Hi all,

I've found a few proto's recently.

Parasol Stars NES US Version
Castlevania Vampire's Kiss PAL Version

I haven't been able to play the Castlevania yet. As I do not have a PAL SNES, convertor or the materials to mod a SNES. Hopefully I will soon. If anyone can help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it.

I tried playing Parasol Stars today. However it wouldn't work in the 6 NES systems I tried it in. I was getting really worried. But then I tried it in a Top Loader and it seemed to work just fine. From the less than 5 minutes I played it, it appeared to be identical to the PAL version. Anybody know where I can find some good screen shots of the PAL version to compare it to? I plan on playing it all the way through just to make sure.

They both have erasable Eproms in them. But the Parasol stars has a few wires soldered in.

Have other protos of these games surfaced anywhere? I'm curious if there are any differences. I took a pretty good look around and did some searching but couldn't find any other protos of these.

If Parasol Stars only worked in a top loader, it is PAL, not NTSC.

I have one myself somewhere that is NTSC I "think".
