Sep 2006 at 20:28 There are quite a few titles released only on the other side of the Atlantic that I would like to pick up. How would I go about playing PAL(A/B) NES games on my US NES Toaster? Thanks, Carl

I have did this and it works great =)

Works great I also use the needle trick, just bending out the leg on the chip until its disconnects. It doesnt matter what you use as long as the leg is being disconnected from the chip.

No, since both the PAL and NTSC NES uses AC 9v you can without a problem use a US AC adapter on a PAL machine and vice versa. I've used my PAL AC adapter on a US toploader without any problems. The AC adapter wont give out more than 9v regardless if its 110v or 220v in the socket.

You might experience trouble using the RF-out, but just use A/V and it should be fine

Your right, i was about to mention that. For some reason PAL machines uses 2 different plugs on the AC adapter. After my knowledge and experience only the NES consoles that are bought in Scandinavia got a different plug. I've used my SCN AC adapter with my toploader and that worked without a problem. I dont think i've tried a german or french AC adapter with it, but the SCN one fits and works perfectly atleast.
