One more thing, if …
One more thing, if one tries to use a converter with a Japanese PC Engine, it will not work because of an extra lock out chip that was implemented in the PCE to check the region of the HuCard. When it comes to TG-CD games and PCE CD-ROM2 games, they have no region lockout, so it’s okay to play a TG-CD game on a PCE CD-ROM2 add-on and vice-versa. One last thing, I’m a good friend of lukemorse1, so if you need help with anything, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help in any way I can!

Hi MN12BIRD! The …
Hi MN12BIRD! The reason why the North American HuCards won’t work with the Japanese PC Engine and vice-versa is because out of the 38 pins on a HuCard, specifically pins 15-17 and 19-23, where pin 18 is ground, are flipped between US and Japan region HuCards. There are converters for the TurboGrafx-16, but they rare and hard to find. These converters merely flip the pins on a Japanese HuCard, allowing the TurboGrafx-16 to read them. Great videos by the way!

Bit of a shame …
Bit of a shame your’s look really dis-coloured, that’s what’s put me off buying one with the C.D, the vast majority of them are dis-coloured.

then the pc engine, but that is just my opinion

One of your best reviews and THE best PCE review I ever saw.
Awesome! Keep it up.

I highly recommend Kato Chan & Ken Chan for the PCE. That game cracks me up every time I play it.

The PCEngine’s …
The PCEngine’s processor was four times faster than the NES’, twice faster than the SNES’, and almost as fast as the Sega Genesis’. It was very powerful for it’s time.

The Super CD add-on …
The Super CD add-on is definitely a must have to see what the PCEngine was truly capable of. I mean, games like Castlevania Rondo of Blood and Lords of Thunder look almost like new games that just came out today or something.

It makes me wonder what the insides of the TurboGrafx looks like. I’m guessing it’s just a lot of empty space?

I love my PCE and when it’s combined with the Super CDRom unit there’s not a single retro console that’s better.

Fascinating insight …
Fascinating insight. It makes me wonder if I could find a bunch of side scrollers to pick up for the PC engine - but if only I knew japanese! !
