NTSC Nes Question.

[necrodragon13]

Hey guys,

Im looking to start up my NES collection again and i was wondering if i was to buy a top loader (or a toaster with the lockout mod), would the console run PAL games at full speed 60htz?
Or will i just have to settle for NTSC games over PAL?

Thanks

It'll run most PAL games without problems, but some will glitch up when they run on an NTSC system (like Gauntlet II).

Thanks for the response.
I understand that most game will play but its not really what i was asking.
I relise now that these might be a little confusion over my first post so ill explain a little more here.

Like most other older consoles PAL games run slower than NTSC games.
Im not sure this is the case with every NES game but it is for some anyway.
Castlevania 2 for example.
Basically i just wanted to know, if i ran my PAL cart of castlevania 2 on a NTSC NES would it then run at the speed of the NTSC version? Or would have have to buy an NTSC cart too?

Or am i off base again here.....
The only fact i know is that castlevania 2 is running slower than it should be and im using a PAL console with a PAL game.....

It should run at NTSC speed, although the music will sound out of tune (taking from my experience).

Ahh yeah i see. Thanks again for the info.

Might not be worth the effort behind importing a console if its only going to be a few games that are effected by slow down....
