GlowingGhoul Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I have several PAL, 220V STe's and Mega STe's that I'd like to put into use in the US. Would a conversion leave me with the equivalent of a US machine or would there still be issues? What would I need to do? Can I simply swap in 110V power supplies for electrical functioning, and US English ROM's to make them 60HZ? (I'll be using monitors via Best's multisync cable, RF and composite output is a non factor). What about the keyboards? I have machine with UK and German keyboards. Will they work properly with US ROMs? Thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsoft Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 PSU: Swap a US PSU or use a Pico DC-DC + AC adapter TOS: Swap a US/English ROM (or use SELTOS to load a US/English ROM image) Keyboards will work, but will now be in a US QWERTY configuration. You can swap most key caps around to optimize compatibility. If you must have 100% keyboard compatibility, you will need a US QWERTY keyboard. That's it! I have a few like this and they work great on an RGB or 15kHz LCD monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
