NES 101 Region-Free?
satoshi_matrix:
thats what I said tiktektak. Most PAL games will play on an NTSC NES with the lockout chip disabled or on a toploader, but not all. There are issues with certain titles, particularly towards the end of the system's life. The PAL A and B thing was imposed to stop Europeans from buying games from other, neighboring countries. I don't know a heck of a lot about it, but I am aware that for instance, an NES game from Germany won't play on an NES from the UK.

From what I read from your last posts last answer it sounded to me as if you were saying that even with the lockout disabled most of the games won't work.
But if you meant most of the games work then yes you are absolutely right. Even PAL A and B is no problem with the chip disabled and it's soooo easy!
