Sega 32x region encoded?

Post by Knuckles-chaotix »

Are 32x games region encoded?
I know the cart games work fine for megadrive etc..

But i sold my copy of kolibri PAL and miss it now..
NTSC versions are much easier to find..

And was wondering if a ntsc version would work on my pal console?

It just depends on the game. Some games, like Darxide, have region encoding, and others do not. Your best bet is to try the game out in an emulator, lock the region, and see what happens. This is also a good way to check for PAL/NTSC speed and optimization differences.

Indeed it should.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

I guess that means you like the soundtrack more than the game? :p
