I finally bit the bullet and decided to try the 50hz mod on my FC twin. the verdict?? IT WORKS!!!!!!! in fact it's much easier than I thought, it seems only the jumper next to chip GF-6976 needs to be changed to make the system boot into pal mode, changing the crystal to the pal equivalent is unnece...

After much poking I may have finally figured out the 50/60hz mod. NOTE: I have not actually completed this mod yet so keep in mind this is so far untested theory. it appears the mod is much the same as a SNES 1 chip model. there is a jumper that from factory ties a pin on chip GF-6976 to ground, (it...

I'm definitely going to keep poking around with it, my version uses the older encoder CXA1145 so I don't know if there's a lot of major differences. I'm confident that it can be modded, I haven't run across to many units that can't be put in either 50 or 60hz, the problem comes when you consider tha...

OK good luck with it, I hope it works as well for you as it has for me, can't wait to see those pics. I dunno if this mod makes it work with Street Fighter Alpha 2 or Star Ocean since I don't have either game to test, perhaps someone who owns the carts can try it out if they do the mod. Further test...

adding a lockout chip
It sounds complex but actually it's pretty easy, you unsolder a cic chip from a sports game cartridge (i used Troy Aikman football) you then solder a 16 pin IC socket onto the board in the space marked D411. you then solder a 2.2uf capacitor to the empty space in front where you just added the Socke...

FC twin 50/60hz mod question (+ adding a CIC chip tutorial)
Hello all, I'm new to the forum, but have been customizing consoles for many years. I recently bought a FC twin at my local classic game shop, and I love the thing, I added the lockout chip to the system to allow games like Kirby Superstar to run (I'll be happy to detail this for those interested in...
