Title: SD based device as a CD-Rom replacement?
Post by: Everblue on July 12, 2014, 11:17:40 PM
Some consoles have similar projects in the works, GD-Rom replacement for Dreamcast, PlayStation as well as Saturn. What are the chances of the PC Engine getting a similar device which lets us use iso files dumped on an SD card or HDD and load games from there? Assuming this will be even possible of course!  :pray:

Not impossible to do on the Duo or CD-ROM2, you just have to find the right Ukrainian or Russian guy for the job =)

Give him enough money and wait a few years.
