![]() As stated here, there is no proper database for country origins, those that claim numbers do not know what they are talking about. I feel those here and on Lemon do not appreciate the wealth of American games. I do them in case I lose my mind and forget everything, then I have these videos to remember video games that truly effected my life. I do them for me, not a single soul else, I'm not looking to become big, I know that would destroy the quality quite honestly. Not that I love myself, but if that topic/game had been done in the exact same way by someone else I would have sat through the entire thing. I can't guarantee anybody will enjoy a video of mine, but I can make one guarantee most others can't, and that is that I never uploaded a single video I did not want to watch. I can't say I regret anything about those videos though. If I come off like an asshole, apologies. ![]() It can be quite hard for the passion/love of this particular topic not to make some feel there's an arrogance there, to fight back for the things they remember, and to dismiss all evidence presented to them. You might notice this account was created quite a long time ago, yet I've never posted here. Sadly that's the main reason I do not frequent forums much. ![]() Thanks for the overall kinder comments vs Lemon, although I have indeed seen previous discussions of my videos here, kind it has not always been. It would also give a guy who spent quite a lot of time/energy, and indeed love on the topic feel like it's not all for nothing. :P I would be proud for anyone here to comment on my video, positive or negative, and link the thread. Wish you guys would let the guy making the video know you're whispering behind his back. (Bonus points if it has PAL/NTSC check that crashes/hangs the game if mode does not match) I don't remember any names (as usual) but there are games that have separate PAL and NTSC version but have identical graphics. Also don't try to guess by looking at graphics elements ("This game seems to have perfectly round circle(s) in title screen when in NTSC mode, it must be NTSC game". Unfortunately black bar at the bottom of display does not prove anything. *) There are (too) many NTSC-like PAL games that only use NTSC display area, usually they are not NTSC compatible (wrong speed, possibly glitches or hangs). (Most common problem is hanging due to waiting for PAL-only vertical scanline position). "True" (*) NTSC programs are quite rare, practically all scene productions are designed for PAL machines and nearly all NTSC programs work in PAL mode (with wrong vertical size, possibly wrong speed, if it is vblank timed). Is there a reason why emulators such as WinUAE seem to default to PAL? I'm also keen to hear anyone's opinions on this issue in general.ĭid I fall in love with a slow version of The Faery Tale soundtrack? Was Shufflepuck Cafe always meant to be in 4:3? It'd be interesting to know if my memories are of "incorrect" versions of these games, and I'd love to be able to present these games in the correct format on our channel, so I'm interested to know what the general consensus is. He also mentioned a recent interview with Jim Sachs, the lead American artist from Defender Of The Crown, who basically choked up when he explained that everyone is displaying his work in the wrong format.ĭoes anyone have any particular insight to this issue? I'm keen to hear from anyone who has any direct knowledge about whether American / Japanese / NTSC Amiga game designers created their games with NTSC in mind, or whether they knew that the PAL format would distort their work (and designed their games accordingly). , and as far as I can tell his argument makes a lot of sense. The guy who brought it to my attention was the creator of I've always noticed the big black bar at the bottom of a lot of games, but I always figured there was some nebulous reason for this (memory limitations, accommodating future ports to Atari, something). I'm no expert on the matter- growing up in New Zealand, I've only ever had PAL machines, so the way the games were displayed for me is the only way I've ever known. The discussion has been around how playing games designed for NTSC on a PAL machine will distort the resolution (squished vertically) and slow down the sound/game, and how online media generally dispays these games "incorrectly". ![]() I've been having a discussion in the comments of a recent video on our YouTube channel about games designed for display on NTSC Amigas, and how the majority of screenshots, video footage and emulator defaults seem to always be in PAL format. ![]()
