Don't know if you have ever tried this, but I used to use a game genie in my Genesis and plug the Mega Drive game into the top of it and go straight into the game and play it with out modding anything at all.

also works for the nes - the SNES is even easier, open the flap door and look down in the snes, there are tabs that slide in the US versions of snes games, cut them out with a pair of wire dykes and the Super Famicom game slides right on the pin and is ready to play.

I wish I still had my systems and I would take pics of it and show you, but I do plan on replacing them in the future, so I will post pics when I do :D

This works as long as the game you are trying to play is not protected. Try doing this with games like rockman's mega world, samurai shodown or wonderboy 6 and you will get VERY different results..

The US SNES to Super Famicom fix you mentioned though is a 100% fix.
