For Japanese PC Engines, it&#8217;s a little more complicated &#8211; Japanese games don&#8217;t check what region the hardware is from (hence the ease of running them on US\/EU systems), but American games do. There are several US-released games that don&#8217;t do this check, though they are few and far between. As such, a Japanese system has to be modified to play US games on top of needing an adaptor.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Region Free with circumvention utilities Unlike the later add-on of the Turbografx-CD which was region-free, the Turbografx (aka PC Engine) itself was not, though this problem can be worked around with the aid of an adapter that simply goes into the slot, exchanging a couple of the pin-out settings around and letting Japanese HuCards work.
