King Atari #1 Posted April 12, 2002 Is there such a thing as a PAL handheld? If I got a handheld made in the UK, would US carts work in it? I'd figure all handhelds are pretty much the same, since all they use are batteries, but I don't know. Can anyone help me out here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetboot Jack #2 Posted April 13, 2002 PAL/NTSC - no such distinction on handhelds - except....... Nomad - UK carts are designed for 50fps US/Japanese for 60fps - 'cos they are normal Genesis/Megadrive - therfore they don't all play properly on that system (I have a modified machine to run 50/60hz) ... Some games do have regional lockout on them - there are a couple of US/Japanese GBC games that don't work on UK GB units... sTeVE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Atari #3 Posted April 13, 2002 Okay, would U.S. Game Gear/SMS games work on a U.K. Game Gear with an SMS adaptor? Me and Atarinvader are working a deal out, but neither one of us was sure about this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
