A question on Benjamin's Hand-built SNES...

Is it required for me to use an NTSC psone screen with my mini SNES or can I use a PAL screen without any modifications? Finding someone who can sell me an NTSC screen has been very difficult recently and the ones situated in Britain are laughing at me as I search in vain. Please help!

No it's not required. You can mod the SNES to work with a PAL screen, so don't worry. The site that has the mod is gamesx.com

If you mean the RGB mod then it looks very complicated and I really don't know if I can actually suceed at that while retaining the thinness required.

RGB only requires 3 or 4 wires, as apposed to 2. I'd say if you have a screen that accepts RGB use it. RGB is superior to composit in every way.

And to clearify, they have more then just a guide to Audio/Video pinout. Like I said they have guides to changing the SNES to/from NTSC/PAL, change the Hz to/from 50/60 and change the region so you can play JP/US/EU games.
