Hopefully my McBoot memory card arrives tomorrow and I'll be able to run some backups, patched, of course, but I've been wondering if there is any advantage to playing the NTSC releases of games rather than PAL, which is the standard where I live. Both of the tellies I might use (one CRT, one plasma - I switch a bit depending on things) support NTSC and, although I haven't done my homework, I believe ESR supports loading games with foreign video standards.

Both NTSC's higher refresh rate and PAL's higher resolution seem like such minimal differences - I really don't know what's best for games.
