Wanted: PAL carts

PAL carts are very rare in Canada. I managed to score 3, but they were very expensive.

Does anyone have any good leads for PAL carts that are cheap (around $5)?

Perhaps british eBay? Extra WIIIIIDE URL

The best thing I guess would be to find someone selling a big lot so that you can save on shipping.

So NTSC NES carts are very rare in Switzerland. The fault of a lack of any common adapter/import decive that allow you to play NTSC carts without using a screwdriver. Import games for SNES, Plastation series and Gameboy series are common here.

A lot of PAL games also use different game code too, for the different screen size and refresh rate. So basically they are totally incompatible unless you mod the system.

I think importing is big in Europe since they always get games after the North American market :(

mark_k,
Just cheap sports games for their cases and CIC chips.
