Hi, My JP SNES/Super Famicom just arrived today and it works fine, But I´d like to be able to play US NTSC games on it too. I was looking for adapters but I didnt find the right one, I only found ones to put in PAL SNES and US SNES, but none for the Super Famicom. Can someone please link me to adapters I can buy or tell me how I know it´s the right one, since many shops just dont label their adapters at all? Bonus points if I can easily bus it from a german reseller, so I don´t need to wait 5 weeks for it to arrive.

Hope someone can help me out here.

So the problem is that most people do this the other way around - most people buy a US Super Nintendo and simply cut out the little plastic tabs to play Super Famicom games. I honestly don't know if there is a solution to do this the other way (a quick google search reveals this is not a common thing asked about). Given the shape difference, a US SNES has more than enough room for the smaller SFC carts, but I don't think an SFC has enough width or "square-ness" for a SNES game. You could probably hack the sides of the console down in the cartridge slot, but that seems like an annoying amount of work.

I tried looking for some adapters and I can't find anything I'd reasonably trust, or anything that was super affordable. In all honesty, you're probably better off just buying a US SNES, it's probably easier and cheaper to do that. This is actually what most people recommend on various forums I've checked; they always recommend just finding a US SNES instead as it tends to be cheaper and easier than any other solution.

The even better option would be to buy an SD2SNES flashcart with a SFC shell, but that will cost a couple hundred USD.

I know that my Nakitek Game Saver can do that without problem. I bought it for the savestate function way back but it works fine with both us and jp games.

Here someone listed more options but I'm not familiar with most of them: https://www.reddit.com/r/snes/comments/3arb0u/snes_to_super_famicom_via_adapter_questions/csfl23g/

Thanks a lot. So I saw people mentioning the action replay thingy. I still have one lying around from my old pal SNES, is this one going to work for us games in s JP SNES too, or do I need a different one? I'll add pics later, for whatever reason I can't just add pics to my post here....

Edit: Uploaded the pictures to Googledrive, hope that works. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lnyJpCAQ4Omb1NCqRymn5U_154KPoHYQ?usp=sharing

Buying a US SNES isn´t really a great option, since there are only very few available in germany and they´re either broken af or waaay to expensive, like 250€ for a proper one. I got the JP SNES for only 60€.

As far as I know the Pro Action Replay has no region protection, so you can use it on PAL SNES as well as SFC. But you should be able to try that on your SFC anyway.
