PAL Gigawing does have the 50/60 option, and saves high scores. Interestingly, the PAL, US, and Japanese versions of the game can all share the same save file.

And it's worth noting that the PAL version of the game is the only one out of the three that works with RGB.

"gunbird - 50/60 Hz (yes), save (yes), tate (yes), not compatible with VGA box"

You can play gunbird 2 on a VGA monitor........ If you're willing to use alternative methods.

Mobile Light Force 2

Save (Yes)
Tate (No)

^^Pretty crap really.

When you say 50/60 Hz do you mean you cant select it yet it's in 60Hz or it'll only run in 50Hz?

Danny · Post by **Danny** » Sun Jun 12, 2005 2:20 pm

50/60 means you have the choice of 50 or 60 hertz. If it says no and it's a PAL game assume that it only does 50 hertz!

Could've sworn it was titled Gunbird: Special Edition. But it is very much a collection. Great list.

Well, there are quite a few PAL shmups for PSX, but of course, none of those have 60hz. Some are lacking tate and high-score saving, in case you're interested in expanding the list.

Gunbird 2 wasn't designed to be displayed in high rez - you'll get tons of extra slowdown if you force it to run in VGA.

Steel Dragon EX = Shienryu Double, which is on the list, though Steel Dragon EX is the correct title for the PAL release.

Danny · Post by **Danny** » Sun Jul 10, 2005 4:18 pm

OK my bad sorry

now what is the difference in playing 50/60 hrtz? i know it caused a problem when it came to f-zero x/gx/ax....god i love f-zero......

sjewkestheloon · Post by **sjewkestheloon** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 10:41 pm

50 hz is the pal standard signal and it runs some degree slower than the ntsc 60 hz signal. basically pal games traditionally either run slower, have big ass borders on top and bottom, or both.

it sucks balls.

anyone have any news on on the sengoku pack reportedly being released?
