Basically, what I want to know is this:
Is the Japanese game format NTSC?
If so, does that mean you could play American NTSC games on a Japanese playstation for example?
I realise this may be a silly question, but I'd love it if someone could clarify it for me.
Danke schon.
Yes Japanese games are NTSC format. But as far as I know there still different to US NTSC games. So a Japanese game won't play on a US console and vise versa.
Cheers NM, you always seem to have the answer for all my gaming needs. Nice one.
Yeah, despite being in the same broadcast format, they're still region-coded.
No problem. Here to help. :)Quote:

In France, we use both PAL and SECAM. :p
Anyway, there are several variations of the PAL format (50Hz), the main one being PAL60 (60Hz), which allows people here to play Japanese/US imports in color, and have the GC play at a better refresh rate.
Stupid regional lockouts. I don't get that one at all. They're losing money. I mean if we're importing from Japan, we're still paying for it. Why lock it out? They're losing money on that and a lot of us are willing to pay it... Makes no sense to me.
