NTSC accessories work on PAL Saturns?

Post by Guest »

Do controllers like the 3d controller/lightgun if they are bought in NTSC regions work with PAL saturns? I can't see why they wouldn't but just want to be safe than sorry!

Yeah I thought about fixing that, but I thought it might be nice to start out with guests being able to post.

Can't answer your question for sure though.
I'll do some research...

They should work fine.

But if you have a ntsc video cd card then you need a region unlock cartridge to get it to work.

I am back in stock now, but yes, it should work fine.
Most RAM carts are made in China, but it should be fine.

Yes, unless you want to play an original NTSC title.

well the region doesn't matter to the cart itself, but here's your options on playing imports:
