menacegtr Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Hi to you all again. All my problems so far have been fixed as a result of coming here, so i thought i would ask about my Turbografx 16. I have the full usa rom set but i would like to add some jap games that i would love to play like Gradius jad version. Is there a way i could do this easily, can you have a mixture of usa and jap games together? Don't forget i am a complete noob into messing with files. If it is a whole heap of trouble please say and i will forget it. If it is possible can you please advise exactly how to do this. I apologise if this has been asked before. Thanks for any help Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyverjay Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 just get the pc engine database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacegtr Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Ok thanks for that, can I get that from here and do I need to set up a jap pc engine to play my roms or can it just work with the database I have already after I have got the pc engine database. Sorry in other words can I put both database's in the same folder.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyverjay Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 https://hyperspin-fe.com/files/category/1015-databases-xml/ You can either set up PC Engine as its own system or open the PC engine XML file and coipy and paste what ever games entries from there into your Turbo grafx xml file For example you'd copy this: <game name="Gradius (Japan)" index="" image=""> <description>Gradius (Japan)</description> <cloneof></cloneof> <crc>0517DA65</crc> <manufacturer>Konami</manufacturer> <year>1991</year> <genre>Shooter</genre> <rating>Other - NR (Not Rated)</rating> <enabled>Yes</enabled> </game> to your turbografx database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacegtr Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Bless you. I will give that a try and report back. One thing do i have to supply all the relevant data such as the year and so on. I know the name has to be correct but what about clone and so on, how did you get the info you have supplied me. If i want to add more roms is it just a case of changing the rom name to the one i want to put in Thanks for your help Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyverjay Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I got that info from the pc engine database which I linked to above You don't have to have all the fields but its easy just copy and paste the entire thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacegtr Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yes thanks for that, i just noticed the link you supplied. Tell me please, is it best to just copy and paste the games i want into my US version database, or can i put the pc engine database in its own folder? I don't plan on having a seperate pc engine setup. Again, thanks for all your help Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyverjay Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 You would only put it in its own folder if you were setting it up as a seperate system so just copy and paste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacegtr Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 That's great, thanks for that. One more thing on this matter. Will i still be able to put jap box art in same folder as were the US stuff goes, in the Images folder, and jap videos in videos folder so i still get a working wheel with the main US games and a few of the jap games i want to add to the wheel. Would be nice to see the cart art and a video. Cheers my friend Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyverjay Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 That is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacegtr Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Thanks, works great. Not tried doing the art or videos yet, will do in a bit. I asked this question yesterday but no one has replied yet. Hope you might be able to help me. I asked I have another little niggle with the turbografx 16 in Hyperspin. When I launch from the magic engine emulator, it works fine, the right mouse button enables you to config the emu, adjust all video setting, scanlines and so on. Now when I launch through Hyperspin it loads games no problem, but when I press right mouse button to config the games, it goes straight back into the hyperspin turbografx menu wheel. How can I get around this, with little knowledge of hyperspin i am a little stuck That was the question i asked. I cannot configure the games video setting because magic engine goes to config each game with the right mouse button, so every time i do that it takes me back to hyperspin. Have you any idea?

guyverjay Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 To be honest I do not use Magic Engine, I use retroarch with the mednafen core. However youi can go into global settings for the magic engine module (assuming you are using rocketlauncher) and adjust settings there You might have better luck asking the question on the rocketlauncher forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacegtr Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Ok i will try in Rocket launcher, any idea. Again am sorry but i am very new and learning, learning fast though Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
