How to play on an SNES:
--------------------------
A lot of people have been asking about this, so I think I'll
put it in this FAQ. It's really not that hard to play the
actual game in a SNES, rather then a Super Famicom. First
of all, if you don't want to be risky, and don't know what
you're doing, buy a SNES Converter. You can buy these at
imports stores for about $15. I've seen these sold at
www.gamecave.com. If you don't want to buy the converter,
and want to void any customer service option you may have,
then read on. :)
1) Take your controllers and wires from the back off of
SNES. Look inside the slot where the game goes in on
the top. You should see something like this:
_____________________________________________________
| |1| |2| |
| _______________________________ | |
| |______________________________| |
|_______ ________|
|___A___|____________________________________|___B___|
2) You'll have to find a way of cutting tabs "A" and
"B" out (these tabs block a Japanese game from going
into the SNES). I recommend using a Knife, Screwdriver,
and wirecutter combo. :) If you knife away at the
slabs, they'll eventually be cut, making it easy to
pry them out. They are very tough, though, and it
might take awhile to do it, but it's worth the hard
work. :)
3) I have no idea if the small tabs "1" and "2" have
anything to do with it. I have cut mine off, however,
and they're easier than tabs "A" and "B" to cut off.
4) Once you have everything cut off, try a putting a
Japanese game in the system. If it fits into the pins,
it worked. Otherwise, you'll have to keep cutting
away at the tabs until it fits.
5) Enjoy a Super Famicom game. :)
