So, little question for anyone who might know. My SNES broke a few years back and I decided to replace it. For whatever reason, a standard Super Famicom is far cheaper on eBay than any SNES I can find (too many produced???) so I bought one instead.
I've heard some shit about not using cartridge adapters, that it could damage the console or something? I have no idea as I'm unaware of any SFC to SNES adapters though I would imagine they exist seeing as there's many of the inverse.
It's hooked up and working fine but I'm obviously only able to play my imports right now. I'm not going to the trouble of opening up games. So, just shave the door/some plastic off or what? If there's an adapter and nothing wrong with it then that input would be appreciated, thanks.
use a game genie or something

Who cares if it gets damaged? You can literally buy a brand new one for 50 bucks.
Why wouldn't you use an adapter? Get a Game Genie and cut it down to fit in the SFC's slot then you have an adapter and cheats too.

I don't know how it could damage the console. I'd imagine you could find a basic pass through adapter that does nothing but remap the pins. You can also just take apart the console and play without the top on. Not pretty, but it'd work.

I don't know why I said remap... The pinout is the same.

That won't work with every game, though. GGs don't have enough pin connectors for some of the games.

UFO then
Just take it apart and take the dark grey bit off. Either that or just get a pal shaped super everdrive and play everything off that.

Tricky part is finding an adapter that will adapt all the pins so games that have extra chips like Starfox, Super Mario RPG, Yoshi's Story, Megaman X2+ etc. work.
Many only adapt the most commonly used middle pins and not the extra two sets of pins on each side of that.
Buy a Super Everdrive / SD2SNES
