I recently got a killer deal on a Starwing competition cart on eBay (check it out (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3058605934&category=27231&rd=1) - only $32 shipped from overseas), and I'm looking for a way to play it on my US SNES.

I've got the smaller model SNES system, but picking up an older big model shouldn't be a problem if I need one. I found a physical hardware mod, but I'd rather use an adapter if possible. Does anyone know if the one shown on this page (http://www.lan-kwei.com/snesE/) at Lan Kwei works for playing PAL FX chip games on a US system? It says that it "allows you to play US or japanese games on a PAL machine" but I need to do the opposite.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

To my knowledge, the only way is with a hardware mod. As far as I know, the Honey Bee does not work with the FX chip PAL SNES games, nor with most of the later releases. Some games might work, but I doubt that one will.
