Does anyone know if Game Genies are compatible with any region?  I assume they are not, but I've never tried.  I would give it a quick try but I'm using a toploader and game genies don't fit in there.  If someone has a game genie from a different region than your hooked up toaster NES, could you check if the game genie works on there?  

Thanks! :)

My UK Game Genie fully works in my US NES frontloader (no clipped lockout).

I used my Game Genie on the Toploader using an adaptor, playing a Famicom game using another adaptor & it seemed to work fine.

So basically I had 1.) a Game Genie adaptor, 2.) a Game Genie, 3.) a Famicom adaptor, & 4.) a Famicom game all stacked up onto the Toploader. :P

They are compatible iirc, game genie converts some code and makes it possible to play the games.

Thanks guys!  I was wondering because I might be able to buy 50 NIB German/Benelux Game Genies for cheap, and was thinking of then putting them up on various eBay sites including PAL-A and NTSC regions.  

Be careful, they don't sell for much even new in box...  :)

Well, I got them for less than $2 a piece including shipping (which took a large chunk), so it's not too bad.  Maybe I could even use them to trade for accessories I still need, although I do doubt that ;)

I might need one :) I probly have 2-3 of them, but none is CIB. I'll keep it in mind that you have alot when i need one ;)

Have any pics of that?  It would be fun to see.  It reminds me of the Genesis when you use: 32X + Game Genie + Sonic and Knuckles + Some other game

Sorry - I don't have a camera - a decent one, atleast.
