Regional converter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A regional converter is a hardware device used to bypass regional lockout, especially on a video game console, allowing imported media units to be played on domestic devices. Unlike mod chips, regional converters do not circumvent copy protection. For example, a Super Famicom converter allows Japanese Super Famicom games to be played on American Super NES consoles and vice versa. Super Famicom converters come in several styles. One third-party SNES hardware device, GameSaver+, which emulates the save state feature used in console emulation to be done on the SNES console, can also be used as a Super famicom converter.
