an I use an imported machine in the UK?
It is possible to use consoles imported from abroad but you will need two things; Firstly, you need a TV which will support NTSC as well as a PAL signal. Depending on where the console is from, you may need a step-up power converter due to supply voltage – see grid below. It is possible to get an NTSC to PAL converter but these are typically quite expensive at around £50-£70.
