Difference Between MH3 PAL and NTSC? - Zala - 05-22-2010

Hello! Both seem to run the same on Dolphin, so is there a point in having both versions of the game?

It looks like both can be run in English too, so I'm not sure what's the difference.

Well, the only difference would seem to be that they use different action replay codes if you're into that kind of thing, otherwise there's no need to keep both.

Thank you very much for the clarification.

NTSC version should be smoother and it has a higher refresh rate.

no problem Smile

Yes, but PAL need less fps to run fullspeed, so less CPU power.


RE: Difference Between MH3 PAL and NTSC? - thaCASHdude - 05-25-2010

yeah, but i'd rather NTSC.......


RE: Difference Between MH3 PAL and NTSC? - frango0010 - 05-25-2010

i'd like to add that the speed between both versions are exactly the same... since the PAL version you can activate euRGB60 on the Wii menu in config AND it will run in full speed...
BTW... if you don't select that option, the game will run at the exactly SAME SPEED (including CPU usage), just SHOWING 10 fps less... this means that you get NO BENEFIT with 50FPS over euRGB60... so it's better you use the option so the game runs smoothier...

that based on 3 wii PAL games I tested... i'm still waiting for my MH3 copy to arrive =/
