So just bought a PAL SNES today, and I was wondering if anyo

Don't bother with repros. If you are going the route of unofficial releases, get a flash cart instead.

Can I play NA releases on an EU SNES? If that is the case I could care less about repos, as long as I get to play the game on the original hardware I'm good.

import adapters / converters exist, generally within the range of £20-40 on ebay.

not an expert on them though so would recommend you do some research before buying one.

No you won't.

Dont be a tool, just get an everdrive

I have a PAL Snes with an SD2Snes flashcart and it can play all roms - PAL, NTSC and Super Famicom with auto-region patching.

>>3969832
Usually the best adapters are those with two slots where you insert a cartridge of the same region and the one to convert / play.

>>3969741
How much are these flashcarts these days anyway?

>>3969818
Generally it involved modding the console, one physical mod (file the case a bit) so US carts would physically fit, and two mods on the electronics (one for disabling the region lockout chip, and another to enable 50/60 Hz switching). Not sure if much has changed, but if you want a PAL SNES to work with as many US titles as possible and output 60Hz, these need to be done I guess (and some games such as Mario RPG probably won't work still).

alright but why did you even get a pal snes in the first place
unless huge borders and massive slowdown in games is your thing I really don't see the point

>>3974708
NTSC games are too fast, the music pitch is all wrong.

Still expensive
>still no GSU-1/2 (aka SuperFX) support
>SA-1 not even on to-do list

>"it can play all roms"
Well, apparently not quite "all" of them.

>>3974708
Tbh I always perferred F-Zero PAL to NTSC, as in 60Hz the steering is way too twitchy and it's somehow very hard to position the vehicle perfectly straight. Anyone else has such experiences? Or is it just a matter of habit/adjustment resulting from having played the PAL version for years?

>>3974729
i think it varies from game to game really. i think the slowdown on the snes is unbearable. on the mega drive it's a bit better, some games on there like streets of rage 2 have been optimized a little.

>>3974724
Okay so maybe not ALL roms, but almost all roms.

>SuperFX
The SFX games that are worth playing (StarFox/Wing, Yoshi's Island) are pretty cheap to buy the actual cartridges.
>SA-1
~30 mostly obscure Jap games, plus Kirby's Dream Land and Mario RPG

And it plays everything else, which is like 99% of the SNES library. Expensive? Yes. Prohibitively expensive? No. Worth the price? that's up to you to decide. For me it was worth every penny.

Australian here, just get a SFC from Japan for ~$40 and a genuine or knock off everdrive. If you want to play the 3d/SA games most of them can be had from Japan for $10

>>3969818
>Can I play NA releases on an EU SNES?
Usually. Some roms have region protection, usually Japan only games (though the Yanks can still play them on their SNES)

Anyway, flashcarts are worth it and if a game won't work on PAL then there won't be a repro of it, so no need to worry. Since you brought up Chrono Trigger, I can confirm the Burger version plays on PAL on my Everdrive SNES cart.

Hang, stupid question incoming;

If I play an NTSC ROM on an unmodded PAL SNES via flashcart, will it run at 60Hz?

>>3975385
No.
Framerate is controlled by certain PPU pins being connected to either ground or +5v.
