Thanks for the advise. feel like i kinda shot myself in the foot being stuck with the jap engine. will check out the games when funds allow/ the girlfriend. would you guys recommend going for the cd add on. being as i've got JAP machine.
No, you didn't mess up. It's great that you have the CoreGrafx. HuCard games are often given little attention because of the CD library, but there are many Japanese HuCards that are fun and well-worth your time.
When you get the cash, consider the SuperCD-ROM upgrade... then you can play all the CD games you'll eventually begin to lust for. I have a DUO already, but I want to get a SuperCD for my CoreGrafx.
You chose wisely!
