I really recomend trying a comertial game disc. Music CDs are much more tolerant of error than data Discs. You wouldn't notice if a bit gets flipped when playing a music because it goes by very quickly but a one bit error in reading data could cause problems. When the TG-CD unit reads data from a disc it checks it for errors then sends it to the PC-Engine (or an error code if failed to read). Most games retry reading if the disc fails.
Another thing to check is your system card. I have an arcade card and one of the cheep green/yellow diving board adaptors from TZD and my arcade CD games kept having problems reading the disc. I got a kisado adapter and then my games loaded smoothly. Try cleaning the contacts on your system card and put it in and out of the system a few times and see if that helps.
I hope you get your system running! |

I just tried it and it loaded right up, but only the message regarding the super system card which I don't yet have. But it's SOMETHING. does that mean anything definitive?

I think the system card is ok. it's the US system 2.0 card, I got it in good condition, and like i said, I can play commercial music cds fine, the little turbo amp comes up instantly and all runs smoothly. _________________

I would say the fact that the cd loaded up, is a good sign. But, I'm not the expert here. As for cd lens cleaners, all I know is, for me, it really made a difference! _________________ Sentience is the right of all freedom beings? |
