Console converter

A regional converter is a hardware device used to bypass regional lockout , especially on a video gameconsole , allowing imported media units to be played on domestic devices. Unlike modchips , regional converters do not circumvent copy protection. For example, a Super Famicom converter allows Super Famicomgames to be played on American Super NES consoles and vice versa. Super Famicom converters come in several styles. Onethird-party SNES hardware device, GameSaver+, which emulates the save state feature used in console emulation to be done on theSNES console, is also used as a Super Famicom converter.
