Switching region chips on nintendo 64 cartridge

Hey guys,

I have a question, i live in a PAL region area and i have a copy of the ntsc version of ''Starcraft 64'' , i got it cheap but it though of doing the complicated piggyback mod for 2 regions chips on 1 console.

I read somewhere that it is possible to replace the ntsc region chip inside the cartridge with a PAL region chip from a PAL cartridge.
I though that this might be a better way to go, since i only have one ntsc game wich is starcraft..

Can anyone confirm this method and tell me if it is possible and so how?

Thanks alot guys

 

Did you consider getting a passport III? 2 cartridges plug into it. The one cartridge is for the region of your console and the other is the game that you want to play from the wrong region. The great thing about the passport is it has the game shark or action replay cheat engine also. I forget which cheat engine it has.

 

hey dude! hmm okey okey, i will check it out, but even so would still be cool to swap the chips, as its only one ntsc game i have, and i have alot of pal games.

 

yes it works

 

allright, will get a torx soon and check it out , will report back soon, thanks guys
