Syscard3.pce Download
I had a hard time finding the few working emulators, so I post the results here.
Download ZIP Launching GitHub Desktop. If nothing happens, download GitHub Desktop and try again. Launching GitHub Desktop. Syscard3.pce: 262144. The first thing you need to do is download the BIOS syscard files. I have them right here: PC Engine CD Syscards (429 KB) Extract “SYSCARD3.PCE” from my Syscards zip file. Rename it to “syscard.pce”. In Windows, navigate to Ootake's program folder: OS (C:) Program Files (x86) Ootake. Register now and enjoy. Ad-free browsing; Rom recommendations tailored to you (the more roms you rate or add to your collection, the better the recommendations become). Pc engine cd/turbo duo/turbografx cd list bios emulators WoWroms your website to find and download all roms for GBA, MAME, PSP, DREAMCAST and many others.
First, you need the game itself: http://doperoms.com/roms/turbografx_16_ ... 9.rar.html (32 MB)You may also need a CD BIOS: http://emu-russia.net/en/files/bios/tgcd/
Then you need an emulator.
I tried the emulators from these pages:
http://www.zophar.net/tg16.html
http://www.zophar.net/multiem.html (Only those that mention TurboGrafx)
Those I could get to work are:
Hu6280
-- http://www.zophar.net/tg16/hu6280.htmlYou have to press F11 (the menu does not work) and select the ISO file.
The problem is that it is too fast.
Mednafen -- http://www.zophar.net/multiem/mednafen.html
You need to copy the file Super CD-ROM2 System V3.00 (J).pce (from the bios package) into the emulator's folder as syscard3.pce.
Then, pass the path to the CUE file in the command line.
Those that don't work:
* DeePCE -- Does not support CD games.* DPCE -- Does not support CD games.

* TG16 EMU -- Does not support CD games.
* Hu-Go! -- Crashes when I select the ISO. (Segmentation Fault)
* Magic Engine -- Supports real CDs only.
* Ootake -- Copy the bios as 'SYSCARD.pce'.
Create a folder in the 'install' folder named the same as the CUE file (without extension), and copy all game files there.

The BIOS starts, but it says 'LOAD ERROR!' when I press enter.
* Project PC2E -- Supports real CDs only. It seems that Ootake is based on this.
* PCejin -- Copy the bios as 'pce.cdbios'.
Tries to open some file called 'Prince of Persia (U).bin'.
If I create an empty file with that name, then it says 'WARN: 0 fewer than pregap (150) sectors in track 2'.

* PicchioEngine -- Does not support CD games.
* TGEmu -- Does not support CD games.
* Turbo Engine -- Shows an error: 'Error while loading CDROM game. If you are using a physical CD drive, make sure there is a CD in it.'
If I delete all tracks from the CUE except the second: it shows an error message about the 'File Cabinet', and then shows black screen.

* VPCE -- Does not support CD games.
* SmartGear -- Does not support CD games.
* YAME -- Does not support CD games.
* BizHawk -- I didn't try this one yet.

It is unknown which region or version it is from and is not No-Intro verified, which indicates it is not a perfect copy, but it should be found fairly easily and is what lr-beetle-pce-fast was developed with. |

It is important that the image file (usually .bin) and the CUE file (.cue) match.
CUE files are just text files containing a description of the CD. If you have files named like:
then ensure the first line of the CUE file contains:

Any of the following are wrong and will not work:
Advanced Configuration
If you are from the United States, it is likely that you had the TurboGrafx-16 rather than the PC Engine. If you want EmulationStation to show the TurboGrafx-16 logo instead of PC Engine, then you can change the file in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
from
to
Note: these above changes to es_systems.cfg with be overwritten when updating RetroPie and you can find more information about this here.
Switching Emulation Station to the TurboGrafx-16 logo:
If you are from the United States it is likely that you had the TurboGrafx-16 rather than the PC Engine. If you want EmulationStation to show the TurboGrafx-16 graphics instead of PC Engine then you should create a file /opt/retropie/configs/all/platforms.cfg with the following contents (note this requires at least v4.1.6 of the RetroPie-Setup script).
Once this is done, please update any of the currently installed PC Engine emulators from RetroPie-Setup and Emulation Station will now use the TurboGrafx-16 logo. Scraping from within Emulation Station should also return TurboGrafx-16 artwork.
