World of Outlaws is also fantastic. You can't lose with a Ratbag
game.

This has received very high ratings from reviewers (I don't have a
ps/2). Apparently the pc version is not done by the people who did the ps/2
version however, so I'm very worried about how good it will be.

Okay, if we're allowed to plug our own games then, well then buy a copy of
NASCAR Dirt to Daytona(R) for PS2/GC in November.... ;)
Actually, I'm not sure if they're going to sell it in Europe (what you guys
don't like oval tracks and dirt racing?)--I converted it to PAL, already,
though. How the hell do you guys over there stand those 50 Hz TVs? The
flickering drove me nuts when I was doing the conversion... okay you get a
few extra lines of resolution, but what a cost....

Get both of these; you won't be sorry!

As always, US guys always think they have the best HI-FI, TV
components ;o))))
Our PAL Tvs works perfectly at 60hz , with REAL color ;o)
NTSC ??? huuuhh ?? Never The Same Color huh ??? ;o)))))
And IIRC, US doesnt have much 16/9 Tv set, what a shame ;o))))
ok, i'm not a anti-US ;o) just kidding ;o)

Ah, and Ash indeed did manage to shake the cops, once (the comma is
important here). The smirk was hard to delete, lasted until I beat his TVR
with the RUF in GT3 ;).
We always knew, Ash, we always knew...

SECAM is from hertzien TV transmision
PAL from cable/sattelite and consoles

Mine is 100Hz actually. :) Just double the rate. But you get used to
the frequency, really (I do lots of gameshows here and have my SGI's
set to 50Hz for that). On the other hand, 60Hz isn't that great
either.
And besides, don't just about all TV's nowadays do NTSC as well as
PAL?
Hehe. We're hardened programmers here.
I believe the bandwidth of D1 video is exactly the same for NTSC as it
doing a gameshow for the US currently (Lingo on GameShow Network
something), which is in NTSC.

Next thing Ash is going to implement GP4's 25Hz physics system! :)
(btw from tests with real controller systems here in Holland it seemed
that GP4 indeed had something like this for its internal frequency;
quite an achievement actually. Sorry to say it was unusable to control
the FF wheel).

How did you know about my 25Hz physics system :-O
....see you in court :D
Ash "never too many Hz" McConnell
