Hi on another thread I asked what equipment i need to speed run the original super Mario bros. And other NES games in the uk one user OuaisMaisNan sugested removing the location chip from a PAL console as NSTC consoles are hard to find in Europe. How do I go about removing this chip. Alink to a guide would be useful. I’d also like to know if this would make my smb run at full “US NTSC” speed thank you

I already posted this in the intro forum but i literally just made my account i this is probably a better place to post sorry if this isn't allowed

Hi, i live in the UK and am interested in starting speed running the early Mario games on NES. I am aware that there is some difference between the PAL systems and TVs in my country and the NTSC ones found in NA and Japan. Id like to know what equipment i should be getting to optimally run these games.

I found a Matsui 14TVDVR1 CRT TV in my house and it says it has "NTSC playback (PAL60Hz)" but i'm new to this kind of tech am i'm not sure exactly what this means

Would this TV work with an NTSC NES or am i really over complicating this, if so what equipment should i get to run these games. Id really like to know what other people in PAL regions use. Thank you for your time all feedback is welcome
