Revision as of 14:02, 19 May 2018

It was after using this in a page (OutRun 2019) that I realised that actually, perhaps we can combine the region locking and PAL optimisation stuff together. Although I'm not sure how to do it cleanly.

The other thing, and it's only because I'm slightly strange, is that it might be... "nice" to actually show the lock-out screens somewhere.

e.g.

File:Lockout.png

Because I bet there's some weird ones. Also I'd quite like to show how broken Super Skidmarks gets when you try and play it in an NTSC machine -Black Squirrel (talk) 11:49, 19 May 2018 (CDT)

Perhaps this is better
