Okay this is well beyond yes or no now. Could you you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

If you just care about running Japanese games, it's as easy as changing a couple of PCB jumpers, you don't need to go as far as the above.

You can just buy a Action Replay 4M+ cartridge which you are going to need anyway if you want to play the awesome fighting games that use the 4 MB expansion memory. this will let you play any game.

Thanks for the info guys. I must admit I am not skilled in doing my own mods so I'll probably go the cartridgs route.
D- Do you have one of these cartridges and does it work with all your games?
