- I first belived this to be so (PAL machines ARE 17% slower than NTSC)
- but It's a converter problem. All bit older Euro adapters can't cope
- with Mario Kart, as it has extra data line added (it's 512kb game, but it's
- memry map is different from EVERY other SNES game.)
- So you need a good adaptor. Shop around, and ask for an adaptor that is
- guaranteed to work with mario kart. (One guy in germany told that an
- adaptor named 'AD-29' does the trick, but I belive that there's so
- fucking many adaptors around with funny names, that this won't help at all)
-
- Of course a perfect solution is to THROW THAT FUCKING LAME PAL MACHINE
- out of the window and buy US/Jap machine. Nintedo stinks.
