Wanting to buy a turbografx, need some pointers please!

Unless you mean just the actual CD player part...

You are literally the first person I have ever seen describe otherwise.

It looks as if all the pins are there and if you could just get a plug adapter or make one yourself.

I don't expect anyone would try to fit a TG-16 into a PCE IFU or vice-versa...

someone's on crack but it ain't you

I tried to make it fit!



I wonder if an RAU-30 would work...

Speaking of an RAU-30,
Thinking of getting a SuperGrafx sometime in the near future, and I've been offered a RAU-30 for $25 (excl shipping).
Good price?

See, that's the thing. A PCE would likely fit in the US CD unit if the plug wasn't slightly different. A TG would probably fit in the later PCE CD unit too other than the plug. Then there's the RAU-30. I wasn't even thinking about the briefcase unit like your picture which obviously won't work. But there's so much PCE/TG hardware it can be confusing. Hell I replied while distracted and confused myself a bit, then added on the end of my post.

For someone who has never dealt with the NEC stuff might think that it is all interchangeable. That would suck to read "the US and Japanese CD units are interchangeable", hop online and buy a bunch of stuff, then find out it doesn't work together because of a misunderstanding.

Perfect price.

There is also a plastic part on the right side of the PCE IFU that prevents the TG from going in. You'd have to cut it off. I'm not doing that!!!

That's why people new to NEC should just buy a Duo. You don't have to find a system card. You don't need a go-between unit. You don't need to make sure your unit will fit into the go-between unit. Duos are simple!

I mean, here is everything you need just to get basic CD functionality out of a regular Turbografx-16 (switch AV cables for RF, though!). This won't even let you play all the CD games! You need a better system bios card for that...
