Kay, so back in the 90's when the Super Nintendo/Super Famicom was released, Nintendo decided that the only form of region lock they were going to have between US games and Japanese games was a set of 'tabs' inside the Super Nintendo. This meant that no American could play Japanese carts simply because the cart would not go into the Super Nintendo... because of said tabs. The American carts had slots for those tabs. Here's a comparison i quickly pulled off the net. See the slots in the American cart (and the lack thereof in the Japanese cart)? Now I learned this fact recently... and my first thought was: "What in the fuck?" I've been playing my copy of the Japanese DragonBallZ game Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 3 for a couple of months now. So i looked at the back of the DBZ game's cart...  holy shit... the game had tab slots? weird. definitely weird. pointless topic i guess, but i thought i'd share with you guys. i dunno if anyone else on here is an old-game collector like me. MOAR shots:

Maybe your cartridge was modded with the American casing. It's always possible and I don't think it would be that hard to do,, you'd just need a special screw driver. |
