NTSC Compatible/f NTSC Version of Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker?
Does such a thing exist? The game on NTSC, in WinUAE at least, crashes in the middle of the intro and if you skip it it still crashes as soon as you start to play the game after selecting your opponent. It's odd because Archer Maclean's Pool, which runs on the same engine, works absolutely perfectly on an NTSC Amiga. It's kinda silly that this game doesn't since it's technically identical. So, any ideas or is this game simply too British for my American Amiga to handle? Thanks.

I do not believe Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker NTSC version exists.
They released Sega Megadrive PAL version. With common sense they would have released Sega Genesis NTSC version if they would have release Amiga NTSC version. Again I don't see any reviews of it in USA computer magazines: https://amr.abime.net/amr_search.php...=0&action=Find All 3 versions here are: http://www.softpres.org/games Are region EU No NTSC here: https://www.mobygames.com/game/7528/...nooker/covers/ or here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_...ind%27_Snooker Many times games have different names for EU and USA. Since Jimmy White and Archer MacLean are from UK, it would have been a common practise to change game name to include some playername that is more famous in USA. Because of the faces used that would need new graphics and box covers, just too much work I believe. But by looking snooker as a game. It might not just have been popular enough in USA for to be marketed there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ers_by_country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...onship_winners After your message, two new WHDLoad versions of it (Version 2.2 (26.06.2022) and Version 2.1 (2022)) have been released. They do not release them for no reason, so maybe there is help for described problem: http://whdload.de/games/JimmyWhitesWhirlwindSnooke.html Last edited by Hanzu; 05 August 2023 at 16:30. |
