Title: PC-Engine Region mod that's work with the everdrive
Post by: turbokon on November 29, 2014, 07:36:31 AM

I tried out a different location for the region board in a pc-engine install to keep the data lines short.  Didn't think I had room at this location but it works.  Every rom I tried on the Turbo Everdrive seems to load A-OK.  I have another PC-Engine with the region board already installed and it's having issues with the everdrive.  Will move the region to this location to see if the everdrive loads any better.

Im getting an everdrive for Christmas.  If it does not work in my duo-r, I may have to call on you for advice.

Both US Turbo grafx and DUO-r systems have no issues with either a chip based region mod or a manual 8pdt region mod when using an everdrive.

Both US Duos and regular Pcengine duos require a chip based region mod to work with an everdrive.

Core grafx and PC engine systems require a chip based region mod with the wires being as short as possible.

Thanks for clearing that up.
