Latest revision as of 10:26, 20 January 2023

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.

NTSCU Only MD.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

This is a wiki task that requires more thought or peer review. An important issue that needs to be solved, which will appear at the top of Sega Retro:Todo until this message is removed.

There are six language options on the Dreamcast that can change how a game looks and runs. Things also happen if you bypass the region lock.

I don't know if this is more "language coding" than "region coding", but ehh. 50Hz/60Hz gubbins is something else to deal with, but perhaps needs a separate template.
