Notes:
Tested only on VGA for a NTSC v1 console
Game is originally Euro ONLY! (maybe it tries to go PAL)
Ill check tonight (LATE, ETA 10 hours from now) with AV Cables and see.

EDIT:
i couldn't resist. heres the issue
This game was released only in europe and therfore only tested on PAL and VGA,
Running the game with cables results in it defaulting to PAL because there is no switcher (probably also 50hz instead of 60hz)

This is nothing i did, more just an oversight by the developers. Its strange though that the other games in this series do have correct video mode switching.

yeah I figured that. Thanks again for the games its awesome

This game is rare at 50hz, no black borders at up or bottom. Cool but rare, few games do that. I tried in old tv too and the same, looks amazing and no bordes. But here is not the problem, the problem is that the only way to play at 60hz is vga. I tried with game shark, code breaker, dreamshell... To force that ntsc mode and nothing. Game switch one second to 60hz and again 50hz.

A idea. I know that many usa/non pal VHS videos helps in that kind of converting video modes. Anyone tried to connect a VHS recoder to the DC and TV? Who knows... :D

Looks good. If you want a more advanced image editor I recommend Paint.net for people on Windows. It's free and has a lot of features like Magic Wand, Recolor, layers, masking, etc.
