vaderag Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 So, my understanding is that PC Engine is the original Japanese name for the Turbografx-16 - same hardware, different box I see Hyperlists for both however... what's the difference? The TG16 list is way shorter, with far fewer games than the PCE one... Just debating which I should put on my wheel (or both) or if i should combine them or not...

Anpanman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 great games on both. install both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styphelus Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 You need both. The TG16 has all the north american games and the PC Engine has all the Japanese exclusives. The PC engine was released in japan 2 years before the TG16 made it to north america and a lot of games that were never released on the TG16. Get both systems.

vaderag Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Okay cool - thanks! Just to be clear - does the PCE list exclude those on the TG16 list? Or should I de-dupe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styphelus Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 It excludes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotgut Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Learn something every day... I'm going to add this as well. I didn't consider it previously because I thought it would be mostly repetitive, with a large number of same games... Thank you for the info!

badboo Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hey, I have both system on my hyperspin, TG16 and NEC-PC engine, one for the Americans and the other for Japanese respectively, and what I found is that the xml lists are different for each version. I even have the TurboGraph-CD and the NEC-PC Eng CD, and the lists are different as well. They are such a cool systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaderag Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Ah man, I hadn't even thought about the pcengcd... What's on there that I shouldn't be missing? I'm really tempted to combine the wheels... Tell me why I shouldn't ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conj Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Awesome, found this thread after searching for something completely different. I always wondered 'Where are the Japanese TurboGrafx games?' now I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissionch1ps Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I hope you don't mind a threadjack. I used to love the tgfx 16. Set it up in Retroarch, but it displays super blurry. Anyone else run into this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboo Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ah man, I hadn't even thought about the pcengcd... What's on there that I shouldn't be missing? I'm really tempted to combine the wheels... Tell me why I shouldn't ?? My advise is not to combine the wheels (however it is up to you), because Pc Eng CD is japanese and turbograf CD is american. The libraries are somehow different, so as well the media and the xml lists. Another thing to take in consideration, is the library for the PCENG CD, which is larger than the american one, so it would be annoying to look for an american games in the middle of a one huge whole list. Well, that's my opinion, but it is your hyperspin and it is up to you how you want it to look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
