    Right. Went down another route (in getting famicom games playing) so trading this away. Its kinda cool/interesting. Not looking for too much. Mostly interested in NES and Saturn(mainly) stuff.

    fyi..allows you to play Famicom games on your SNES. Not perfectly, but it does a decent (?) job.

    I used it twice and it works and it's like new.

    Is that designed for the euro or us Snes?
    Only asking because the Snes pass through looks like a square us shape.
    It's no problem, it'll still permit the use of local games but, coupled with a modchip, it would mean you can play everything without slicing into the Snes casing.... Like I did!

    Fair enough, would have been a sweet bonus though!
    Have you ever tried a US cart in there?

    Hopefully that's it. I only ever used it on my us snes that has region and 50/60hz switch. I would imagine its working cause it looks like a fairly solid built thing :)

    I used it like 3 times then boxed it by my snes until this weekend. I could take it back and test but that'd be a we weeks most likely.

    Eh. Good question. I have no idea tbh. If you google it you can see pics of it on an NTSC and PAL SNES.

    Ah yeah. Problem is theres a pal and a ntsc version. So it depends which version this is.! May have a lend of a snes psu to test. (If my mate can find it)
    update: just tried it on another tv , you can see ut try to start with a garbled b/w screen , then black , then the same attempt at a screen.
    Hopefully its just down to it not being the right ampage (the snes psu is 1.5 amp whereas the nes is 1.3 not much more but the NES psu might be just to little) if I can get my hands on the snes psu at the weekend I can let you know
