I'm still baffled that the solution to the 50Hz/60Hz issue was "we'll just have them run their games ~17% slower, done.".

i already knew it was based on the fact that shrek wasn't a launch title over there

Most YouTubers use GameCube footage because it's not footage ripped directly from the GameCube it's Dolphin emulator footage.

I love how the USB stick was the wrong way round every attempt to plug it in! 10/10 for authenticity

There is no PAL version of Sonic the Hedgehog for Mega Drive—it's the same ROM used in the US, and that's specifically why it's slowed down like that. Had there been a PAL version that was properly programmed, there'd be no problem with speed (the image would still be squished, though).

I'd imagine the reason that Gamecube is used to record is because A) It's easy to emulate compared to the others so you can push those resolutions even higher. B) The Wii could also play Gamecube games and everyone owned a Wii whereas the original Xbox didn't sell nearly as well and the 360 has limited backwards compatibility. And C) There were a handful of titles that were only released on Gamecube and PS2 for whatever reason so maybe it was just a case of picking the Gamecube because it covered the most.

Remembering the enthusiasm towards the generational leap that the Dreamcast and PS2 brought, you tend to overlook how big a deal it was for European fans to start getting games at 60Hz. The GameCube felt incredibly smooth to me when I first played it, and it's probably because I had a childhood of slightly choppier, often slower, games before that.

Re: Hot Take - GameCube was my favorite console of the generation! Despite my love for PS2, I loved my Cube a bit more. I think many others do as well.

I'm Australian, so I grew up with PAL games as well. And watching these videos my brain is going; 'Dear God? Was it always like this?' Although I had a modded ps1 and ps2. But I don't know if that made a difference.

It's always funny seeing stuff like Sonic compared like that, with no internet or anything to compare it back in the day I didn't even know it was an issue.

Supporting these higher resolutions was extremely impressive for the OG Xbox at the time. I'm surprised that Europe never got these options.

RE the hot take, I bet it's people using Dolphin. More comprehensively stable emulation than PCSX2 and Xemu/CXBX. I guess as well, native HDMI is more readily available for GameCube through an adapter rather than a solder mod if we're taking original hardware captures. Love your content, Jon!

I guess the reason everyone captures Gamecube footage is because it is the easiest to emulate.

Perfect timing! Have been looking into modding my old Xbox (and maybe my Wii). So this vid will go in my modding playlist.

Tysm for addressing pal region stuff 🥺 I feel like hardly anyone makes proper easy to follow content about it, or doesn't include it in their videos

It was until I was approaching my 40s that I noticed how slow sonic was in pal. I've been playing it on emulators through the years so never noticed until I got another mega drive recently and played sonic on it. I was like errrrrrrrr?

i know everyone loves to point at Sonic 1 but not all games were like that. Lots of PAL ports ran at the same speed as NTSC ones. sometimes theyd run at a higher res too. and thats ignoring games that were made for 50Hz first. sometimes it was the US that got games that ran too fast. not as common admittedly, because PAL devs actually tended to care, but it happened.
