The Arcade Card Pro also works on these systems, so this would be a useless card if it wasn't much cheaper than the Pro.Īll CD games are region-free. Can only be used on the Duo line of systems and the Super CD-ROM2 add-on, as they already had 256KB (1.5MEG) RAM built in. Arcade Card Duo -added 2MB (16MEG) of RAM. The video quality with this blows away anything on the Sega CD. All the Neo Geo fighter ports used this as well, and blow away their SNES/Genesis counterparts. Arcade Card Pro -added over 2MB (17.5MEG) of RAM. Super System 3.0 -had 256KB (1.5MEG) of RAM total. If you have the 2.0, you probably won't notice a difference. System 2.1 -slightly updated the system BIOS again. Basically useless except it is required for Altered Beast CD. PC Engine Duo-RX (same as the Duo-R, but has a slightly different colour scheme and comes with a 6-button controller instead of the standard 2-button) PC Engine Duo-R (same as the Duo, but looks different and lacks a headphone jack)
PC Engine Duo (combo cartridge/CD unit with the Super System Card 3.0 upgrade built-in) PC Engine Super CD-ROM2 add-on (same as above, but had the Super System Card 3.0 upgrade built-in and looks completely different than the original unit. You need a special attachment to get this to hook up to the Super Grafx or LT.
It also came with the System Card 1.0, I believe). PC Engine CD-ROM2 add-on (came with the IFU or sold seperately. Only 7 games took advantage of this 5 of which ONLY work on this unit). PC Engine Super Grafx (upgraded PC Engine with more RAM and other improvements. It can only be powered with an AC adapter. PC Engine LT (sort of like a GT, but with a flip-top screen like the GBA SP. PC Engine GT (same as the Turbo Express a handheld PC Engine) PC Engine Shuttle (same thing as Core Grafx, but looks way different and has no CD-ROM connector) PC Engine Core Grafx II (same thing as the Core Grafx, but with a different colour scheme) PC Engine Core Grafx (same thing but with AV-out and a different colour scheme) System 3.0/3.1) -this added 192KB of RAM for 256KB total System BIOS Cards (they are backwards compatible): Turboduo controllers work on all PC Engine systems and vice-versa. *note: TG-16 controllers are NOT compatible with the Duo or any PC Engine system. Turboduo (combo cartridge/CD unit with the Super System Card 3.0 upgrade built-in) Turbografx-CD add-on (which includes the IFU of course, and the System 2.0 Card (called the System Card)) In the US, the released systems were the: (actually that is an Arcade Card Pro in the PC Engine above) Additionally, the compatibility guide at PCEngineFX is very useful ( ). Since the Turbografx/Duo/PC Engine series of systems can get a bit confusing, I did up a quick guide that should answer most questions.
