    Default Playing PAL SNES carts on a US system

    I recently got a killer deal on a Starwing competition cart on eBay (check it out - 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 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.
