Hey everyone, it's me again.

I jumped on here curious about region-specific areas with the old NES and SNES.
I'm from Australia so I use PAL, but I was wondering, could I buy games from the UK (also PAL)
and have them working on my NES or SNES?

I know that NTSC will simply not work (unless we have master hackers or some port) but I was hoping that
I could get UK games working on my consoles. You see, unfortunately ebay items in Australia
only have a limited amount when it comes to games, but bigger (well in population) areas like the UK
seem to have a lot more variety.

Thanks!

Hmm before buying something, ask to the vendor if they accept returns in case of the cartidge doesn't work...

We also use PAL in Arg but I think TV were made to support any format (I have a NTSC DVD Player and it works excellent in my CRT TV but if I wanted to connect to my PC I'd have to but an special decoder)..

Thanks for the feedback FCx.

It's hard to tell from ebay, as many if not most of them don't have a return policy.
I guess I could ask them however if it will work on my NES, but I think I have to commit
myself to buy first. I guess it's worth a shot with a game that isn't so expensive.
I've been wanting to make my collection bigger, and ebay Australia only offers so much,
but I have found some gems through them.
