You can either swap the game PCB into a standard US cart or remove the tabs inside the cart slot inside the console. As for Family Computer to SNES.... Most people opt to just play them on an adapter to NES. I guess you could try a famicom-to-NES adapter on top of a NES-to-SNES adapter. Oh god what a sight that would be. :o --- End quote --- You can use one of these! I sold one of these a few years ago. It was another model, but it was the same manufacturer. That video also seems to show that the adapter runs PAL games at 60hz speed on a PAL system and TV, and that it can handle NTSC games just fine! |

On most modern tv's you can change the mhz from 50 to 60 or vice versa. |

There are a few different companies that make similar adapters, too. So I'm sure you can find an NTSC one. |

Maybe the adapter is what speeds up the game, since I'm pretty sure it has a NES on a chip inside to run the NES stuff. (The SNES CPU is only partially backwards compatible.) |

The "Super 8" is the best solution for this. It has 3 slots: • NES compatibility • Famicom compatibility • A "pass-through" SNES slot which can double as a Super Famicom slot if you don't wanna break the blocker tabs out of your SNES The downside is that the NES part can only use composite video, something common to nearly all NES clones (the sole exeption was the Famicom Titler made by Sharp) |
