Region Lock

Anyone here know how to circumvent a SNES Region Lock? I think I have a North American SNES, but I have a PAL SMRPG (damn region locks and the bastard who created them). I think. The SMRPG has two extra things at the bottom of the cartridge and won't enter my SNES. Does anyone know how to get around it, because it wouldn't be fun if I wasted $40 for a game that doesn't work.

Yes, I did Google it, but the results weren't helpful. They didn't specify whether they were NTSC to PAL or Japanese to NTSC, etc.
 
Break out the hacksaw.

I'm serious. The easiest way would just be to cut little slits in your SNES where the two extra things would go.
 
Hmm, I don't think there were software based.... oh wait, there was. Looks like you might be out of luck if you want to play the game. Try taking the advice anyway, that always helps.
 
Heh, false alarm. It turns out I wasn't pushing it down hard enough. :P I seriously though it may have been a SNES problem or a Japanese cartridge, though.

Yeah... There's no such thing as a PAL SMRPG. :P

Dude, I said in my last post that I thought it was a Japanese Cartridge.

Read the whole thread, people, so you can learn about updates on people's situations. The exact same thing happened in Starmen.net.

Also, all the files got erased for no reason at all. :/
 
Dude, he was just pointing it out, because he didn't think you knew

You never posted you figured out there is no PAL version of SMRPG here. You just said you thought it was Japanese in the other, and that was that. There is no need to get rude about it over something you didn't tell. Not everyone has even heard of starmen.net.

I can't help you on the thread over there. The people haven o excuse, cause I saw the thread. *Is a starmen.net regular*
 
But if I mentioned later that I thought it was Japanese, then he should have forgotten about the PAL thing. Yes, I've been told on another forum (gfaqs) there is no PAL SMRPG. OK. I get it. That still doesn't solve my problem. If you want, you could say I overreacted, but I've had 5 people say the same thing which doesn't help me at all so I was tired of it.

Soz, Crazy Weasel.
