Title: Does a super cd2 add on work on a turbografx 16
Post by: Purple1308 on January 14, 2018, 03:35:08 PM

I was wondering if it’s possible or not can anyone confirm this?

In theory it should, with the right system card, problem is the Super CD2 might not physically fit a TG16.

If you can outsource the connectors for the TG16 and PCE you could in theory create a wire adapter to use them, similarly to how the SuperGrafx worked with the original briefcase CDROM2.

Or just go bare circuit boards.

It will not fit without some modification.  I just got a super cd rom 2 and tested this.  The connector on the super cd needs to be cut and even then the power socket of the turbografx does not line up with the hole on the side of the super cd.  I used the shell only of the TG16 to test the clearance.

  A friend of mine suggested that modding an RAU-30 would probably make the TG16 work with the super cd.  These are pretty uncommon devices so it made no sense to me to mod them when a pc engine works just fine with the super cd.

Thanks for the info
