Hi, there!
Supposing I'm going to put some roms on cartridges:
The TV system at my country is PAL-M (different from japanese PAL). So I'm supposing native consoles follows this system.
So, what are the problems I can have in putting NTSC roms to play on PAL-M consoles? We had national versions of the original NES, and carts are plain compatible, but I dunno. And the national consoles plays whatever you put in them (China, Japan, USA carts...)
Thanks in advance.

Er, Japan used NTSC.NES virus wrote:(different from japanese PAL)
The only real difference, hardware-wise, between an NTSC cart and a PAL cart is the lockout chip, and that itself isn't tied to a specific video format, but to a specific region. If you 'de-chip' your console (instructions can be found elsewhere), you can use any cart you want.

PAL-M is used here in Brazil. I import everything in NTSC and it works fine without any restriction. Anyway, my NES is a compatible console, released around 1989/1990 as "Phantom System". I could include pics if you're curious enough for that...

Hmm... maybe I'm confused about European system. dunno.
So, if the only difference is about the lockout chip, them I won't have any problems, since my console doesn't has this limitation.
Fx3 -> Yes, I have the Phantom System too (awesome console!) But at this moment, I'm using Turbo Game, that dual system from CCE (Conserta, Conserta, Estraga) but it's very good too.
Thanks for your replies guys!
