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.
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)

aka will we ever find a game that does really weird stuff if it detects the wrong region, like the copy protection in Earthbound where it spawns more enemies?

This task is unfinished 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.

Might not have it as a rigid table. This just gives a sense of the scope of this task -Black Squirrel (talk) 09:26, 20 January 2023 (EST)
