Guest Matt Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 I was looking at my Super Smash Bros. Melee cd for my Gamecube and i notices at the bottom it said "For use only in the USA, Canada, Mexico, and Latin America" does that mean u can't use it in the UK or Austrailia???

Defcon5 Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Well lets be annoying and first tell you that this should be in the Nintendo fourm. And now I'll tell you no you can't use them in a GameCube made for the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuja Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 [SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]ditto@nintendo forum... first off it will work in the units that are out in the america's at the moment... since there are no UK/Austriallian units out yet... it wont work in those! DUH... but it will only work in the region 1 GCN's anyway... just like the PS2 and normal DVD players[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Plus the transmission coding is different, same thing with the boot codes...PAL in UK/AUS instead of NTSC in Japan/U.S./Canada and pretty much in the world...except Russia (SECAM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTSC can be found in Japan, USA and Canada, while PAL is found all throughout Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and most of the rest of the world. If you're using an NTSC device, it won't work with a PAL GameCube, although it would work with a PAL TV (meaning, an NTSC console will work with a PAL TV).[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9mm Avenger Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 PAL? Hezza? Muzza? What the hell are thoes? Oh, wait never mind, I get. Yeah, I once got a...a.....Sega something from Britian, and it didn't work..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]The transmission coding is different...so you can't really get a clear signal. James post pretty much explains it all.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
