GC: is it possible

[daftHumar]

in the info leaflet that you get with PSO it says EU players can't play with others unless you have a 60HRZ tv - is this really true

On bonus disk that came with Zelda: wind waker it said that the bonus disk couldn't be viewed on a 50HRZ TV yet I could see it and I have a 50HRZ tv

PS: I am not online yet and Im in the UK

Thanks

Apparently people with 50HZ and 60HZ cant play together but you should be able to go on Eu servers at 50HZ

You can only go to one server in 50Hz: Ship Regulus, I think.

Why do the frequencies of the TVs change what servers you can go to!? I never understood that! It's a TV! TV's don't go online (I'll be afraid when they can, without extra hardware/software (WebTV anyone?))! ::confused::

[lordinviso]

Yea thats absolutly crazy how come you Euro players get screwed over with the TVs regulating what fricken servers you can go to?

It's because of poor game design. With players of different frame rates, PSO will have various animation and attack glitches. Peoples' Gamecubes get desynchronized and you get random animation weirdy things. >_<

Games should be coded to not rely upon the real frame rate of the TV. It makes it much easier to resolve localization issues later...

Most TVs in Europe support PAL 60 mode. You should try PAL 60 mode with your TV.

I never said it was easy to write games like that though...
