PAL 7800 WITH SCART-WILL IT PLAY NTSC 2600 GAMES?

[gooner73]

Hi

 

just waiting for my new 7800 with the rgb scart lead, and just want to see if anyone knows whether it will be able to play 2600 games from the U.S?

 

 

My tv accepts 60hz and also has ntsc option in the tuner.

 

do you think that colour issues aside it will run the ntsc games ok?

many thanks

I know you can do it on the 2600 console with colour issues, but do not know if it still applies to playing 2600 games on the 7800?

I know that 7800 ntsc don't work on the pal 7800, but just want clarification about the 2600 games.

Hi,

 

From MY experience, so YMMV.

 

I have defender for 2600, US version (60hz sent to the screen), and it works on my SCART Atari 7800. No color loss, no sync problem.

Note that I have been able to play this 2600 cartdrige on a PAL 2600 jr with RF...

Hit and miss, the same as playing any NTSC game on any PAL 7800
