So, I have a TG-CD with Super System Card 3.0. I also have an Arcade Card Pro.
Since I don't have a Duo, I was wondering if anyone could answer these questions with any certainty:

What happens when you power up a Duo with:
-no chip in the slot?
-a TG-CD System Card 2.0?
-a Super System Card 3.0?
-an Arcade Card Pro (using a converter or region-modded system)?

And also, has anyone actually tried to use the Arcade Card Duo with the TG-CD? I'm assuming you get the same "not enough memory" message you'd get with versions 2 or 3, but I'd just like to know if anyone's tried.

Nice questions.

Quote from: kid_rondeau-no chip in the slot?
It boots up the Super System Card 3.0 screen.

I'm pretty sure it boots up the System Card 2.0 screen. I haven't tried it myself, but I'm fairly positive on that because I remember people who do this so they can check out the cool wrong system card screen for games.

Quote from: kid_rondeau-a Super System Card 3.0?
Again, I think it boots up the card.

I know a few people have down this, nodtveidt in particular, and I think it works overall. On the other hand, it seems like I recall there being problems when booting it up with a converter.

I think this also has been discussed here before. I wasn't aware there was an actual message that says "not enough memory"; that's pretty cool!

I believe that the Arcade Card Duo doesn't have the system card functionality on it. I'm pretty sure that you only get a white screen on anything other than a Duo.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

Only certain converters. The Kisado works fine.
