Is this a PAL game?
« on: July 22, 2004, 04:00:32 pm »
I recently aquired Simpsons Wrestling for the PSX and when I pop it in the Playstation I can see everything, but it constantly scrolls upwards...

I'm almost positive this is a symptom of a PAL game in an NTSC Playstation, but I just wanted to get confirmation.

Also, I'm getting my DMS3 modchipped PS2 back sometime in the next few days and I'm wondering if the chip will allow me to play PAL games.  I've never read anything stating it will or won't, just that you can play imports, but Japan is NTSC so that is import too and probably what is meant by "import".
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

if its black and white while scrolling, then it is a PAL/NTSC issue.
the DMS3 will get around regional lockouts but it wont display PAL on an NTSC tv.  you need to either patch the game or get a multimode compatible tv..

Hmmm... It's in full color  :-\ does that mean it a different problem?

Some information that may or may not be usefull:
the disk is burned
downloaded with bittorrent
PSX is modded with stealth modchip
