Title: WTB U.S. CD system card **GOT ONE**
Post by: Desh on January 30, 2016, 04:17:51 AM: I recently purchased a Turbografx CD dock and drive in pieces. I want to try to rehabilitate it but do not have a system card to be able to fully test it with. Just the standard U.S. 2.0 card is all I desire and see they run around $30 shipped on ebay. While $30 isn't a ton of money I'm trying to find one as cheaply as possible (condition doesn't matter) just for testing purposes. I figured I should be a cheap ass parasite and see if anyone here happened to have a spare they would let go for less before I break down and feed the ebay beast. Thanks In advance!

I was going to suggest the same thing if all he wants to do is test it. Pretty sure he has one!

That is the problem. I had an Everdrive that I traded with the Turbo Express I had for FEKA. Blasphemy, I know.

Well if you can't find a card, you're more than welcome to borrow my ever drive

Post by: obey my ego on January 31, 2016, 02:55:15 PM: I'm a bit of a noob still. I have a TurboGrafx with the CD addon. But no system card. Can I use the everdrive to play cd games? Or just to test if the CD ROM works?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the off topic question

You can use a Turbo Everdrive 2 as a Super System Card with a modified 3.0 rom. There is a thread about it HERE

Yes, you can use it to play games.
