@malBOROkid Yes, the new Ikari Switchless mod we do allows 100% of all games to be played – even those with SA-1 chips such as Star Ocean, Kirby 3 and Mario RPG.
Hi there!
I have two japanese games here: “Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius” (aka Parodius 2) and “Super Robot Taisen Gaiden: Masō Kishin – The Lord Of Elemental”. Those have the SA-1 chip and PPU frequency check, much like mario RPG I think.
I tried the ad-29 adapter (upgrade version) and the PAR MK2 (firmware 2.x) but the screen just stay black, it does not even blink.
Will your switchless mod make them actually work?
thx.
Cool… I wish every country would have the same plug, it would get alot easier. A couple days ago i ordered a Snes controller from you. Maybe i will buy another Snes console(modified) from you later on. Iam 100% sure the switchless modified Snes on this video can play NTSC ..but can this one and the other console with 50hz/60z switch that you have in stock play japanese cartridges?
Some games containg the SA-1 or S-DD1 chips have additional protection which detects whether the CIC chip is still present and won’t work if it is disabled, so yes, it is neccessary to re-enable the lock for some games.
I may be missing something here, but why would you want to be able to switch the region lockout on and off? Why not modify the board so that the region lockout is permanantly off and can’t be switched back on again? How do you widen the game pak slot? Am I missing something obvious that’s staring me in the face?
Yes, we always hold at least 10 of each console at any time, and always ensure we never run out of the very popular consoles (SNES, MD, MCD, SAT, DC & SMS)
@vinze007 Yes, the Ikari Mod we do allows all SA-1 protected games to run.

does this allow you to play games like jikkyou parodius?and the other later games with custom chips?
Just bought my pre-modded snes. Can’t wait to get it

My SNES should arrive at your doorstep any day now. I’m very excited

Great!
Brilliant mod! I’m sending my SNES to you, very soon…
If you hold the reset and change into the mode where region lockout is disabled it will let you play imports, so yes.
So would holding down the reset button with this switchless mod installed in my PAL SNES allow me to play games such as EarthBound?
Yes, it plays Jap & US cartridges.

Yes it will.
British SNES have a different AC adapter unlike here in Sweden. Will that modified Snes work with a Swedish AC adapter?
Cheers Rob!
Excellent video guys, and a fantastic mod!
Hey, can i modify a Japanese Famicom (not the Jr one) with a 50/60Hz switch to boot PAL games like SM All Stars and run them in 60Hz?
Thanks.
No, you can still use the RF output, although a scart will give a much better picture.
hey, if I mod my SNES, would I need a SCART cable for it to display correctly?
how can I get the SNES link with the flat-panel monitor
OK, no worries then!
thats nice and all but I have the american SNES so I honestly dont need any modding done except for the cart slot
