The other day I realized the easiest way to play North American games on my Super Famicom was to just undo the top. This led to a talk with a friend of mine (who lives in Pal Land) about how the PAL SNES and NTSC systems handle each other's games...as in they don't Some games just don't boot others display a message saying it's not compatible with this system. On You Tube I saw switch mods that adjust 50hrz and 60herz but also a region switch. Then there's the Honey Bee Converter that requires a Pal game to play an NTSC game.
So was there more than just a physical region lock on the SNES/SFC or were games programmed to interact with a CIC chip in a certain way?
