Sorry, I must be blind or something. But I couldn't find anything for modding PAL SNES Consoles so that they can playing Imports. Is there a guide out where I can see what I have to do and what I need?
Thanks! And please don't beat me if there is anything like this already around :lol:
Not sure if there's such a mod here, but check out www.mmmonkey.co.uk, you can find a mod there.
(Is it allowed to post external links?)
Of course it's on GameSX. It's an old old page though, so the pics are a bit blurry:

Don't forget to do this mod if you want to use import pads on a Euro SNES:

And yes, external links are always fine, even if it's a slap in the face to me, a brutal insult, a loud declaration that I'm not good enough. Fuck you! <cry>
Hmmm...

This mod will disable the lockout chip in the SNES, which normally prevents games from PAL territories working in NTSC territories.
But I want to run NTSC Games on PAL Consoles or is it the same way to mod?
It's the same chip doing the same function in both machines.

I know you're being sarcastic here, but I didn't know there was such a guide here. If I had known about your mod, I would have linked to it instead.
Don't worry seldane. I know my mods can't always be the best*, external links are encouraged if they do a better job than my own pages.
*or even sometimes**
**like, ever.
I'm not patronizing you but your mods are the best Lawrence infact I modded a some of my friends sega saturns to play imports by using your switchless/switchmod guide and also I'm planning to mod my sega saturn pad to USB but I don't have the USB pad to salvage the chip :) yet
I bought a already modded SNES at eBay (50/60Hz & Region Free Mod) so that I can see all wires and Chips in real to make my own mod easier.
I opened the SNES (modded) to compare it with my own SNES (unmodded).
What should I say? The PCB is completly different. The modded one is from 1992, my own is from 1995.
Is there any possibility to mod my SNES too?
Here's a picture of both PCBs (as you may notice, left: modded / right: unmodded)

You have a 1-chip version, obviously, which is the newer board revision.
I think there are threads on this forum that deal with the modability or not of that board. Do a search.
Where? :(
There's a little button at the very top right of the page that says Search with a little magnifying glass. Ask that.
I'm sure using a Soldering Iron on one of those chip legs will just carry the heat straight into the chip and burn it out?

Errrrmm..... no :)
