Once you physically mod the cartridge slot you can play NTSC games on them? 3. Also is there any issue with using NTSC controllers, memory paks, or rumble paks on a JAP console?

NoE were/are pretty useless when it comes to 'special and limited editions'!

I love how 90's futuristic it looks, so awesome. The Japanese gold model box is in similar style to its NTSC counterpart, so I rather save my pennies for now and get the Toys R' Us edition in the future.

IMNSHO it is much much better is to just remove the entire slot - but you do need a gamebit to open up the console for that. This method does no permanent damage and can be reversed.

But damn those both look so sick, dude.

I have the tools and gamebit all ready. Don't worry I'm not sawing off any part of this sacred gaming temple.. lol And all the Japanese boxes look the coolest in my opinion. Followed by NTSC stuff, then lastly PAL. Most PAL boxes are kinda bland, with the exception of some like Resident Evil 2 and Lylat Wars, those are sick. My absolute favorite box design of all is the JAP Perfect Dark: Hot chick on one end of the sofa, M4 on other end of the sofa... With a blood red finish, lol Edited by TNT737373, Nov 24 2011, 01:13 PM.
