I have an NTSC console, will I be able to play the game on my console? A previous owner "modified" the cart recepticle to eliminated the bumps that prevent non-US carts from being inserted, is that all that has to be done to play imports?

This is such a cool deal, thanks a ton.

This may just turn into a "pay it forward" kind of deal. Let's see what I could pass on.....
Not pressuring you to do it or anything, but I think paying it forward would be a great idea! See how many time we could pull this off before someone stops... that would be VERY interesting!

thanx all for participating, I am glad all of you are excited although there is only 1 winner.

I can't find an NTSC-U on it, but it says for sale only in USA, Canada, Mexico, and Latin America.
I forgot to mention the region, I never looked, everything is imported here so I took it for granted that this is NTSC-U.

Send me your shipping address on pm.

Plus any one give me an idea on how to pack this?
because under bubble wrap it won't stay in mint condition, its cardboard.

Ack,
wats a boot cartridge? I got a converter (pal->NTSC) but it doesn't work, I just slide in the cartridges. Am I doing something wrong?

Find a sturdy box that's at least 1 inch (2 cm) bigger in each dimension so there will be at least 1/2 inch (1 cm) around each side. Wrap loosely in bubble wrap to cover all sides, then tape it up and it should be fine as long as it doesn't get drop kicked along the way. :)

PM sent!

I've had good luck with emptying the box, opening both flaps and flattening it and placing the cart on top of the flattened box and shipping it like that in a large envelope. Better off, put it in a larger box with bubble wrap or wadded up newspapers for stuffing around it. The US postal system has great boxes the right size for shipping a VHS tape which work great, don't know if you have anything similar available there.

BTW, where are you located? LOL!

Actually, if you google search Bahrain, the first thing that shows up is a google map of the beautiful island.

Looks absolutely gorgeous.

Boot cartridges usually have to be plugged into the back or somewhere onto the converter. It helps the converter fool the machine into thinking the game it's about to play is from a different region.

btw, any one can help.
What can I use as a box that is slightly larger than an N64 game box to ship the game in?
