Wanted: PAL carts
by on (#47108)
PAL carts are very rare in Canada. I managed to score 3, but they were very expensive.

Does anyone have any good leads for PAL carts that are cheap (around $5)?

Perhaps british eBay? Extra WIIIIIDE URL

The best thing I guess would be to find someone selling a big lot so that you can save on shipping.

Are there any PAL titles in particular that you're after?

So NTSC NES carts are very rare in Switzerland. The fault of a lack of any common adapter/import decive that allow you to play NTSC carts without using a screwdriver. Import games for SNES, Plastation series and Gameboy series are common here.

A lot of PAL games also use different game code too, for the different screen size and refresh rate. So basically they are totally incompatible unless you mod the system.

I think importing is big in Europe since they always get games after the North American market :(

mark_k,
Just cheap sports games for their cases and CIC chips.
