I have 2 PAL Snes controllers and they work fine on my two ntsc Snes's.

I think your referring to this.

Of course a Super Famicom is worth buying. It looks great and has over 1400 games to choose from.

There are a lot of wrestling games that probably aren't available in the US.

If you do remove the plastic tabs in your NTSC SNES, don't expect to ever play a Super Gameboy. My little brother bought one and it wiggles a lot when you put it in, and is very finicky. It relies on those tabs for support and it doesn't do much if the tabs aren't there.

A friend of mine has a SFC and a Super Gameboy 2. He says that even that is extremely finnicky and even the slightest nudge can freeze the game. I would try sticking a coaster CD in between the cart and the system to solidify the contact and prevent the cart from moving. That was how I solved a problem with a top loader once.

We used that trick back in the day... sticking a folded piece of paper between the cart and the slot to prevent the cart from moving around and crashing our game. We later learned that our games had dirty contacts and once we cleaned them up, no more paper needed.

I don't have a Super Gameboy, but the paper trick should solve the glitching issues.

I'm pretty dead set on getting one but I'm curious about the Yu Yu Hakusho games. How are they and which ones would you recomend to get?
Now you're playing with Power

Rob64, you should get yuyu hakusho 2. Its an awesome fighting game, i think its by namco.
So ends another chapter in the glorious legend of the Ninja... Until next time...
