someone told I can use Arcade Card Duo on the above said combo?
Is it true? Can it be done?
if it's tru it saves me the hassle to get Arcade Card Pro for my SGX+SuperCD-ROM combo...

Sure, after all SCD is Duo level.

Hence why the card is called Duo, its for Duo level super system.

technical question: I didn't think SuperGrafx had System card 3.0 built in... so wouldn't you still need the PCE Arcade Card, not the Duo Arcade Card? Just curious!

No because the system level 3.0 is built onto the Super CD-Rom2 unit.

Thank you! I only knew about the original CD-ROM2 drive, I didn't know NEC released a peripheral Super CD drive as well.

Guess I have to better familiarize myself with PCE hardware...

thanks for the link

I've seen that item -- but I always thought it was simply a redesigned CD-ROM2 !!!! Now I want the super CD unit for my coregrafx!

here's a picture of a SuperGrafx with Super CD-ROM2 unit attached, plus an Arcade Card (I dunno if its Arcade Card or Arcade Card Duo)

that's a sweet set-up. sure, there are some folks who don't like unwieldly contraptions, but I'd love to have SGX + Super CD...

I have the supergrafx with cdrom2 setup (not the expensive superCDrom2 like you can see in the picture above).
I had a few superCDrom2 games but couldn't run them until i used the arcade card pro.
So i guess i can run everything now except for US cards wich i use with my turbografx.

If you have the bucks here's the auction for the arcade card pro.
