Dreamcast Lightgun Region Lock

Post by nZero »

Okay, I know that certain games are locked from using certain lightgun regions. Here's the question: will a North American copy of House of the Dead 2 work with a European lightgun?

I never herd this before, but it sounds totally logical to me as PAL tv's are 50hz. So a PAL gun would only be compatible with a 50hz DC game/system.

All of the North American Dreamcast light gun games are decoded so they don't work with the official Japanese or European guns.

Balls. I knew it wouldn't work with the Japanese gun, I was hoping the European was exempt. Well, thanks for the quick answer, Kron.
