Of course $8 really isn't very much money at all.

You got one for $8? Wow, at that price I could finally justify getting one to play the five games I want for the system.

I am referring to the converter from NCS I hope you understand.

[Seven Force]

Impressive!

It got there in three days...all the way from Japan!!

Yeah, Despair, a converter's the easiest way to go probably.

I wanted to modify my system to play imports, but at the same time, didn't want to maul the thing opening it or just throw away the plastic dust cover (I didn't want dust getting in the system). Being luckily enough to own the necessary gamebit screwdriver to open up the system and have parents who own a service station helped alot of course...

So I opened up the system, removed the dust cover, took it to work, used the sander in the mechanic's bay to sand off the plastic tabs which prevented the import carts from being put in, then replaced the modified dust cover into the unit.

Yeah, it would have been alot easier to just use a converter or just discard the dust cover, but what can I say? I can be pretty anal about these things

Yeah, Seven it was really fast. You money will be on their way today

I ordered the coverter from NSC, so I hope I will get it early next week. Damn, their prices are high !! Cheapest option for me was regular UPS, and it still cost me $7 !!! Its almost as much, as a damn converter I bought !!! Ow, well, Its better than messing with the system myself, I guess

I bought my converter back when I got Mario Kart 64 so it was readily available at my local import shops. I'm guessing even if there was an import shop nearby you, Despair, they probably wouldn't have one anymore. (It was a bitch to find a SNES/SFC converter)

[Despair]

Well, To tell you the truth I dont even know if there are any import gaming stores in Milwaukee So my chances to get it in the neighborhood is way too slim. But no problem, I can wait till converter arrives, I still have DTR and Onimusha 2 to beat.

[SearchManX]

You should live either in NYC or California where local import shops are readily available. Or open up your own.

[Kidnemo]

Despair there is a import shop in Milwaukee, but they don't carry that many games. Mostly just some of the "popular" imports, and lots of vids/toys/etc.

I'm almost postive they wouldn't have a convertor too.

[Despair]

, I doubt that the market for Import games will be very profitable around these parts.
