NTSC-U SNES games in Super Famicom?

But wouldn't it be easier to just get any kind of adapter so you can use the SNES carts directly?

You're right, it would be easier. I actually have said adapter, but I have height restriction issues in the shelf where the console is so it won't fit with the adapter. I only need to do it for Kirby 3 and Mario RPG, so not worried about the hassle of modding the donor SFC carts.

I just use a game genie. No issues aside from not being able to play mode 7 games.

Kirby's Dreamland 3 and Super Mario RPG both use the SA-1 chip, and have the extra pins. If you're gonna put them in SFC shells, be sure to use a SFC cart from a game that uses SA-1 or the Super FX chip. The PCB and cart shells are a little different from games without special chips.

I don't see why mode 7 would be a problem. That's just when the background scales/rotates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_7

You probably mean games with special chips. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Su ... ment_chips
