Can't for the life of me remember if I've asked this before or not so I do apologise if I have.
Does anyone know if any of the US-Release games for the 32X are region free? I know for example that Vectorman 2 on the genesis works on a PAL MD but would games like Tempo, Blackthorne and Brutal Above the Claw work on a PAL 32X?

I know its basically down to trial and error but sadly I dont have access to these games to try it out.

Thanks

Gary

The 32X itself does not have a set region, it goes off of whatever the system it is attached to.

I was able to get a copy of "Afterburner" to flash the Super 32X screen when I had my system set to Japanese mode.

Some 32X games are region locked. The 32X goes off whatever language the Megadrive is set to, but problems arise with 50/60Hz compatibility. It's possible to put a 50/60Hz switch on your 32X. Check this page on SegaKore (http://www.segakore.fr/articles/switch_32x.html). It also has a compatibility list at the bottom of the page.
