It's overhated. Outside of certain terrible adaptations, it's not so bad. At times I still download PAL versions of games and they aren't as unplayable as people make it believe. But this is 4chan and the PAL/NTSC divide is like /v/tards acting like anything below 144hz/fps is unplayable.

You're in a bait thread created by a lolcow loser. All you'll see here is a continuation the lolcow's decade long mental breakdown. Ask him about how a 1000ghz cpu is beaten by a chinese fpga or how nintendo developers all used the apple 2 to make nes games (none of this actually happened - it was just ai generated slop he posted t hat everyone laughed at). always hilarious stories with this loser.

It's rather ironic to see a picture of a SNES when Sega, with the Mega Drive, is the one that truly ruined PAL.

Their Sonic games are always held up as examples because they made absolutely no effort to adapt them, unlike Nintendo.

entire library of NES software is full of low effort, bugged and broken software that's excused by simpletons, where PAL releases were never properly fixed nor was there ever an attempt by most developers early on to do so. using the NTSC APU note tables in PAL releases and not bothering to fix anything relying on timing is just quality work. then there's all the revisions of games that were snuck into production to fix their broken shit.

Christ, another paranoid moron.
The monitor is fucking blue, not purple!, it's from an NTSC C64 from a Canadian bloke, this is where I took the snapshot from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH5CWzye3W8

The wiki is dedicated to the CPC, not the Spectrum, and it has sources.
And obviously the Vice developer knows a tad more about the C64 and it's palettes than some random fanatical imbecile like you.

the sources are 3 tweets. one is just some dude making a palette - made a choice after "research" - whatever the fuck he means by that - and the colours are still wrong. the other is some dude making comparisons, which still look nothing like the picture i have included here by this man with autism.
>And obviously the Vice developer knows a tad more
knows more than you. you're using tweets as sources from a cpc/spectrum site and one of them is just some dude making a palette. you'd fail at operating a toaster. i know for a fact that even vice's devs all can't agree on what ntsc or colors are best which is why vice comes with many palette choices and allows to you customize your own because dangerously low iq retards like you would configure their monitors into all kinds of ways and then have autistic meltdowns because a certain colour didn't look right (despite being close to what the vic2 was outputting from real hardware), then start spamming vice's bug tracker where you are ignored.

oh. then you have differences in motherboard revisions, commodore 128.. anyway, you're clearly out of your depth here. using a CPC site as any kind of source for the c64 demonstrates to everyone that you are the dumbest and most retarded motherfucker we've ever seen on this website and you shouldn't be allowed near anything has has a CPU in it or internet access.

>>
>>12536927
I accept your concession.
It's nice that you've learnt that the C64 had different NTSC & PAL palettes due to the differences in video signal timings. Good for you!
>>
>>12536827
I am forever grateful they did not mangle the sonic games. It is mathematically impossible to "optimize" a 60hz game for 50hz, any attempt at doing so just results in a mangled mess. Slow and intact, is better than a faster but broken. Also, the reason they could make the 50hz optimized version of mario work well enough is because that game is far more primitive than the sonic games.
>>
The NES palette is not consistent either, it varies slightly from TV to TV and Japanese TVs also had a slightly different variant of the NTSC color spec.
>>
>>12536954
I should add that it generates colors based on NTSC values so they're not consistent. The Colecovision was the first console to use RGB colors and all others since the Master System do likewise so they will always look the same on any display.

Is that why the blues on the emulator for C64 and Super Mario Bros. look purple instead of blue? They didn't look that way on my TV and I've always wondered about that.
>>
>>12537048
None of these palettes are exactly accurate. The sky should look like top right but the bricks like bottom right.
>>
>>12537052
Bottom right is the closest to how it looked on my TV. I never saw a purple sky in Mario Bros. until I played on emulation.

NTSC was referred to as "Never Twice Same Color" because it's such a big pain in the dick keeping it within a standard reference frame. Most computers and consoles you can just refer back to the RGB generated in the graphics chip as the "original" and then argue about whether devs took the TV encoder into account or not, but the NES, 2600 and other such earlier machines used values dialled in to produce NTSC colors and there is no RGB reference to be had anywhere in the machine. We'll never know what that crazy nip man with an oscilloscope and a screwdriver saw in his lab, we'll just forever have to wonder if the sharp twin is correct or the vs. nes series arcade boards.
>>
>>12537410
as he said the Colecovision was the first console that generates RGB color internally, and purely by coincidence of the fact that Coleco bought the RGB version of the VDP chip because they got a good price on it. but on all other pre-crash consoles, home computers, and NES it's anyone's guess exactly what the color palette is supposed to be.

I can attest to how inconsistent NES colors look on different TVs in contrast to the SNES always looking the same on any TV.
>>
>>12537410
My NES is RGB modded and I have a toggle switch that can do either "correctly emulated PAL colors" or some "modders' best guess" pallets (probably FCEUX?) that has more proper looking blues, greens, reds and browns. I don't know if anyone can say which one is "accurate" but I prefer the unofficial pallet because it matches how I remember it looking.

it's amazing how the losers on this board will just imagine what is said instead of reading it. anon is right, none of the screenshots on hitman site look anything like >>12536169 and the tweets (you claim are sources lol) are absurd.

>It's nice that you've learnt that the C64 had different NTSC & PAL palettes
you posted a page from a CPC wiki, got shamed into finding another better source and still proved nothing at all. just admit you're a sad and pathetic lolcow that can't even use a search engine or notice massive differences in colors. but let's trust a guy on twitter who did "research" and made his own palette! you are a dumb fucking idiot.
