Only if the console outputs RGB. The NES does not - I don't know about hte SNES but I doubt it does either.

you won't need a famicom converter if you do the nes portable in Ben's book.

as you say its very easy to disable the NES lockout chip - so no issue playing NTSC games.

the NES PAL/NTSC carts are physically identical so no issues there.

the hardest part I found was getting a compatible screen for a reasonable price.

Also the PSone screen circuit board is differet from the NTSC one and the brightness mod is different (I don't know how yet but the components don't match the pics in the book)

yep, I've looked at the local alternatives - i can't find these speific parts

No-one has any suggestions?

Alternately am happy to pay someone up-front to get these from radio shack and post down to me in Australia.

Cheers

Guys,

I'm ordering my parts for the handbuilt NES kit from ben's book.

I need to try and order everything from mouser.com because radio shack don't ship to me here in Australia.

So I'm looking at this page:
http://benheck.com/book/NES_hand_ch_07_parts.htm

and items 3,4 & 7 on the radio shack ...
