Would PAL Saturn games run at 60hz on a Japanese saturn?

Post by GagaMan »

Just curious as I'm looking to grab one of those nice white Saturn's from japan, and have a lot of PAL games. I have some Japanese games already and an ST Key cart but it runs those games at 50hz too, making some games go out of sync with the sound (mainly puyo puyo's cut scenes). Would I have to re-buy my PAL games as Japanese ones to run them at full speed/screen 60hz? Thanks.

Thanks for the answer guys!

Doesn't matter either way, as I've now bought a Japanese white Saturn. I have an ST key cart already which I presume means I can run PAL games on it. Can't wait to get it, I've always wanted one of these or a modded one.

Another question: I have two PAL systems I plan to seel one off, which one should I keep?
I have a model 1 and a model 2. The latter was my one i bought new back in '97 and the Model 1 I got at a boot sale. Is there any advantages/disadvantages between the two models?
