How can I tell if my Super Nintendo SNES Cartridges are PAL?
[2010-06-18 23:30:25]

Q: I have a bunch of old Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) cartridges, and most of them state 'PAL Version' on it.
However, 2 of them don't say any 'version', so I'm not sure what region or version system they are compatible with.

A: From what I understand, American SNESes use a different cartridge design than PAL SNESes. (The design of the SNES itself is different, too.) So if the cartridges that don't say "PAL version" have the same design as the ones that do, they're

Best Xoom Apps: SNesoid, Play Super Nintendo with Wii Classic ...

SNesoid is the 2nd app by Yongzh that makes our exclusive Must-Have list, of the absolute top apps for the Motorola Xoom.  This also works on other Androids, like myTouch 3g slide, but for optimal playing experience I highly recommend that you consider acquiring both a Wii Motion controller AND a Wii Classic Pro.  This app is a very badass SNES emulator, and the developer is the King of emulation.  There are 2 versions of the App, a Full Version( HERE ), and the Free( HERE ) at the Android Market.  I recommend trying out the Free flavor just to get a taste before dropping the $3.99 for the full app.  I like the app/game so much I definitely bought the full version to show some love to Yongzh because I love his work.  Regardless, both Nesoid and SNesoid are 2 apps that everyone in the galaxy should have in their arsenal.

Retro Duo NES/SNES system will play your old dusty Nintendo games

20.05.12

If your goal is to find something quasi-authentic to the retro gaming experience, the Retro Duo NES/SNES game system is a possible option. This console allows you to play both old Nintendo SNES and NES games on most modern TVs.

Though it is not licensed by Nintendo, it plays most old cartridges without an issue, according to Think Geek . I tested this throw-back machine and had no problem playing the few games I could salvage from my basement (see photo above).

No surprise here: playing my old Super Mario Bros. game on my Samsung LCD HDTV wasn't 100 percent visually pleasing. The console does not upconvert your games to HD and connects via a standard composite or s-video.

One thing I should also mention is that the emulation is at times spotty with the less popular games. You can especially hear it in the music, which still sounds good but is slightly altered or missing that extra 8-bit or 16-bit beat. If you're a nerd like me, you'll notice these minor glitches. But again, it's better than having a system that freezes every time someone stomps their feet near the console. And essentially, that's what the Retro Duo is - a decent $50 cart player that won't freeze up.
