    SUPER HD SYSTEM 3 PRO

    Posted by Jake on Nov 15th 2021

    While it is fairly pricey, this is one of the easier to setup flashcart/ODE that exists on the market (not that the others are hard, but the device is very drag-and-drop). The only thing I would warn someone purchasing this device is that you REALLY need to make sure the CD game files are in a .CUE and .BIN format or they won't work. Oh, and the HDMI out and RGB out are awesome and look great. Couldn't be happier with this product.

    Great product, some digital assembly required.

    Posted by Ryan Olive on Nov 13th 2021

    If you've never used flash carts or FPGA based hardware emulation, be prepared to do some research to get this working. SAG support is great, but to get this running without already knowing might require the less impressive Terra Onion support. They'll direct you to their barely moderated discord where random users can either help or hurt you for free.

    Once you get all the required firmware updates and software, you're in for a great time. The picture running through hdmi looks outstanding, the sound is great, and the colors really pop. They're not at 100% software support for CD games, but a good majority seem to run as intended. Hucard games don't need to use the fpga so those all work perfectly.

    If you have a TG16, PC Engine, or Core Grafx but no means to play CD games, this might be for you. It works great for both HDMI and S-video. Just keep in mind it's only plug and play for Hucards. Playing disc games takes some work, you might want to pass on this if you were hoping for something quick an easy.

    I've never used a device like this before. I was mocked on the discord for not knowing anything beforehand, but eventually got my unit running Turbo CD games. It wasn't exactly a pleasant experience, but thats on Terra Onion and not SAG. I probably won't look to Terra Onion in the future unless they improve their customer support.

    It's also worth noting that the SAG units were shipped by Terra Onion with glitched firmware and must be updated using Terra Onion's website. As I mentioned before, not plug and play. They're also patching, fixing, and adding things as time goes on. They've been promising NES support, but there has been no release date confirmed at the time of this review.

    Great Item. 2 caveat

    Posted by Andrew Gist on Nov 11th 2021

    1-The color is awful. I know it is probably due to supply shortages that we only got a semi-opaque blue, and not colors that match the consoles. So hopefully shells will surface for sale at some point.

    2-Doesn't boot with a turbo ever drive in the hue card slot. Which is a bummer, cause I hate the look of an empty hue card slot, and LOVE the look of the TurboEverDrive.

    I did some testing, played Cotton, and everything works great otherwise! The perfect way to make those CD games last, and preserve them for play for even more generations to come. This is a NA TGF16, it IS a tight fit, but still fits and works.

    SHDS3 Pro

    Posted by Brian Thomas on Nov 11th 2021

    This product is a must for anyone interested in the amazing pc engine library or anybody with an extensive collection they want to preserve. Simply rip your cd-roms and drop the correct files onto a sd card and you are done. The supergrafx (and now NES) support is a cool bonus. Lastly, the HDMI signal on this thing is better than any other option I have tried so far. Combine it with the scanlines that don't suck and this is now my preferred way to play, on a big 4K TV. I have an rgb crt Duo setup and I truly and honestly think this thing looks better.

    Almost perfect

    Posted by Ernest on Oct 27th 2021

    If I could give it 4.5 instead of 4, I would. This is pretty incredible stuff. The video output is pristine, the sound is great. It was fun finally playing Daimakaimura on almost original hardware, due to the SuperGrafx support. My gripe comes mainly from the shell. While electric blue is one of my favorite colors, it doesn't match the hardware at all, but the main issue is that the holes aren't aligned quite right on mine. Once that microSD card goes in, the lip of the shell stops it from coming out. I had to slide a razor between the shell and the card to get it out, which isn't good. Additionally the shell was offset slightly so getting the HDMI in was almost impossible. I'm likely going to shave plastic off from those ports with an Xacto knife.

    What smells like blue?

    Posted by Mark Haromi on Oct 26th 2021

    I myself will still be keeping the older model for the SuperGrafx as it is a bit of a waste to use the new HD PRO on it, The New HD PRO is really amazing, I have another SuperGrafx now by plugging this into my TG-16 or CoreGrafx adding 720P HDMI out thanks to new FPGA support in the device, Correct the PCE color with the new RGB palette decode right from the HuC6270 hardware itself, then Add an mClassic to bring her up to CRYSTAL CLEAR PERFECT COLOR 1080P.. Enjoy new FPGA cores to install to play other consoles on our TG-16s. With the Avenue pad 3 and 6.. I cant wait to see the potential of this. This thing also has game cover icons for the browse menu which is so nice. If you are a NEC owner or fan, buy one, enjoy the full library of this gem system including CD games, you wont regret.

    Works like a dream

    Posted by Jeff on Oct 20th 2021

    This thing does it all. If you have a pc engine and want to play all the great games this system has to offer get it! Considering the cost of buying everything that you would need to play what this is capable of doing the price is actually a good value. My only nitpick is the blue plastic looks kind of weird with the OG white pc engine and the core graphics 2 the grey and blue core graphics model looks good though. Wish it was grey or white but that's just my preference.
