Problem- Can`t play Import Dreamcast games on old PAL tv

lazarou (Competent) posted this on Monday, 13th May 2002, 19:06

Is there any way around the problem of getting import games to work on a PAL tv without buying a new TV?? With the majority of british games you get the option to change the frame rate ie 50/60hz, however this is lacking on imports and the screen flickers at 60hz. Is there any device I could get to get round this (apart from a new TV)

Any suggestions would be appreciated

I thought Import games played on a Pal DC set itself to 50hz default.

Or is it an import DC you have?

Have you tried an NTSC to PAL convertor.....i dont know if this would work but if you phone any Import games retailer they should be able to inform you.

If this does,nt sort out the problem, why dont you buy a VGA lead and play on your monitor....it would be cheaper than buying a new TV
