VCD Card - Does it have to be PAL?

[saturnboy]

So after snapping up a action reply and now very interested in the VCD card.

But there are a few things Id like to know.

1) Does it have to be a PAL item for a PAL console?
and
2) Will I see a improvement in quality of in-game video/movie sences?

Im sure this may have been asked before but Im new and Id hate to buy an item that I couldnt use

Cheers guys

depends... they should all work on any saturn but..... some are multi-region and others are just either NTSC or PAL..

only a few games make use of the VCD cards..


no you will not see any improvement unless that game makes use of the card

Cheers for your help, so basically unless Im lookin to move over to Japanse games or VCDs its not worth sourching one.

Correct. And even for Japanese games, there are only a handful of games that take advantage of the MPEG capabilities.
