Heeeeeeeelp me! NTSC or PAL?

[rei.lima]

My XBox is American/NTSC.

- When I download a game, which I would prefer? NTSC?

- To play online, do I need to have a NTSC game?

- A NTSC player can play with a PAL player?

I need an explanation about it please!!!



(Sorry for poor english)

I.m not sure if this is correct but I would suggest that if your machine is NTSC you would need an NTSC game, I would also predict that playing someone online in another region eg. Australia(PAL) the gameplay would be compatible.

PAL and NTSC are just the default video output modes for those regions.

In Playstation 2, you cannot play with a NTSC game against a PAL player. Example: SOCOM, Burnout 3.

I bought my Xbox a week and I'm still downloading my games, but there is a lot PAL and I don't know it works.

yes, NTSC only refers to how you view the video signal locally; it shoudlnt matter when you are playing online against someone

If you have a mod chip it wont matter.

Sorry, have no idea where i got you mentioned xbox from. lol

was tired i guess

[rikytik]

you saying on a PC it don't matter?

I know that NTSC video stuff plays on PAL equipment in Europe, but PAL won't play on NTSC equipment.

Hey,

No I meant for the xbox. Dont know why I thought you said xbox. lol Sorry....

But yeah you can easly "fix" for PC as well.

It basicly removes the region settings from the drive itself.

Then in order to play the game (or dvd) then you simply change the region using IfoEdit and VobBlanker. Google it!

But for xbox you still need a mod chip. Not because of region settings any more but because all xbox and xbox 360 games are signed by mircosoft.

A mod chip gets around that. Its a hardware fix rather than a software workaround.

But you have to be careful, in some regions of the world the tools mentioned above are illegal and so are mod chips.

Take Care,
