Summary0005673: It would be nice to play it in 60hz
DescriptionAs a Canadian production, this game has been designed to be played in 60hz. The European version has been modified to work in 50hz. As a result, the game is slower and has shrinked GFX.
Sadly, US version (that should be natively 60hz displayed) remains impossible to find and the European version has screen centered, making the game too low on display area when started using NTSC tooltype.
It would be nice to patch the game to center the screen using the NTSC tooltype.
Steps To ReproduceJust launch the game using NTSC tooltype.
TagsNo tags attached.

Attached a new slave with screen center using ntsc tooltype.

And it works perfectly ! I think this ntsc display is an important feature if a game was initially designed for that, like all the american games (Disney, Electronic Arts, Sierra, Cinemaware, Lucasfilm Games...)
Some games directly work just with the NTSC tooltypes but some need this kind of correction when they have been adapted to PAL display in Europe.
Fiendish Freddy's Bit Top'O Fun is a very good example.
Many thanks ;-)
