Were PAL cartridges ever created for Super Mario RPG? Is this a hack? Super Mario RPG PAL Cartridge!?
This defies all my knowledge of 90's gaming :(Super Mario RPG PAL Cartridge!?
What!?!?I don't know what to think of this, but item location - the algarve, dodgy...
Due to old quarrels between Nintendo and Squaresoft, Super Mario RPG never came out here in europe, so no PAL version exists.

[/QUOTE]Hm... no manual, it doesn't mean a thing, but I suppose it's one of those hong kong pirate cartridges that populated the european black marked during the mid-90s. Basically they used to take the case from another game or reprogrammed the chip inside with a fresh ripped rom. I managed to test some of those back then and they worked very poorly. They were and are illegal and for ?99 you'd be crazy to buy it.
its probably a pirate one, and he printed out his own label sticker for it, that did catch me a little off gaurd for a second, its a very convincing fake, im not even sure if the seller knows that its a fake, seeing as he is using paypall for it and he has 100% positive feedback

[/QUOTE]Well, hold on a second: the fact it's a pirate copy is likely but not confirmed. Also, probably the seller doesn't even know what he's dealing with. I think the best course of action would be to e-mail him, explain what you think, and hear his version. Then, if he still claims it's a legitimate copy (against all evidence), report the suspicious item to ebay.

[/QUOTE]i actually agree with this. that makes more sense than my version of internet vigilante justice. but watch out for those fake accounts.
I think we've answered the question as to whether or not this is a legitimate copy. It is not.
