WHDLoad NTSC versions! - Page 3

Retroplay · 22 November 2018, 11:04

I'm doing an overhaul of the NTSC games using SPS database as reference.

Some installs only support US version, Three Stooges for example only works with US SPS 0740 version, same thing with Archon 2, only US SPS 0905 works.

If you really want to dive deep; checking the original developers country can be a semi-reliable indication of NTSC support.

I'm not sure if Moonstone has NTSC support officially for the Amiga but it seems to work in NTSC mode and runs faster.
Comparing it to the PC version which is at 60hz it seems to run at the same speed as the Amiga version at NTSC.

EDIT: This might be a bit much but I'll let you decide as you are the one organising these packs.

How about an indication of WHDLoad games that have CD32 Controller support on the zip file/folder name?

If an actual NTSC version is available it'll be added, I'm not adding NTSC tool types to PAL versions, that's pointless.
I'm using the list at SPS:
http://www.softpres.org/games&search...n&sortdir=DESC

I'm not adding slave features to filenames, only AGA, CD32, CDTV, NTSC, SPS ID.

[edit]
First batch fixed and upped.
If no EU/PAL version is available it's because it's unsupported.

[edit2]
Second batch fixed and upped.
Time for a break, my eyes are killing me.

Another benefit is slightly lower input latency too.

If a game supports NTSC then it most likely never benefited from the increased PAL resolution in the first place. There are however PAL games that use the extra resolution and have no NTSC version.

Edit: Even though WHDLoad will let you force NTSC on games that isn't an indicator of true NTSC support.

could you give me the best game to see the difference between the pal and ntsc, when the ntsc version is obviously the best ??
stunt car racer seems available in ntsc ! where can i find it ?

Would be great if someone could somehow tweak gods to accelaret the framerate..and do the same with turrican 1 an d two but to slow it down this time.....

Found another one. Stormlord NTSC! In the Zone. I noticed I had it on my A4000 and it shows the whole screen even with the bottom status bar on NTSC. Has a Spotlight splash screen too compared to the other WHDLoad dump.

320x200 VGA should actually be 70Hz, afaik.

Hi, I'm new on EAB but I permit to step on, just to say that this NTSC version is necessary to play in 60hz because when you play PAL version in 60hz, time is too fast, making even the first level impossible to finish without sun is down ;-)

@TjLaZer
Any chance you could reinstall Nitro NTSC with new v1.3 installer ?

Done. In Da Zone!

Retroplay · 17 April 2021, 15:51

Thank you very much.

Btw, you wouldn't happen to have Armour-Geddon NTSC installed with new slave as well ?
I can't remember if it was you who zoned an installed version some years back.

TjLaZer · 28 January 2022, 03:31

Another one! Elvira NTSC by Accolade. In the Zone.

Hi Retroplay,

Just a curiosity. How often do you update your Mega download file for the NTSC games?

Thank you.

TjLaZer · 18 October 2023, 23:06

Uploaded to the Zone. Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters NTSC install! Only v1.3 works, latest slave does not work. Bugtracker submitted to WHDLoad.

Retroplay · 19 October 2023, 00:10

Thank you, added to games.

@Nonefornow
Sorry, (very) late reply.
It's updated in sync with set on ftp, pretty much daily, sometimes several times a day.
