Description

All:

Following on Reddit the community would like to have the TurboGrafx 16 and the TurboGrafx CD games separated. Currently they reside in the same roms folder. This is a very similar situation to Sega Genesis and Sega CD, so it would make sense to me to separate.

People are finding ways to make it work but an official #separation would be great.

Here is one of the threads:

Thank you!

Research direction

Start by locating the TurboGrafx 16 and TurboGrafx CD system definitions in the RetroPie-Setup scripts, then compare them with the existing Sega Genesis and Sega CD setup. Confirm how ROM folders are assigned and verify that setup and launch behavior keep the two systems separate.
