Greetings fellow Speedrunners,

I'm going to buy a SNES Console in the near future. Though I'm living in Germany, a Pal one would be better for me. The Problem here is, the most SNES Games are Speedrun on NTSC Versions. If I would buy a Pal-to-NTSC Adapter, would the Adapter made the game more sloppy? Input Delays or something like that? I'm very interested in this, to get my old snes back, that I sadly sold at the age of 12 to get a PS1...shame on me, I know.

Thanks for your time

a PAL to NTSC converter will perform exactly the same as playing on an actual NTSC console.

Thanks, good to know.

Anyways, I'll propably go with a normal US SNES or Super Famicom.

Besides that the games will run slower and might show graphical glitches ;)

And thats exactly, why I'm going with a normal US Version SNES. I got afraid, that I'd buy an EU SNES and an Adapter and than can't do correct Speedruns because of the Lag and Graphic Glitches.

Never go full PAL ;)

im sure there are converters that will play US games at 60hz.

Nope, converters are just bypassing the region lock and the clock speed is determined by the console. You could do a switchless mod to get 60 Hz out of your SNES but even a PAL SNES with 60 Hz mod is not running at the same frame rate than NTSC (still a little bit slower).

@ph1l Wenn Du mal in Ruhe quatschen möchtest, dann kann Du mich gerne bei twitter hinzufügen. Bin auch aus Deutschland und habe die Prozedur schon durchgemacht :) Bevor dir hier Leute irgendeinen Quark andrehen, der entweder nicht stimmt oder Du überhaupt nicht gebrauchen kannst.
