Yes.  I believe , somone correct me If I am wrong.  You can plug an amiga mouts into the first joypad port and hold down both mouse buttons on switch on.  And you will get the early boot screen.  You can select the display type from there.  Needs to be done everytime.

There is no region locking so a PAL game will work

I live in denmark, we have PAL here..
My CD32 is a NTSV model with a 110-220V power converter.
Most games works when useing the above solution, but a few does not, I think some games are PAL only.

It's going to depend on your TV.

Out of 6 TV's I've tried my cd32 on, only one was able to display a PAL game.

The rest give either a blank screen or a rolling picture.

Confirmed.  Some PAL games refuse to work on a NTSC CD32.

But basically happy with my NTSC CD32,
