    Mani Super Famicom

    Can anyone tell me the story behind the Mani Super Famicom from Hong Kong? Was it an official system? I was up in the loft over the weekend and found an old box with a different design and a dual language manual. It has the product code HW-SHVC-HKG on the manual, SHVC-S-CD-HKG on the box along with 'MADE IN JAPAN' and from what I remember was a PAL system.



    Can anyone help me out here?

    I've got a Japanese Snes that apparently came from Kong Hong which has switch on the rear that lets it output NTSC/PAL.

    I've had a look inside it and there's extra circuitry mounted on the heatsink.

    I do have the box somewhere in the loft - next time I'm up there I'll take a look.

          Never heard of NTSC-M,J yes (DC,GC etc..) but not M.
          U for the States aswell. The last letter is normally the region code,so by that list your telling me that a game i bought in Nicaragua would work on my Japanese Dreamcast.

              Yes i know,its TV standards and then the last letter is normally the region code that console manufacturers put in.
              ie J-japan
              U-USA.
              So seeing M was something id not seen before after NTSC.

                NTSC-M is United States NTSC. I believe the Japanese version is identical except that the black level is 0 IRE instead of America's 7.5 IRE (although that could be the other way around).

                  NTSC-J just means a Japanese region game, nothing to do with the TV standard.
                  NTSC-U means a US region game.

                      I've been doing a bit of looking and discovered that there was another version of this released in HK - same box design & console, except it was a Super Nintendo and that one seems to be switchable. Strange.

                        Which must be the one I have.

                        Is it rare?

                          Well I've never seen one before. I'm pretty sure this one was bought from Megacom in Nottingham when it came out.
