List of PAL-50/PAL-60 games for 360?

Freeman · 30 Dec 2006 at 20:43

I recently made a thread about this problem i had, although i did not explain it as well as i wanted so the question did not get answered.

I recently downloaded Topspin on the 360 and up came an error saying i could only play it if my TV was on PAL-50, my current setup is on PAL-60. I have no idea what this means. I do not want to go and buy a game only for it not to work on my 360 because it's PAL-50.

Is there any way i can change it so i can play PAL-50 and 60 games?

And is there any list of games out there showing which are PAL-50 and which are PAL-60 please?

Thanks.

To change between 50Hz-60Hz go to your console settings and select display.

good luck mate, i had same problem and connected my 360 to a normal tv just to change settings which are unavailable while having your 360 connected to lcd,
change settings to 60hz and and then connect back to lcd, and all games will run just fine,
one more thing, iirc when you have your 360 connected to lcd it showes 60hz but it isnt, connect it back to your tv and change it to 60hz, then it will work on you lcd,

Have you read the error correctly?

Top spin 2 on the 360 is only compatible with pal 60.

All you need to do is change the setting from the display settings from the dashboard.

Yeah i must have gotten it the wrong way round.

Will i notice a visual change between 50 and 60?

I dont think so. There are a few games that run noticably better at 60hz though, Oblivion being one of them.
