AVOID: Super Mario All-Stars only in 50Hz in PAL regions

Huh. Is PC gaming any better?

Um you do realise that televisions in PAL regions traditionally don't refresh at faster rates than 50Hz anyway, right? On newer televisions the issue you describe doesn't exist either, because while the content will be limited at 50Hz, the television will continue to refresh at its default frequency range (likely 60-100Hz).

I think he's talking about how if a game is running at a consistant 30 FPS, you're not going to notice it as much as if you were playing a game capped at 60 FPS where the framerate keeps fluctuating between 30 and 60 (or even lower).



I don't think it's so much laziness, I think they're just trying to stick with releasing the original ROM files as they were in the territories they belong to. Though I know in the US they have released a few J NTSC games for the VC...I think they've also released a few PAL games for VC that never got released in America, and if it makes you feel any better I've heard that they're 50hz games running in 60hz so they play a little bit faster than they should =/

my bro has a regular ps2 and i have a slim ps2, and as far as i know i've been playing ps1 games on it for a very long time, my bro's is also backwards compatible.

the only game i get a fuss with is legend of dragoon second disk the battle with that one water dragon, i found out though that if you never go dragoon it doesn't glitch.

the only thing that doesn't work at all is my ps1 gameshark but that's minor cause i have a ps1 for that.

i don't know how it is in europe but in the usa the ps2 is backwards complitible no matter what it looks like. but even the ps3s that have backwards compatiblity with the ps2 can't play every game right or at least that's what i've heard. personally i have ps3 with no backwards compatiblity with the ps2, but it doesn't matter cause i kept my ps2, problem solved.

and what does Hz even do, make it brighter, darker. to be honest i like darkness looking at pure white hurts my eyes. i used to make my fonts bold when i wrote stories to get rid of more of the white, took me forever to get used to slim founts cause that lets more white through.

i think my moniter has a 70Hz whatever that means.
