hi everybody, i bought a game wizard for the snes , because i was thinking that my european pitfall :the mayan adventure would play on it (because there's no @#$! in it . ) but i doesn't seems work, i don't know how to configuure this thing , and i dont know how to make it work correctly . -could i make my european pitfall work on my american snes with this thing? -how? thx. :-D
Yes, you'll need to get a new(ish) Honey Bee SNES adapter that has 2 cartridge ports. PAL games have a different CIC (security chip) than NTSC games. Thus, you'll need to either replace the soldered chip in Pitfall with one from a NTSC game or get a converter, plug Pitfall on the top, and a "boot" cartridge on the back.
well, my game wizard have 2 slots too , do someone know if a can boot pal games with it? if yes , where do i place the pal game ? i the rear ? or in the front?
Not sure if this has anything to do with it.....but don't certain games also cehck which display frequency the SNES is set for? I know a bunch of my games tell me I've got the wrong version console to play the imports....except teh lockout chip is disabled so I've always assumed this was whats wrong ^_^ Unless I am jsut crazy ¬_¬
It won't work with newer games with more complicated boards, but it should work with at least all games up until 1994. I've never actually used that kind of converter so i'm glad it worked And yes, Thedeathcoaster, some games can calculate whether or not they're being played on the correct video region, the only game I can think of that can do this is Super Street Fighter 2. If you start a game up with the wrong security chip, the game will not start at all.
Super Metroid also has that lockout, when you boot up you'll get an error message "This game isn't designed for your Super Nintendo or Super Famicom" Any idea how to get non 7E/7F codes to work (ROM patch cheats ala Game Genie)? There's some non 7E/7F codes in the manual (for games I don't have) so it does appear to support them. I tried getting some codes from the net to work but no luck... :smt017
if i could i woud post a picture of it , but i don't have nay digital camera and the thing doesn't seems to fit in a scanner correctly :smt043 ill search pictures of it over the web. :smt024 edit: if didn't find it! i search everywhere! on ebay , on goolge , on altavista, nothing! :smt017
Photos Here's some pics: It was sold in the UK and elsewhere as the X-Terminator. They're not too common. To answer my own question above, I tried having another look at it and it seems it doesn't support HiROM ROM cheats...
Oh wow, that brings back memories. I have one of those kicking around at my parent's place. Just like a PAR.
