panamajoe Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hello, has anyone tested out to plug an flashback 2 console to an pal TV? Is it working, or not? most newer PAL TVs ar able to switch to NTSC anyway... so the Flashback will work just fine. At least mine does.

gamer1682 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) I dont think so. Im extremely doubtful about the FB2 will work since all of them (there might be a prototype PAL Fb2 at Atari) currently are designed for NTSC televisions. Several months ago I started a petition to make a Pal FB2 because its not really fair for you guys in europe not to get in on the new atari action. Although I have heard that if you mod your FB2 to play 2600 games it could play PAL games, but im not for sure about this.

atwwong Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I know there is a PAL version of at least one of the new games *cough* RtHH *cough* ... that was intended for use on a PAL FB2; I don't have a PAL TV but I'm sure the NTSC colours would not look good on a PAL TV.

My region enabled Video/DVD players play the NTSC ( NTSC = NeverTwiceSameColor? ) stuff converted to real PAL signals with great quality. Things like PS2 + SlideCard hack allows me to play NTSC games but it just results into a grainy B/W picture. It works but is not nice to look at. So my Sony TV does work with 50/60Hz but does not understand NTSC colors. And there are lots of TV sets without NTSC out there. This is why I would Love to have FB2 Portable with a LCD. Then it does not matter if the signal is NTSC or PAL. The colors will be on the LCD anyway -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
