Tg16 cd docking station question.

I've searched all over the net for this answer. Maybe someone has an answer for me.

I have a tg16 with the cd system/ cd docking station complete and working.

I came across a second CD docking station missing the cd player.

Would i be able to use a pc engine CD player? It seems to look identical. Has the same ports.

I ask because i want to gift the second docking station to a friend.

Thanks for any help in advance.

I don't see why not, as CD wasn't region locked to begin with. Try it out and let us know!

Haha, that was my thinking. But then i remember these older ones required a CD system card. I wonder if that part of it is region locked?

I know the duos didn't need cd system cards. So i was hoping someone had an answer for me. 99$ gamble on the line i guess!

Yes you can, Ive seen it done.

You will need an american cd card.

The cd drives themselves are identical and interchangeable.

Alright will give it a try

Finally found one cheap enough. Spent 75$ total with shipping on a white japense disc system. Hopefully it works!
