Hello, does anybody here know how to region switch mod an NTSC SNES? I've seen tutorials for PAL SNES's, but I have an NTSC one so yeah. Is this even possible to do? EDIT: I'm wanting to mod my SNES so that I can play the PAL Super Mario World, it runs at 50fps and Mario is faster, also for PAL exclusives.
where can I get one of these and around how much do they cost? EDIT: Just googled it and it doesnt seem to convert the PAL signal to NTSC
What PAL signal? you have a NTSC console with NTSC signal. Just by using a PAL cart doesnt make it output a PAL signal. Switches isnt going to do anything different to the supercic regarding signal/refresh rate.
Oh ok, I'm still a noob at modding, so a SuperCIC is my definitely best option? EDIT: I just read something about just disabling the CIC (Lockout) chip but desoldering pin 4. It also said to possibly add a switch to route it to +5 or ground so that later games can play like Super Mario RPG. Soldering things like that is more up my alley, but I've never been good with switches, how would I go about routing the pin to "+5" or "ground"? Sorry for noob questions :/ EDIT 2: Here's a link to a website with instructions and pics of disabling the lockout chip. It doesn't have pics of adding a switch though: http://www.gamesx.com/importmod/sneslockout.htm
SuperCIC is better. A lockout mod by itself has limited compatibility because it keeps your console at 60hz. 50hz optimized games may have issues, and some games block 60hz.
Also if you aren't using rgb scart (so composite or s-video) you will need to modify it further to lock the video encoder to suit the pal signal. Ah good times.
