    Default 32X Region Locks

    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

    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.

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

    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. It also has a compatibility list at the bottom of the page.
