Summary | 0003743: There has been some talk that this game employes a region check to make it only | ||||||||||||
Description | GameVersion: english,2 disks SlaveVersion: 1.0 from 20.05.2000 There has been some talk that this game employes a region check to make it only run on PAL? The game on the CD32 will run on NTSC, but the AGA version only runs on PAL, even though the game does not use a PAL screen mode resolution. (Has a large black gap at the bottom of scree) Can this region code be edited to run on NTSC as well? www.eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=1200718#post1200718 | ||||||||||||

you mean the AGA version forces PAL whereas the CD32 version allows NTSC? this isn't region protection like Psygnosis used to set it their games. |

I just tested and yes AGA with NTSC locks up, but it's not a region protection. It's just that it doesn't support NTSC. workaround is to use CD32 version |

sorry too much work, use CD32 version which is exactly the same, and better since patched to use fast memory & has more buttons |
