Avram Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Here's yet another basic question. I'm looking to sell lots of Atari 8-bit cassettes, disks and cartridges but am worried that they will work only on the PAL system here in the UK. Anyone know if this media will work in, say America? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Depends, sometimes the game's interrupts are coded to a fixed rate (e.g. 50 or 60 Hz) and sometimes they detect the system type (PAL/NTSC) from the OS and set the rate accordingly. Mostly the gameplay isn't affected, just the music sounds a bit different. Regards, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
