        I think it is. The thing with these East, West systems that 
mirror each other like the Super Famicom and the SNES, and the Mega 
Drive and the SEGA Genesis, is that they are almost identical except 
for differences in thier design, or wireing.  For example, you could 
take the top of a Genesis, and snip a certain blue wire and *BOOM* you 
have a Japanese Mege Drive.
        The downside to this is that both Nintendo and Sega 
corperations have made it so that the American and Japanese software 
areincompatable with each others systems.  So if you decide to do any 
surgery on your game systems you may end up doing permenant dammage to 
an expensive game system.  Plus I think the Famicom carts need to be 
filed down to fit the SNES game slot.  Or is it the other way around? 
        An alternative would be to shell out the money to buy a 
Japanese system with a dealer.
