Hi I recently bought my first Famicom so I decided to buy a broken Sharp twin Famicom which I rebuilt and is now fully working but the main reason I bought it was to I can play some famicom and my original NES PAL games on it as the lockout chip on my child hood NES is completely dead after a guy I brought it broke it completely. anyways thats not my issue I bought one of the Famicom 72 pin to 60 pin Converter off ebay and works great with my PAL megaman 2 and 4, Super Mario Bros 3, Probotectors and super Mario/Duck hunt. but I own 2 Rare Ltd games which both have similar issues running on the converter but run fine on a normal NES. So looking through the forms online and watching GadgetUK164 youtube videos on this converter I decided to mod it with no success on these two Rare Ltd game BattleToads and Digger T.Rock. when looking into Rare Ltd games it looks like did there games different which could be why they are no working. this is what I found on Wiki on these Rare Ltd games.

AOROM[edit]
Manufacturer: Nintendo
Games used in: Battletoads, Wizards & Warriors, Cobra Triangle, Jeopardy!
The A*ROM MMC, named after the AMROM, ANROM, and AOROM cartridge boards that use it, was developed by Chris Stamper of Rare Ltd., and manufactured by Nintendo. It is found in games developed by Rare for Nintendo, Tradewest, GameTek, Acclaim, and Milton Bradley.[9] It uses 32 KB ROM switch and a CHR RAM. Unlike other chips, it uses one screen mirroring.

So my question is has anyone else come across this issue and if so have you found a way to fix it? thanks

That happens if you play PAL games on NTSC machines. Not all games are compatible. I'd just get the NTSC versions of them.
