Isn't there a colour (or color, in NTSC :o>) issue aswell ? I have an NTSC
Dreamcast, and while it works just dandy on my Super DeLuxe, outrageously
expensive PAL/NTSC/SECAM/Anything TV, I know some people who have borrowed
it (the DreamCast, not the TV) have complained that all the games where
Black/White.

Which makes sense in a strange way. I think mine only does NTSC/SECAM
because it's cheaper to just build one TV and then let the TV figure out
how to display whatever signal it gets.

Which ofcourse may or may not display 15Khz modes, natch. :o>
