GOTHCLAWZ Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 I can't imagine they'd be different internally. Perhaps, but does this also mean that there's no difference as to whether the device is 50Hz/60Hz? If not, I'm totally getting some of these.

I am almost certain that issue is irrelevant in this case. I always liked the Japanese controller best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked the Japanese controller best Yes, I think that the colours for the PAL & Famicom controllers seem to be more logical, I mean there's 4 buttons with distinct colour differences, so it looks better to the eye. The Japs have a lot of Nintendo mods so I wouldn't mind buying a pink, Japanese controller mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinumfungi Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I own a [PAL] Super Nintendo Entertainment System, can I use a Japanese & American controller on it? Not on a stock PAL SNES, no. The PAL SNES has a slightly altered controller board that does not allow USA or JPN controllers to be used. However, you CAN mod the controller board to allow you to use them.

Video Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I think the Japanese ones were different (or maybe just the Famicom) but the rest of the world I think uses the basic same parts. Wasn't the Super Nintendo and 64 easily moded to be universal too? Like cutting an inside piece of the case off or something simple like that?
