is there any way to get around this message (on PAL SNES Metroid & Illusion of time), the problem is that i'm not playing them on a PAL snes (in fact i'm playing them on my n64 but thats another story) the n64 is a PAL unit (same message on the usa n64 though)
i seem to remember that you could get a convertor or an action replay type thing that could play these "locked out" games.
Can anyone advise
Here is the rig i'm using although i've got the super gameboy in to play gb tetris on the n64.
Yea there were convertor cartridges that had two slots on, you attached the locked out game on the top and plugged a correct region game into the back of it, then the whole thing just slotted as normal into the snes, eBay is probably best bet

^^^Theres one, and woohoo contra is something of a bonus
On a separate note, what the hell is that in the picture, and can i have one?
what u on about kjun? the adaptor in the n64? yes of course you can have one m8 its called a tristar 64 and it works on pal and usa n64's. it has built in action replay for n64 and allows you to play n64 (must be same region as game), snes, nes and gameboy/super gameboy (using a super gameboy) whilst its mainly aimed at the jap market you will need a pass through adaptor for usa snes games (pal and jap are fine without) and a pin convertor for nes games (its a famicom game slot).Originally posted by kjun

the tristar should still be available on the net, the menus are mostly in jap (i'm not even sure what 2 options do) but the first 4 are easy
1) play n64 rom
2) play sfc (super famicom) rom
3) play fc (famicom) rom
4) cheat cart (not sure if it works for sfc/fc but it works for n64)
5)?????
6)?????
the text in the cheats section is in english (except the bit that tells what the buttons do) and its pretty easy to use.
i believe the tristar is made by www.cd64.com but i'm not sure, it is ONLY compatable with composite video as the tristar plugs into tyhe av out on the n64 and the n64 av lead plugs into the tristar so if you want one make sure that your tv can handle a ntsc composite signal (many cant
hope that helps
here is a close up with mario64, super gameboy (+tetris) and a 190 in 1 nes cart plugged in
and a side view (with the famicom-nec adaptor visable)
the white button is the action replay button (to activate certain cheats)
doh forgot the pic

I knew the S Gameboy existed but that thing has three carts plugged into a N64 - What is that?!!?!
it's called a tristar64 (as detailed above) allows you to play n64, snes/sfc, nes/fc and gb/gbc (with super gameboy) on any n64, basicly it shoves into the n64 cart port and the n64 multi-out port then you connect your composite n64 lead into the tristar, plug in a n64 game (of the correct region) and whatever else you can cram into the other two slots
the n64 is so much more powerful than the old snes/nes it has absolutly no problems running their games at full speed (even superfx/dsp/custom titles)
if you happen to have a venus+6 (nes) or pro fighter(snes) lying aroundhell, it even runs the fdd-022 nes floppy drive (in fact the nes floppy drive adaptor props up the pro fighter quite nicely
ok Gel, i know i shouldnt do this as it may upset you
but here is a pic of
a pal n64 with a tristar plugged in with a supergameboy plugged in with the nec pc engine adaptor plugged in, hope that doesnt make you cry
(oh and dont ask about the pce adaptor, it REALY isnt available (if fact its got half a hot glue stick holding it together) but before you ask the tiny switch is for us/jap game selection (and yes, it is flashable using a gb xchanger(pc) or multi-xchanger(psx)))
and thats assuming that you dont have one of these....
called emulator z for playstation it loads roms off cdr's (even on an unchipped psx) to allow you to play sega master system/gamegear and pc engine roms on your psx
PCE adaptor!!!!.......feck.. I must of been asleep for the last ten years.
Heard of the tristar but didn't know what it did, seen the psx thingy before as well
You get all the nice toys ABC
W.O.W.
Now thats a console
Im gunna have to get me one of those emulator z adaptors, would love to play gunhead again with a pad.

ok, now this realy is taking the pi$$
here is radar rat race for the commodore vic 20 running on an emulator on the pc engine (15 in 1 mega collection for those who know) running on a pc engine emulator on a super gameboy which is itself emulating a gameboy colour and is itself an emulator (ok a hardware one) plugged into a snes, except of course the snes is actualy also an emulator running on a nintendo 64.
so thats
n64 running
snes running
supergameboy running
pc engine running
vic 20
hehe and they said the xbox was good for emulationand i'm sure you all saw the gameboy emulator running (two games at once even) without the hardware gameboy adaptor all on the good old n64, now those realy were the days.
photos can follow if anyone is interested
bonkers, madness, crazy, insane
never knew the n64 could do all that! i kinda seem to recall mame running on it, but cant remember what it was like stability wise. would love to see more shots of crazy configs. im assuming these most require original cards/carts ?
not always, if you have a back up device you can use that instead.Originally posted by monsta

I can probably find you a link to someone selling a rudementry (homemade) flashcard for a real pce if you can get hold of one of them.
