Pal Nes Clone In A Ntsc World

[speedmike]

Alright,

So I was in Thailand a while ago and I bought a funny nintendo multigame clone for about 10 dollars. Its called pocketgame or something... I can't remember and I am too lazy to go look at the correct name. It looks like a ps1 and has Pikachu on the console.

Without thinking about NTSC and PAL I bought it and brought it home... Later to find out that it is PAL B. That's not such a big problem I can always get a converter or what have you considering I am NTSC, but here is my question which I probably already know the answer to.

In order to play more games on this console I would have to

a. buy the Famicom to nes pin converter
b. buy the pal to ntsc converter
c. buy Pal nintendo and Famicom games

If I have to do part C I think I'll leave it in the closet for a long time but if I don't have to buy PAL games for it than I can leave my nes at my apartment at school and bring this system home for use in the summer....

So, to and my rambling I'm asking if you guys think I need to buy PAL format games for it considering it is a Pal B console? I assume that I would have to.

Lik-Sang Pin Converter

but it also says this in the link above:

Play American NES games on a Japanese Famicom

Play European NES games on a Japanese Famicom

Can be used in combination with the Gameaxe or Tristar64 to play any region Famicom/NES games



I've very confused :lol:

i can sell you one of those convertors. The convertor goes into a famicom then you put you american or european games into that. I got some convertors for the pocket famicom. So let me know if you want to buy one Also if you want i can sell you one of those pocket famicoms as i got two They have a wee screen on them

 

[junker]

i don't know anything about famicom converters and the like..what is the pocket famicom?

 

[speedmike]

The only way I would get a converter is if it could play ntsc games on it. I don't want to buy PAL games for it... or with the converter would I be able to play NTSC games on it?

Cause if I go on ebay there are PAL nes and Famicom games, so I assume that there are PAL and NTSC carts for the famicom/NES. Unless those people are nucking futs and don't know what they are talking about hee hee, but I'm pretty sure it won't play NTSC games ever

according to benheck.com some old NES carts were simply famicom carts in converter
