Greetings, everyone! I'm a happy owner of a 64drive and two N64s: a regular PAL British model and a French PAL N64 modded to output RGB. I play mostly NTSC roms for obvious reasons. They all work fine, but I run into problems with some NTSC games when running them in RGB. On this french model all PAL games work fine. NTSC games also mostly work fine, but some of them (apparantly those which have some pre-rendered intro scenes) have glitches: the TV produces a popping sound, the screen is black and the sound is one second present - one second silent (I think the TV is trying to switch modes but fails). I have tried those NTSC games on another TV - CRT one, they work fine, both PAL and NTSC. These games are: Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Star Wars: Episode 1 racer Perfect Dark Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine Vigilante Top Gear Rally and some others as well, but I hope you get the idea.
I know that most likely my LCD TV is a problem (SAMSUNG LE32C30), but the problem really depends on a game and isn't present when using their PAL counterparts.
I have played around a little more with my french RGB-ready N64 and 64drive and found out that some patched ROMS from GoodN64 work fine: Space Invaders (U) [f1] (PAL).z64 worked Vigilante 8 (U) [f2] (PAL).z64 worked BUT Vigilate 8 (U) [f1] (PAL).z64 ran into the same problem I described.
From this I can conclude that there exists a patch fixing my problem, though I have troubles finding it on the Internet. Does anyone of you know how is it called or have link to it?
Thanks in advance for anyone reading and replying to this. Lady Eklipse.
