Running PAL games on NTSC machines
« on: January 20, 2010, 06:40:57 AM »
Ive got classicwb ADV SP working now, quite nicely...

just the goddamn NTSC "lack of lines" problem prevents me from "properly" playing some classics.
- It came from the desert, cant read what the other characters say...
- Sensi soccer, cant see the bottom goal...
- Super twintris, bottom is missing
- Super Cars 2, no health / position at the bottom

....  damn this sucks

- NTSC screen layout changed: Set CUSTOM3=1 to move the panel up a bit or
  use the keys +/- to switch the status panel during the game
