Is it possible to run NTSC games on a PAL N64?
In theory easier to run NTSC games on PAL N64 than the opposite. An NTSC N64 would try to use NTSC color encoding at 50hz, which few TVs support. Yes, it acts just like a real cartridge. Depending on how little you want to pay, you may need a donor cart to extract the verification chip and the shell.
Why doesn’t the N64 work on the USA console?
This is wrong the pal n64 uses a different lockout cic chip which is a hard feat to overcome and the using a jp cart in a usa console just involes taking out a piece of plastic in the unit. Not only does it use a different chip, it also syncs with the TV differently. PAL games are hard-coded to work at 50Hz while NTSC ones work at 60Hz.

All NTSC N64 consoles can play both Japanese and American carts, but the games mightn’t fit (i.e. the cut out is in the wrong spot, so without modifying your console, North American NTSC games will only be compatible with a North American console, and Japanese NTSC games will only be compatible with a Japanese console).
Can you put all N64 games on a single cartridge?
You can put every N64 game (rom) that was ever released on one cartridge inc a full PAL rom set and NTSC roms will work also. It was the best thing I ever bought for the N64, yet you may think the price is fairly high but take all the features it has and the fact you will never have to buy a game again, if not owing the originals bother you.
