PC engine?

The spendy adaptor is also almost impossible to find. It's called a.... well, I forgot, b/c I never had one. Basically, if you want to play Japanese Hucards that bad, just buy a Japanese PC-Engine or Core Grafx. They're very cheap, and not that heavy. I'm sure you could get one around $50 shipped if you're patient and know where to look.

There are other adaptors but they're apparently all terrible. Again, never used one, but I was pretty active on a couple of PC-Engine forums for a a few years, and that fact was voiced over more than a few hundred times.

 

My bad, it's the PC Engine that needs to be soldered along with the card adaptor. I always get the two mixed up.

 

If I can find a cheap TG16 im modding it up to play Japanese cards. Chances are your right though I should just look for a PC Engine.

I just love to mess with my hardware, I cant help myself.

 

Any websites with directions on how to do this simple pin swap to the tg 16?
