If you are looking for something to do, check The '''[[GetInvolvedgametech:TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine|PC Engine]] page. There's also a '' ('''PCE''') was an 8-bit system released jointly by [[wikipedia:Nec|NEC]] and [[Talkwikipedia:GetInvolvedHudson Soft|GetInvolved talk pageHudson Soft]]in Japan on October 30, 1987 and in the US on August 29, 1989. It was retailed for {{Inflation|USD|399.99|1987}}. It had a Hudson Soft HuC6280 8-bit CPU at 7.16 MHz and 1.79 MHz with 8KB of RAM and 64KB of VRAM. The CPU was teamed up with a 16-bit graphics processor and 16-bit video color encoder chip, both built by Hudson Soft. When it came time to seek other potential markets, the two companies eventually caved to a limited American release in 1989 under a completely different model and name: the '''TurboGrafx-16'''. The European versions varied throughout the countries, being the western version in Spain and United Kingdom and Japanese models in Benelux regions.
<!The joint venture, formed in North America as TTI, made an add-on called the '''PC Engine CD''' ('''PCE-CD''') / '''TurboGrafx-CD''' ('''TG-CD''') that loaded games from discs instead, much like the Sega CD but better supported. The '''PC Engine Duo''' / '''Turbo-Duo''' combined the add-on into the unit with more RAM as yet another failed attempt to relaunch the failing console in the West. When it first launched in North America, the TurboGrafx-16 was largely seen as a failure blamed on poor marketing by the manufacturers. The PC Engine, on the other hand, was a whole different story, beating out the [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Famicom]] when it first came out long enough to compete against [[Super Nintendo emulators|its rival's own successor]] and gave little focus for the [[Sega Genesis emulators|Mega Drive]] who was instead posing more of a threat to Nintendo in North America.*** If you want NEC planned to enhance the system further, announcing the "PC Engine 2" that would later become the '''PC Engine SuperGrafx'''. However, it was rushed to a 1989 market in Japan lacking much of its promised features with only seven titles exclusively made for it, ending up a commercial failure to add be binned and discontinued not long after. The '''PC Engine GT''' / '''Turbo-Express''' was a very rare handheld model of the original hardware, in the same vein as the Sega Nomad (a new topic use portable [[Sega Genesis emulators|Sega Genesis / Mega Drive]]). It did include some exclusive features like the TurboLink multiplayer feature (used in games such as the flight sim called ''Falcon'' and ''Bomberman 93'') but wasn't widely supported. ==Emulators=={| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"|-! scope="col"|Name! scope="col"|Platform(s)! scope="col"|Latest Version! scope="col"|PCE-CD (TG-CD)! scope="col"|PCE2 (SG)! scope="col"|[[libretro|Libretro Core]]! scope="col"|[[Emulation Accuracy|Accuracy]]! scope="col"|<abbr title=MyTopic "Free/Libre and Open-Source Software">FLOSS</abbr>! scope="col"|Active! scope="col"|[[Recommended Emulators|Recommended]]|-!colspan="10"|PC / x86|-|[[Mednafen]] <small>(YYYYPCE-MMAccurate)</small>|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux|macOS|FreeBSD}}|[{{MednafenURL|releases/}} {{MednafenVer}}]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||High ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}}|-DD|[[MAME]]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux|macOS|FreeBSD}}|[http://www.mamedev.org/release.html {{MAMEVer}}]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||High ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}}|-|[[Mednafen]] <small>(PCE-Fast)</small>|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux|macOS|FreeBSD}}|[{{MednafenURL|releases/}} {{MednafenVer}}]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||Mid ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}}|-|[[BizHawk]]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows}}|[http://tasvideos.org/BizHawk/ReleaseHistory.html {{BizHawkVer}}]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✗}} ||High ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}}|-|[[higan]]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux|macOS|FreeBSD}} |[https://github.com/higan-emu/higan/releases {{higanVer}}]|{{~}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||? ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{~}}|-|[[Turbo Engine]]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows}}|[http://aamirm.hacking-cult.org/www/turbo.html 0.32]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✗}} ||High ||? ||{{✗}} ||{{✗}}|-|[[MagicEngine]]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|macOS}}|[http://www.emuparadise.me/emulators/files/user/Magic-Engine_1.1.3-952.rar 1.1.3]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✗}} ||Mid ||{{✗}} ||{{✗}} ||{{✗}}|-|[[Ootake]]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows}}|[http://www.ouma.jp/ootake/ {{OotakeVer}}]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✗}} ||Mid ||? ||{{✓}} ||{{✗}}|-|pcejin <small>(Mednafen 0.8.x)</small>|align=left|{{Icon|Windows}}If you want to respond to a topic add |[https: before your text//github.com/TASVideos/pcejin Git]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✗}} ||Mid ||? ||{{✗}} ||{{✗}}After your text, add |-|[https://web.archive.org/web/20071206014650/http://www.dridus.com:80/~nyef/darcnes/ DarcNES]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux|macOS|FreeBSD}}|[https://segaretro.org/DarcNES 9b0401/9b0313]|{{~}} ||{{✗}} ||{{✗}} ||Low ||? ||{{✗}} ||{{✗}}|-|Neco|align=left|{{Icon|Windows}}|0.11|{{✗}} ||{{✗}} ||{{✗}} ||Low ||? ||{{✗}} ||{{✗}}|-|[http://takeda-toshiya.my.coocan.jp/ ePCEngine]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows}}|[http://takeda-toshiya.my.coocan.jp/common/index.html 8/12/2017]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✗}} ||? ||? ||{{✓}} ||{{✗}}|-|[[FinalBurn Alpha]]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows}}|[http://www.fbalpha.com/downloads/ 0.2.97.43]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||? ||{{✗}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✗}}|-|[http://zeograd.com/ Hu-Go!]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux}}|[http://zeograd.com/hugo_download.php 2.12]|{{✓}} ||? ||{{✗}} ||? ||? ||{{✗}} ||{{✗}}|-!colspan="10"|Mobile / ARM|-|[[Mednafen]] <small>(PCE-Fast)</small>|align=left|{{Icon|Android|iOS|Linux|Pandora}}|[{{MednafenURL|releases/}} {{MednafenVer}}]|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||Mid ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}}|-|PCE.emu|align=left|{{Icon|Android}}|[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.PceEmu 1.5.43]|{{✓}} ||? ||{{✗}} ||? ||? ||{{✓}} ||{{✗}}|-!colspan="10"|Console|-|[[Virtual Console]]|align=left|{{Icon|Wii|WiiU}}|N/A ||{{✓}} ||{{✗}} ||{{✗}} ||High ||{{✗}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}}|-|[[Mednafen]] <small>(PCE-Fast)</small><ref group=N>Only available on consoles as a libretro core (e.g. [[RetroArch]]).</ref>|align=left|{{Icon|PSP|PS3}}<br>{{Icon|Wii|3DS|WiiU|Switch}}|{{MednafenVer}}|{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||Mid ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}}|-|Hu-Go!

Despite being CLI-based, a fork of an older version that has a GUI has emerged called pcejin. [[RetroArch]] uses the PCE-Fast core for its beetle fork.;[[Ootake]]:It's okay for general purposes.;[[MAME]]:Has a <code>pce</code> driver <small>(and a child driver called <code>tg16</code>)</small>. In all revisions it emulates, MAME reports it as working and the graphics as okay, but the sound is imperfect.;[[MagicEngine]]:Unfortunately trialware that costs €15 euro.
