Most collectors probably have at least one NTSC game in
their collection. If that works with their TV, a PAL60
game most likely will work to, provided you are generating
a proper sync signal. People who are still unsure can
always order the PAL50 version just to be sure.

The 7800 starts at the higher system speed. Most of the
bankswitching logic on the Cuttle Cart is quite sensitive
to timing issues. During the devellopment of the CC there
were some lock-up problems due to this, but I think Chad
added a fix for that to the CC logic. Also the reason why
Atari put the extra circuit into the later models of the
7800 was because some of the superchip extra RAM games had
problems in the old models. And since the CC simulates these
cartridge types it might be possible that the CC would
suffer from the same problems.
After I removed the capacitor from my PAL 7800 (which is in
a different place than in the NTSC 7800, BTW) my Supercharger
is working nicely in it. So chances that the CC or SC would
work in a modified or old 7800 are pretty high. There just
is no guarantee, so if it doesn't work don't blame Chad or
me. ;-)

It plays those 4K games that are compiled for $F000.
But that shouldn't be a problem for homebrew titles.
