Buy Every North American SNES Game Ever Made on eBay

wow... such a shame these would not work on an australian system. To those wondering aboutthe $35 per game thing, he did clean and test all of the games and that would add value as that kind of thing is surprisingly labour intensive.

Just a thing, that bouncing sheep is adorable. You could just buy a North American system

thanks, and actually i couldn't purchase a North American system, the power cord has a different shape to Australia (the wall socket) and converters are very hard to find (not to mention expensive)

I do live in Melbourne, so I know what's up with our power cables, but even so I've seen the converters in airports and ebay.

Also, isn't that the guy who made the snes emulator bsnes? That would explain why he has such a huge collection.

Yes, it is. Being able to have and dump all the games for testing must've been quite helpful for ensuring accurate emulation.

P.S. Thanks

It's not just the shape, it's also the voltage.

Spoiler: Voltage by region

Australia got about twice the voltage as America. here's some more details about it:

Many nations also use different plugs, and a number of plug adapter kits are available for connecting to foreign plugs. However, use of these plugs without a transformer or voltage converter can result in fireworks. The voltage in Europe is twice that of the voltage in the United States, and while many electronics are designed to adapt to voltage changes, it is crucial to check. If the device is not capable of handling 220 volts of electricity, it will fail. In addition, some electrical devices cannot handle the lower 50 hertz cycle found in much of the world, and may experience difficulties.

This usually works with rechargeable items such as phones or tablets. I got an American iPad and I am able to charge it here, but not without difficulty (it charges less than it needs to run) so I wouldn't recommend buying any American product that require constant power.
