PAL SNES To Play On American TVs

[radtastic89]

Hello I'm wondering if there is a way to play a PAL SNES on an American tv? If there is a mod of some type I would gladly like to hear it.

You can run an external PAL to NTSC video converter box, or hack the games themselves as roms then play them on a flash cart. I think the Powerpak has built-in compatibility for PAL games on an NTSC TV, tho that might just be the region lockouts.

Edit - Maybe this is what you're looking for

The SuperCIC mod would probably be a better choice as it'll allow you to play games from any region.

If your TV supports PAL it will work off the bat.

If not, mod it for a 50/60hz switch (only basic soldering skills are needed) and you can force your PAL SNES to output at 60hz (which will display on a 'American TV' without any issues in most games).

Well PAL color could be an issue too.

Also for the 50/60HZ I heard that it just changed the picture and not the sound. Is that true?

[theclaw]

That depends on the game. Games not programmed for 50hz speed will slow down their music.

That sounds like an awful lot of work. I'd just get an NTSC SNES.
