PAL games on Famicom?

[uroko-sakanabito]

I got TGL today and i want to play it on my sharp twin famicom...

Is this possible ?
What do i need ?

Um...what's TGL? I've heard of TRL.

Anyway, I just popped in PAL Banana Prince and it worked fine. I don't think the Famicom has the same lockout features as the NES. And you'd think if pirates would work, PAL would. You might have some problems with image speed. Hmm...I wonder if Elite would work? Isn't that one of the games that doesn't work on a clipped US NES?

EDIT: Nevermind. I saw your other post about TGL.

Elite doesn't work on the Famicom. Its too bad too..Elite was one of my all time favorite Commodore games.

that's great !
then i can play TGL (Guardian Legend / Guardic Gaiden) in englisch and in 60 Hz full screen

not sure...you would have to just try it. Elite doesnt work because its wireframes dont correspond to the scanlines. Or something. I would imagine others would work okay.

I tried to place a Pal game in the TwinFami; it does not fit ^^
But i have buyed a adapter cart and TGL work perfect !

Hi everyone. I hope I'm asking this in the right section but I was wondering if pal NES games work on the famicom with the adapter that allows you to play North American NES games.

Thanks.

Last I heard, the Famicom was regionless. I think that's right. Partly depends on the TV you use.

In theory it should work. Best thing would be to try it.

I've played both PAL-A and PAL-B carts without any problems on my Famicom using the adapter from Rob Webb's store. So yeah, it works.
