Games that support ingame PAl and NTSC switching

CritAnime · 23 January 2012, 08:20

Pretty much as the title says really.

I was playing Perihelion and remembered that the game supports switching between PAL and NTSC ingame, by pushing tab. Are there any other games that support this or have a similar feature. Maybe by altering something in WHDLoad?

I seem to remember Lemmings also had this feature when the tab key was pressed, of course it only worked on ECS machines.

Yeah but Lemmings made the game run slower on NTSC. Lemmings 2 works well (same way to do it)

Street Fighter 2 - On the title screen, press '1' a couple of times until it starts switching between the two modes.
In WHDLoad, you can force a lot of games into NTSC mode (Lotus 2, for example. Runs much much better)

Flink (CD32) pressing one of the buttons on the pad toggles between NTSC/PAL

Did Dynablaster have a switchable 60Hz mode? That was one of the few games that used the software-60Hz technique, which allowed 60Hz output even on PAL machines with OCS Agnus.

Battle Squadron, the WHDLoad patch supports a 50/60Hz switch.

What to do to switch to ntsc in Battle Squadron while the game is running?

Quote:

in game: - PLAY : pause (then GREEN to toggle on/off autofire, YELLOW to switch 50/60hz, REVERSE+FORWARD to enable cheat mode, keep REVERSE down and press PLAY to return to the menu) - REVERSE+FORWARD+PLAY : quit the game (must be pressed at least 1 s.)

There is also the TAB key in the WHDLoad version that switches 50/60Hz.

Seems like it's got a few people interested. Is there a list floating around?

Doesn't switching to NTSC mode makes the game music play extremely fast?

Amiga1992 · 24 January 2012, 21:29

Many things tun faster. Music playing will depend on the timing method used for music in the game.

Hybris. Press TAB (discovered randomly) ^^

Wings of Death: 50/60Hz toggle with the Control key.

Stun car racer turbo made by Galahad supports this. I don't know if the original game does.
