Title: CD32 Video Games
Post by: pan1k on January 28, 2009, 08:44:34 PM: So, I uh just figured out how to burn CD32 Games on my mac. Multi Track ones with audio. NOW, it's a PAL game. Will using the S-Video on the CD32 Solve this problem? I have an NTSC television.

You will have to show me that trick next time you visit Chris.

Unfortunately, I don't think the video output from the CD32 will help you playing PAL games on an NTSC TV though. Also, I am pretty sure the video out is regular composite, not S-Video, but I will have to look again to see if the CD32 has an S-Video output as well as the composite out.

I am glad you are getting some good use from the CD32, see you soon.

(press both mouse buttons when you reset)

CD32 doesn't have RGB out the box though

Here they had, all is ready inside ! French edition only were natively equipped with a special 8 pin minidin connector at the place of SVideo output and the RFmod is kicked out... ;-)
