NTSC NES games that work only in 60Hz

NTSC NES games that work only in 60Hz

Once you disable the lockout chip in NES, there will still be some games that don't work... only difference left is 50/60 difference. Or there's more than that ?
I have a PAL NES, and I'd like to know what NTSC games won't work on it after the lockout chip disable mod.

Also, is there a simple(like SMS, MD for example) 50/60 mod for NES ? My Famicom clones have 50/60 jumpers on board...

I've never done the 50/60 mod for the SMS, but here is an old file you could take a gander at:

All games will "work", exept maybe a few homebrew demoes that does the NTSC/PAL check and lock if it's the wrong speed. Altrough many of commercial games would have glitches in graphics as a result of improper speed. Use the ROM in an accurate emulator like Nintedulator or Nestopia set in PAL mode to predict the result before getting the cartridge.

Actually, running a Battletoads cart on the "wrong" system will make the game freeze when starting the first level. I'm sure there are other games that are unplayable as well.

game genie only works with NTSC... pro action replay only works with PAL

Well I guess in theory you could solder a pal ppu and cpu onto the old ones and put a switch between them. (you'd also need to do this for the christals as they run of of different speeds I heard, not 100% sure on that though)

Is "jims cool" Jargon's new account? This is a lie, the game genie works perfectly on PAL.

Unless there are different versions of the GG for PAL and NTSC.. But yeah, Galoob released the GG in europe as well and it worked just fine on a PAL NES. I probably still have mine in a box somewhere that I bought in 1992 or whenever it was.

maybe because i've heard reports of it not working or not working correctly anyway... i don't have PAL so i was going by ear next time i'll note that.. pro action replay doesn't work with non PAL systems tho right?
