Just load up the N8 with PAL roms and you're right to go. I live in Australia so grew up playing PAL roms. You won't notice a difference unless you're used to an NTSC NES and then switch back to PAL after gaming for a while. Yes I own both NTSC and PAL NES consoles. If you insist on running NTSC roms on a PAL console though, the slowness isn't as bad as people say it is. You won't even notice it much if you're used to using a PAL console.There are tons of games that never had pal versions though. Also in pal the picture is squashed, i.e sprites looks fat, circles look like ovals etc.
If you are referring to the horizontal lines that will occasionally flicker across an entire scanline in Zelda 2, that happens in the original cart as well.Really? Interesting! It doesn't seem to happen with my Disk System version (but does happen when running the FDS version on everdrive). I was going to buy a NES cart just to test this out but the game + a nes-to-fc adapter isn't that cheap.
Could someone post the new version of this mapper? The 5B in the one which infinest posted sounds weak.It won't be possible to recreate it 100%. The author has done a fantastic job as it is.
Compare this: https://youtu.be/o43tYwosk_o?t=1m38s (weak)
to this: https://youtu.be/vve-jpZhi4g?t=3m45s (normal)
Although I'm not 100% sure if this difference in sound quality is the mapper's fault, but that's what I assume since the other sound channels sound fine.
An AV modded Famicom is not worse in audio and video quality than an AV Famicom though. The upgrades to CPU and PPU were probably only to make them cheaper to produce. Only very early Famicom CPUs and PPUs are actually missing features that was added in later versions. And these Famicoms are much more rare.I suppose there's ways around it but my modded original Fami shows jailbars, my AV is a nicer picture. I'd recommend AV for CRT use too. Forget those giant ugly grey carts and embrace the colourful plastic.
