I've read on the gamesx wiki that the SNES PAL controllers are compatible with the NTSC console.
About the NES PAL controllers I didn't find any information :(.
So, the NES PAL controllers are compatible with the NTSC console?

Thanks!

AFAIK, the pal/ntsc  controllers are the same thing.  They may look different but the act the same.  Same chip, actually the nes can work with the snes and visa versa if you can wire in some logic for extra buttons.

I know that Ulao. The problem is NTSC SNES controllers are not compatible with the PAL console.
Here is the link http://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=controls:snes_con_region_fix.
PAL controllers have some resistors and NTSC don't have.
I will wait if someone know for sure if the NES PAL controllers are working/compatible with the NTSC console.

At least, I find some informations here: http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=1841.0
It's nice to know that NES/SNES NTSC don't have that "lockout-chip" for the controllers.
I've tried the NES PAL controller and is working/compatible with my NES NTSC.
So, case closed ;D
