TV Format Key Map

[Thomas Jentzsch]

The map you are displaying doesn't match the text below.

 

Afrika is completely missing, Russia too etc.

 

And on the map it looks like the Netherlands are using SECAM. I don't think that's correct, it should be PAL too.

 

Here is another map. I'm afraid it's a bit outdated (e.g. Poland is using PAL now, not SECAM anymore), but that's an 2600 too.

 

BTW: I don't think NTSC looks sharper, because it has a *lower* resolution. But it has less flicker due to the 60Hz.

I thought that was because there were no African or Russian 2600 games, but maybe the guys just didn't know what their standard was.

 

But what's "frame rare"?

Well, why do I always get hooked up with these spook details? Monsters, graves, bodies...

Tough crowd! I've fixed that error (and subsequent copy/paste, duplicating it), and updated the text describing NTSC as sharper (ha!) As for the map, that'll take a little more time to update.

 

Thomas: I noticed the map you linked to lists Brazil as PAL, where it's really PAL-M. PAL-M for all intents and purposes seems to be equivalent to NTSC, which is how we decided to list the games in our database.
