First some explanations:
PAL-fix/NTSC-fix: Removes country-code-protection.
You need it, if a foreign rom won't run at all on your machine.
Video-fix: Converts video-mode from NTSC to PAL and vice versa.
You need it, if your TV doesn't support the foreign video-mode.
It also issues the soundproblem appearing sometimes after conversion
(e.g with PALadin).
Video-fixes are NO PAL-fix/NTSC-fix which removes copy-protection.
They change the video-mode from NTSC to PAL (which in fact was done with PALadin).
Most games which are converted this way, get scrambled sound (somehow "clicky")
and THAT'S the main purpose of the fixes.
So they include ONLY video-mode-conversion AND sound-fix BUT NO! Palfix!!!
1.) If you own a NTSC-machine, you won't bother about them at all.
2.) If you own a PAL-machine AND a television able to display PAL at 60Hz forget it, too!
3.) If you own PAL-N64 and your TV sux (as mine), this is your fix.
Since it doesn't include country-protection-removal, you'll need to use the PAL-fix FIRST
(if a rom needs one) and AFTER that the Video-fix. Same for cracks.
Problem was, that I don't have the originals of the roms (which need a PAL-fix), but already
patched ones. Since I wasn't able to reconstruct the originals from the patched ones (lazzyness)
I did the fixes based on the patched roms.
It's strongly recomended to rebuild the checksum of the rom after patching!
If you find roms, which don't work with the soundfix, tell me!
Games, which don't need a PALfix to run, should be work fine with the fixes without problems.
