Title: Wanted: Arcade Card Pro
Post by: ApolloBoy on September 20, 2009, 05:35:49 PM

Just got a TG-CD setup and I need an Arcade Card Pro to play my Super CD-ROM2 games as well as the Arcade CD-ROM2 games. Does anyone have a loose one for grabs?

I assume it's region modded, or you have a convertor if you're looking for the japanese SS card.

I plan to do a region mod, yeah. The US card is real pricey, hence why I'm looking for the Japanese card.

If nobody here offers one for sale, you might want to check with Rising Stuff (if they don't have one listed, just send 'em an e-mail).  By the way, you might want to spend a bit more and get an Arcade Card Pro; they're not terribly expensive, and then you'd be able to play all the Arcade games as well as all the SuperCD games.

A Japanese Super System card is usually really cheap on eBay. Virtually free, often times, if they come in a lot with other sub-$10 games. A US version is about 10x the cost, which means the mod more than pays for itself instantly, so you are making a smart choice.

An Arcade Card Pro is also a good choice. The Arcade Card games aren't very plentiful, and most of them aren't as good as a lot of Super CD games, but the card isn't that expensive and its worth it, IMO.

Yeah, go for the Arcade Card Pro -- if you went through with the mod, you really should cover the whole base and allow yourself the option of playing ACD games.

I'm not really interested in an Arcade Card Pro; I just need a Super System Card so I can play my Super CD games.

Ha, I forgot all about Strider; I'll have to try that out as well as Sapphire. Looks like I'm sold on the Arcade Card Pro then.
