Right I have a US snes, I have the bits I need to mod it, I have good instructions courtesy of mmmonkey, now if only I could pluck up the courage to take the damn thing apart. What I?m wondering is, how hard is it? I?m particularly worried about lifting the legs on the chips. Is it easy to fry the chip with the soldering iron?

Well I have a few uk games a friend passed me, so I was going to do the whole 50/60 Hz switch and security lock out chip mod thing as well, so I could play just about any game on it. Check out

For more info if you?re interested.

I also sucessfully used a 1k5 resistor (instead of the 2k2 that mmmonkey used).
Hope this helps

Cheers guys I think I may do it sometime next week if I get time I?ll let you know how it goes if I?m not to chicken.
Originally posted by SuperfamifreakYou need the resistor with the 50/60Hz switch. You don't really need a switch for the region for most games. Even with a switch there are a few titles that won't work properly. Most notably Super Mario RPG.
Anybody any ideas on the converter thing, I would really rather not take a soldering iron to it if it can be helped.

Originally posted by TripitakaNot sure about this, I thought the switch was to flick it back to the default position so you could at least play domestic games, do you mean you couldn?t play an import Mario RPG but you could a domestic one, just checking.
I'm pretty sure Hoshi No Kirby 3 has the same problem.

Originally posted by billy_dimashqi did a few uk snes's way back when, and they do pal50/60, but if you do the same thing to a us snes, does it do pal50? i'd have thought that, seeing as it's ntsc, it'd do some freaky ntsc 50hz thingy? do tell guys, do tell
