He didn't have NG in 1994 WHAT DID YOU WANT HIM TO DO

I used to have a tut. on it, but I've lost a lot of hard-drives since then.

IIRC, you would first have to actually buy a chip. Cheap then, but I doubt you would be able to find them today. Not too sure about this, but there needs to be hardware (chip) that 'converts' the NTSC signals to PAL and vica versa.

I payed a guy to do it for me and he mentioned that he soldered it onto the motherboard.

[fredthefro]

could you give me his info(if its ok) to see if i can get the details off him. this would be great.

You don't know how right you are.

[Emperor-Bubba]

why do you want to chip it when we have emulators now ?
do you just prefer to use the original, cause god knows once in a while i fire up the old mega-drive and play through all my sonic games (and dynamite headdy, that game rocked)

[CabbageClock]

a friend of mine was able to play Japanese games on his megadrive by just taking the 2 sides off the cart itself.

[Gheyz0r]

No kidding? I wonder why it was so simple, jeez.

[Interwhat]

Or you could get it on emulator, considering you own the console?
