Back to work after an extended weekend.

Welcome back Moana. The Super Famicom is pretty cool. I wish we in North America got the colorful buttons, instead we got purple and lavender colored buttons. At least the controllers are universal, you can use either region controller on whatever region SNES/SFC. Although the cord on the Super Famicom controller is pretty short.

Thank you so much Lefty!

The cord and the connectors on both ends are universal. So you can buy both controllers and swap the cords (the AsciiPad uses the same internal connector, so you can easily extend its short cord too). Also IIRC you could swap the colored buttons, I think they had the same tab layouts, you'll find markings inside SNES controllers indicating where the colored buttons should be stuck in...



Hmm, Donald Trump for his second term?

Welcome back Moana

Thanks, that's so nice of you!

Xbox One/PS4 everything is the same. Some earlier platforms there are differences but sometimes not.
Eg some Wii Pal games are 60Hz compatible, it is clearly visible on the back of the cover.

As for the whole 50 vs 60Hz what it boils down to is bad region conversions.
PAL pre HD has a higher resolution which is actually better instead of some extra lower quality frames.
If say, an NES game was built and released by a Euro dev optimised for PAL then obviously any straight NTSC port would be terrible.
It's just that most of those sort of games were built for NTSC and poorly ported over to PAL format, hence why they are "bad".

Look at C64 games. There are loads of PAL games released on tape but I'm not sure all of them got NA release.
Try to play a PAL C64 game on NTSC C64
I believe PAL C64 has more cycles per frame. Some people mod NTSC C64 and swap in the components to turn them into PAL machines

Wait. You're telling me there's actually a difference in those recorded cassettes? I mean, I barely know any difference between the encoding system, and that's fine - but aren't those just tapes with some data on it?

I really owe much to C64 because it represented my first encounter with videogames, but still.

[LeftyGuitar]

My first encounter with video games was the NES and arcades.

but aren't those just tapes with some data on it?

Data intended for whichever system it was created for (PAL or NTSC).

[LeftyGuitar]

I've read how PS1 Discs were "Pressed" some CD burning technique designed to fight against piracy. Of course each company has a different way of trying to prevent piracy.

[deadlegion]

All discs are pressed.
Well, except some MoD but that's mostly DVD-Video afaik.

A lot of PS1 games you can easily make a 1:1 dump using a PC. Some games do have copy protection but for those you can dig up a patched copy somewhere.
PS2 is pretty much the same story although I'm not aware of any serious CP (maybe there is idk). But with PS2 you're dealing with CD and DVD based games.

[LeftyGuitar]

Yeah I've read its not too hard to burn PS1 games using a 1:1 method.

Know what, this is totally mind blowing. Life is really full of discoveries.

[deadlegion]

Your post looks like sarcasm

[Zaladane]

If you rearrange the letters in sarcasm you get cram ass....lol

[deadlegion]

So childish.

It will be nice when some new info on Horizon: Forbidden West emerges.
