European Headhunter Pal to Nstc question

Post by Mr.Es1.1 »

Hello,
I'm just wondering if anyone in the USA has recieved a PAL version of Headhunter. I am wondering if anyone has had any problems with the display off the tv. I have a DC-X and I'm still curious if I import it if DC-X will fix the difference between the pal to ntsc conversion so us US people wont have to use our vga boxes just to play our PAL Dreamcast games. Thanks a lot

The EU version of Headhunter has a built-in 60htz (ntsc) mode!

No need to worry... I think!

When ya boot it up, it might ave a really flicky screen... if that happens, then try and find the 60hz option while it flicks and press A. Everything should be hunky dory then :)

I just got it on Wednesday, and everything looked alright. The only thing though...this game looks terrific! I haven't had a chance to jump into it due to the holidays; but once I got it, I had to load it up. The reporters don't appear 100% regular, but you get a feeling from off the bat that you're playing something more than a game. Most games get you to the title screen and then a movie. Not with Headhunter.

Definitely worth picking up. I got mine from National Console Support http://www.ncsx.com

CD-X?

Won't the boot CD let you play import games? I know it lets you pirate games somehow (don't worry, this isn't a warez post), doesn't it also have the powers to let you play Japanese and European software as well?

Tried it on a friends US system using Utopia and it worked fine.

It's not NTSC 60Hz, it's PAL 60Hz which is different. It might still work - it might not.
Sick of sub-par Dreamcast web browsers that fail to impress? Visit Psilocybin Dreams!

BOTH shenmue 2 and Headhunter boot into a NTSC 60Hz Mode when you boot them with Utopia on a NTSC console.

So they will boot + look fine on any region Dreamcast.
