Is there a difference between PAL and NTSC roms?

I know it's a rom question, but I am curious. A lot of PAL roms are seeded more than NTSC ones. So I want to know if they will be, say, the same speed as the NTSC one or whatever.

Im not totally sure whats involved but it has to do with the way the video is formatted or something. PAL is what they use in europe

pal games are typically more stable in dolphin than ntsc currently at the moment, I have no idea why that is but I would make sure you get as many pal games as you can for dolphin

wrong, wrong and wrong. NTSC are games from US and Japan. PAL is the rest of Europe. Pal is seeded more because more people live there.

They are not more stable

the most of games i own is ntsc...
But i'm thinking to buy some pal games, just to play in dolphin...
they are more fast?
I'm asking this 'cos the ntsc need 60 fps to run well, but pal ones need just 50...

NTSC = USA & Japan
PAL = Europe

Close this thread, there is no place for piracy.

PAL versions are in bit higher resolutions and lower fps than ntsc - pal runs 50fps, ntsc 60. This is the only difference between theese two, all talking bout more stability for first or second is just bull....

"I am curious"
That saves him, about PAL roms being seeded more, it wouldn't surprise me.
Look at this
China, Russia and Spain are PAL regions, aren't they?

Also, this
