So...I know the PAL Dreamcast has a 75Hz refresh rate, compared to the NTSC's 60. But does that mean the games actually run at 75FPS or it doesn't make a difference?ps: there should really be a stupid questions threads in this board

nibba, u stoned. Totally out of your mind.

I'm asking because back in like 2010 I used to hear a lot of people say I should make sure I get a PAL Dreamcast instead of a NTSC one, and now i'm wondering if that was retarded or not.
>>3936549
oi it 50hz m8 crikey!
>>3936575
I knew the Genesis was 50Hz but I was led to believe that somehow had changed.
Guess I have some people to punch. Thank god I never pulled the trigger.
>>3936584
most modern games dont even run 24hz
>>3936575
It can run 50 or 60
>>3936587
There's quite a few of Dreamcast games that do tho.
>>3936584
50hz is the standard PAL refresh rate. The DC wasn't any different.
>>3936606
Yeah, I have no issues believing it. I was starting to think it was very weird that the refresh rate would suddenly go up.
>>3936606
Most of the games had PAL 60 selectors.
>>3936691
It was starting to become the standard, but the key word there is starting. Because it wasn't standard yet.
A lot of TVs struggled to do 60, with Sony having the weirdest conversion in cases where it let you causing the entire screen to get greyscaled on a lot of TVs. Even if those TVs could handle other systems running at 60 with no issues.
>>3936740
Sure, but Sega was pretty good at conversions, I only had those problems later on with my PS2.
>>3936549
Most humans can't even see in 60fps, the typical person is around 40-50. 60 is the upper limit, anything beyond that is imperceptible.
There is a similar situation with 4K tvs. Unless they're massive or you're within a few feet of the screen, the difference isn't detectable by humans.

Then how do people fly fighter jets going faster than the speed of fucking sound

Your argument makes no sense when you remove video games and replace it with a real world situation.

Are people ITT out of their minds?!
The Dreamcast PUSHED for 60hz in PAL regions. Sega cared for this stuff and forced devs to include mandatory 50hz AND 60hz options all Dreamcast games.
The Dreamcast set the standard to 60hz for PAL. A lot of early PS2 titles were still 50hz only, but since the Dreamcast had set a new standard, every single PS2 game that came out without a 60hz option was BASHED by both critics and players (think Final Fantasy X...).
Soon after, pretty much every PAL PS2 game came with a 60hz option. All thanks to the Dreamcast.

They rely on a hell of a lot more than just their eyes looking out the window. You couldn't have picked a worse example.
>>3936781
Go to an electronics store and just look at their 120htz television displays. You have some kind of physical disability if you cannot notice the difference.

Heres your answer,btw stop using a name on an anonymous forum you attention nigger
