Help Us NTSC Folks

[Eric]

(This is for the Help Us NTSC Folks post Sorry for the inconvience delete the other post please)


Now i aint that mad but i am sure you guys can understand from my point of view. I waste disks a lot from some games that just dont work and i can forgive that. But to games that are in Pal that could work if they were in NTSC like fenix,vectrexx or whatever its called and the new releases that i believe are being worked on for compatibility for NTSC users.

Now i dont want a rude reply like go and buy a new tv if i was a millionaire and not working as a maintence person night shift i might actually go out and by one but I just bought a tv from a previous place and the quality is great and another thing if i was to use a RCA jack that wouldnt matter cause i have pal games for PSone that dont work unless i have a 60htz tv.

So i am just making a suggestion from althose trouble times and wasting disks and including the money on top of that just to help us NTSC users out and let us have fun with your great work. All i am about is for the people cause people want good things if this site is a friendly site its obvious were for the people so please do this not just for me but for the people. From pics great games from my tv i dont know.

Thanks

Eric

[/quote]If by "vectrexx" you mean Vorrtexx's Revolver, then it is playable on NTSC TVs already. You just have to hit right then A, then down to accept the changes. It will now be in 60hz mode.

Fenix has just had a NTSC release today - I can't think of any other PAL games that don't have an NTSC release or a selector in it.

i dont know what it was its a space shooter with nice looking graphics the games first letter started with a V and i dont believe the creator of fenix made this game but i could be wrong i really want to play these fenix games all of them

You know its a ****ing waste of time to make indicual versions when you can use the FOF noregion boot code and it will work on PAL/NTSC systems. Making a release for only pal or only NTSC if ****ing pointlessly stupid. Kos shouldnt even allow you do it.

why dont you watch your ****ing mouth. because saying the word **** is ****ing pointlessly stupid. the mods shouldnt even allow you do it.

oh yah... they dont thats what the stars are for. but perhapes we can come up with a better way of making your previouse statment.

[Eric]

Yeah really seen as how i dont have a FOF boot cable nor do i buy off the net i hope to at one point and if i have money to do this you completely idiotic fool i might possible do this dont you use your pointless language towards me nor make me to look like a stupid person you have been in the scene how many years and how many times have i been in and out of the scene i know my stuff and i know my ports as you can see alot of the ports have been requested at me so if your using that language towards me you can F* right off and who really cares about punctuation i bet you can understand this

[Hola]

I didnt understand one ot the sentences in that at all. But my point was that not using the FOF region select is pointless.

[Mental2k]

no Hola you're pointless.

And read your last post before you comment on Eric's coherence.

[Eric]

Its not pointless it works for us people who are sick and tired of wasting coasters cause we have no clue that the games are pal which can cause scrambles on the screen and such and i said before i just bought a nice tv with amazing quality i aint wasting no more money just go play games and a RCA cable wont do nothing to make it 50 htz for us NTSC folks

The poll shows us now that something like this is needed

[MetaFox]

Eric, you missed the point. In Hola's own infintile way he was stating that games should use the PAL/NTSC region select code that Dan Potter wrote in Feet Of Fury - meaning all releases would be both PAL and NTSC. So, technically - he was agreeing with you.

The region select code is a great thing, but it shouldn't be forced. A lot of the coders who make releases for just one region are just getting started with the Dreamcast, and aren't aware of the intricasies of KOS yet. Once they get the hang of it, they'll release a new version with support for NTSC, they always do.

Also, are there even any releases left that are PAL only? I can't think of any off the top of my head.
