Since PAL games usually were released after the NTSC versions, I recall reading that the devs took their time to not only convert them to PAL, but to fix bugs or do other enhancements while they were at it. That said, are you aware of any PAL games that received those treatments and thus are worth converting to NTSC for 60Hz goodness?

Lufia II or just Lufia in EU has some bug fixes in the Pal version most of them are Graphics in the ancient cave.
Secret of Evermore has some minor ones.

Also don't forget there are Pal Exclusive games those are worth to play:
Asterix
Asterix and Oberlix
Theme Park
Terranigma
Lucky Luke
Tintin in Tibet
Tintin Prisoners of the Sun
Smurfs
Smurfs Travel the World

So read that Super Street Fighter NTSC version doesnt work, if you were to get the PAL version and convert it, would it work?

Just wondering but the games where the devs actually took the time to port it to PAL wouldn't those actually run too fast when converted to NTSC. Just like many games ran to slow because they were not properly ported. Especially for PAL exclusive games I could see this being an issue (unless possibly when they were poorly ported from JAP-NTSC).

On romhack website if you do a search in the hacks section with the search word "NTSC", you will get most of the NTSC patches made for specific SNES PAL games, including Terranigma.
Tested those, they work perfectly on the SNES mini.

Are you lying or have you actually tested Terranigma yourself?

Oh crap, you're right, I just tested to see if it booted correctly, but indeed there is a black screen right after the logo...
It was working for other quintet games conversion, but not this one.
That sucks, we have to find a way to make it work... Does anybody know if the game was using a specific chips inside the cartridge?

I heard that the other Quintet games don't work as well. When you say it was working for other Quintet games, did you test it yourself?

The latest update of hakchi apparently has a built in fix for this game along with others, haven't updated yet to try it myself.
