Visual ascetics
Both the US NTSC and Japan NTSC consoles have identical components inside. Only the shell is different. The game Lock out is a physical one.
As the Japanese carts have rounded edges, US are Square shaped with slots for tabs to fit in.
The European system has the same outer case as the Japanese but is set for PAL and has a lock out chip.
Yep, it is less purple and you have to buy an adapter (in my case a Pro Action Replay MK2) to play US games. It uses the same SCART cable as the US SNES. I was going to rebuy some of my US games until I realized that JP games have no end labels. Canât win them all.
It also uses the same AC adapter as the NES/Famicom, which can be handy. SNES is different.
Iâve actually heard you can kill a SFC with a NES power supply. I could be wrong. A model 1 Genesis is what youâre supposed to use.
Ah, I double-checked, it is actually working the other way around. The NES/Famicom can accept the same DC power supply as the Super Famicom. The brick that comes with the original NES outputs AC and shouldnât be used with the SFC (or pretty much anything else). I use the same SFC AC adapter for my NES and SFC.
Well I already knew it had the same video with all the SCART fun stuff. I did the research. TRUST ME. I meant anything ELSE.
MD peeps, anyone looking for an X1?

Iâd hit it up, just need a good excuse to give my wife :D. Maybe if I can sell my current Viera X24 first, it still has the plastic wrap thingies on the tv.
Wasnât thrilled with how he packed it , put tape on the box then put cardboard paper around it which caused some major laminate damage to the box but hell for that price Iâll live .
Picked up SSFIV: 3D Edition for $17.25 from Amazon. May not be the definitive version of SSFIV, but for that price it is a fun portable fighter.
*Please note that it is sold by a 3rd party but actually fulfilled by Amazon.
Thatâs a sweet price on a HRAP2.
Got an iscan HD+ scaler for $10.35USD from local auction site.

Used for upscaling pre-HD and HD material.
Picked up a Big Red Neo-Geo 6-Slot cab today. Needs some work, but the Board, and Monitor are PRISTINE. Restoration thread incoming for sure.
Just came in today while I was working
Stoked to play through this, hope I can endure the crazy difficulty.
Iâd say $115 for an HRAP 2 SA at this point in time is an excellent price!
I know paid a bit more for mine and it was used, tooâŚ
Youâre a braver soul than I. I wish you luck!
After a few hours and lots of restarting from scratch finally decided to go to bed after getting up to stage 4-2. Man this game is brutal, but at the same tine soooo fun.
Will def keep trying. The flip special moves are the key to this.

What did this set you back if you donât mind me asking. Itâs an awesome game.
Picked it up for $60, a bit more than what it was offered for when it was released in Blockbuster.
Shopped around for Sanwa parts and found the best deal (combined price and shipping) from a site called Arcade Spare Parts. Got 8 buttons and a stick (for my PS3 SE mod) for $46 shipped.
Unfortunately, looks like they, or the Hong Kong post office sucks for shipping, as I ordered early on the 1st, and itâs not even due to hit the plane over until tomorrow (the 8th). Doubt itâll get here in time for the first ranbat on Saturday.
