They should load up just fine. Provided they arent adjusted for PAL TVs (which i dont think any of them are) they should run just fine too. If they have been, you could lose the top and bottom of the image.

If not, it was nice knowing you.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I'm thinking specifically Golden Axe Warrior. Can anyone confirm?

I bought my copy today. I can test it out tomorrow and see if its full screen or if its letterboxed. If it's the latter (almost definite) than it'll be fine on a US system. Honestly, I think the only risky SMS games are some of the bigger cartridge brazil only games like street fighter 2 which are iffy on some US model one master systems.

Thanks! Appreciate it! Can't wait to get this game, and hopefully it'll arrive in time and work fine on my PBC.

It's letterboxed as expected. I imagine it'll run just fine.

On that note, my copy also still saves. Sweet, I'm set for January.

January will be fun but February is what has me psyched. I need to get a PSX>DC adapter so I can use a fight stick for Soul Calibur.

I'm really surprised you don't have an Agetec stick.

Looks like I'll be playing Wolf 3D on the Jag (cause hey, why not?)
