    the mod is easy, I've never seen an adapter, the mod also makes it easier to get pal games to load

    Yes very easy, cut pin 4 on the "10NES" chip. Google cut pin 4 10NES and there will be pics, youtube clips etc. I have this done to mine (Australian PAL), but note not all NTSC (as in American games) games will work, I have 1 or 2 that refuse to work (allthough they could be faulty, but have no way of knowing as I don't have a US console).

    it's the best you'll get without ridiculous work. ntsc games iirc will stay 50hz. :(
