Quest For Quintanaroo - Locks on my Secam VCS

[khryssun]

This is a NTSV Version. (does someone know if a PAL version exist ?).

 

The game screen freezes when I start a game.

This is the first time a game locks with my VCS (darth vador model).

 

I'll test it with my old woodgrain model...but I think that won't solve the problem.

 

It works fine with my 7800 Scart model when adjusting the V-Hold....

 

Is the NTSC version locks the same way with a PAL VCS ?

Hello khryssun,

 

yes, there is a PAL version of Quest for Quintana Roo. It is released by Telegames. The reason why the game locks on your SECAM VCS is because it uses the B/W switch to pause the game. On the SECAM systems this switch is always read as being in the B/W position, so the game is always paused. On PAL systems the switch can be read, and therefore the game is playable.

 

BTW, did you get a chance to dump the ROM for your SECAM Activision game yet?
