Sounds like what we Euro cavemen call PAL-60. Which is usually a signal with 60 Hz, NTSC 480 lines resolution and PAL colour coding. This was an option supported by a lot of PAL GameCube games (some even ran only in PAL-60 like Metroid Prime 2), which might helped the developers to save costs when converting from NTSC to PAL, and we PAL gamers liked the option since it made shitty conversions obsolete. This mode was supported by a lot of PAL TVs starting in the 90s.

The PAL PlayStation 2 has a similar 60Hz mode supported by some PAL games as well, but this time it is true NTSC with the respective colour coding. Most PAL TVs back in the day needed to be fed with RGB signals to bypass the NTSC color coding when playing these PS2 games in 60Hz.

So I guess the CD32 hasn't RGB from the start?

You guys not red dwarf fans? Chris Barrie as Simon the Sorcerer is worth an honourable mention.
PAL FTW.
Also clod the French CD 32 did RGB out the box, the others can be modded or tapped from the EXT port like PCE.

I don't think Joe or Dave watch Red Dwarf, let alone are fans (Necro and I have seen every episode several times, most likely).

Obviously a pair of Smeg Heads!

And "no", I'm definitely not going to say which "pair".  :wink:

Indeed.  I always enjoy the Red Dwarf bits where he apes the other cast members.

Have you listened to the two RD audio books where he narrates and plays all the cast? Very good.

Maaaan, SVC Chaos has some sweet sprites and very fluid animation. To me, this game has got the nicest graphics of the games shown in this episode. Although the fighters of Bloody Roar 2 are done well compared to other 3D PlayStation games.

 SVC Chaos was also available on the USA Original XBOX and not limited to EU release.  I have it in fact but I just play my MVS Version.

...the Gameshark/Action Replay for the 32-bit/64-bit Systems
Action Replay also came out for most major 8/16-bit consoles, portables, and home computers.
