Anyone know a GOOD universal adapter for the SNES?
Isaac Fox:
I recently bought an SNES, and there are a lot of games I would like to get for it. However, my most wanted is the masterpiece known as EarthBound, which I was unlucky enough to be born in a country where it was not originally sold. What's worse, though...
I was already aware of the alternative designs of the console depending on the region it's sold in, but what I didn't know is that each design uses a physical form of regional lockout.
I bought the PAL version of the console, which looks like this...
Also, note the shape of a PAL cartridge from a North American cartridge. (Except the additional chips)
The shape of the North American cartridge would not fit into a PAL console, so I need a good universal adapter in order to play the game. However, I've seen videos demonstrating this, and that certain adapters would still not work for certain imported games. Does anyone know a good adapter I could find that would run EarthBound on a PAL console?

if you bought a cartridge then couldn't you just emulate it?

the forget's the point of buying the actual thing to play the actual thing if you're just going to emulate it?
