Rom 2 unit, and sense I only have one to go around at the moment.....

Good point, but I think the SG and SuperCD combo is more utilitarian in appearance than sexy.  Kinda like an orgy (all asses and elbows), yet the potential for unadulterated awesomeness is unparalleled.

Nice to finally see a pic of this! I always wanted to see that. Kinda looks like a spraypainted PCE CD since it's so much darker than the Core Grafx and interface unit.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
