The record

Purpose: TurboGrafx-16 CD / PC Engine CD for the MiSTer platform.
Accuracy: The core has a rewritten CPU and VDC for cycle accuracy.
System support: It supports CD-ROM and Super CD-ROM, CD+G, Arcade Card, SuperGrafx mode, and backup memory saves.
Controllers: Supported controllers include Turbotap, two-button and six-button joysticks, mouse, pachinko controller, and XE-1AP analog controller.
Additional features: The core includes Street Fighter II and Populous mappers, Memory Base 128, a cheat engine, and CHD support.
Memory: The core may work without SDRAM using onboard DDR3, but the project warns that DDR3 latency can cause issues or glitches and recommends SDRAM for maximum accuracy.
Installation: Installation instructions say to copy the .rbf file to the SD card root and ROMs to the TGFX16 folder; precompiled binaries are linked from the repository's releases folder.
CD image formats: CD-ROM images must be BIN/CUE or CHD, stored in individual folders under TGFX16-CD, alongside the required BIOS file.
CD+G limit: CD+G works only with CloneCD-format games and is not supported in CHD format.
Compatibility limit: The project warns that enabling six-button, mouse, or other specialized controller features for unsupported games can make them work incorrectly.
Save support limit: Memory Base 128 provides extra storage only for a small number of games.
Origins: The repository describes this as a MiSTer port of Gregory Estrade's FPGAPCE, with contributions from several named developers.
System modes: Supported modes and systems include CD-ROM, Super CD-ROM, CD+G, Arcade Card, and SuperGrafx.
Extra features: The core includes Street Fighter II and Populous mappers, Memory Base 128 storage, a cheat engine, and CHD support.
