Re: PC-engine duo/cd questions

following these questions I would have one about game compatibility. Because of all the different name I am not 100% clear. I did some research but could not find the perfect answer to my question.
Here's the deal: I have a Japanese system PC Engine Duo R, and I would like to know if my system can play the US CD and the US SCD games? (without any modification or adapter).

Does anyone know for sure what's working?

CD games have no region encoding. All Turbo and PCE CDs will work on any other system as long as you have the right system card or support from a Duo as needed.

I use a SuperGrafx with Super CD ROM 2 attachment, and both are RGB modded. The video cable comes out from the Super CD ROM 2 unit, so I would assume that you would have to get the Super CD ROM 2 RGB modded. Maybe you could get away with not modding the Super Grafx though.
