There is a guy who hacked the PC10 bios so it ignores the security chip on the playchoice carts, as playchoice is really a NES hardware running in an arcade game. So there are some hacked rom files that you can install on existing playchoice carts and run. No cartridge adaptor exists that I know of yet, but I can still hope. check these urls out http://members.verizon.net/~vze3b3qa/pc10/pc_10nes.htm http://mamestuff.romov.net/NESToPlaychoice-10Hacks.html "Impmon" <Impmon@digi.mon> wrote in m
