    Default sbi files

    Hey, i have a question about sbi files on Playstation 1 games.

    Are these sbi files only used on PAL games? Because im collecting the sbi files from redump.org and i want to know if i have only check the PAL (Europe) games? Have NTSC-U and NTSC-J also have sbi files or something like that?

    Thanks and sorry for my english.

    SBI files contain the data stored on PAL discs that lets them get around copy protection checks. They're only important if you plan on emulating PAL versions of PS1 games: games labeled NTSC don't require them.
    "I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However what it has in groove, it lacks in originality. One can't help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendencies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called "Alternative Rock". One is even reminded of Lorie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Korn would do well to learn more from -"
