Why is it this way, considering 9 out >>> of 10 SCEE members are going to have a PAL telly? 90% PAL only? Gotta be kidding... As far as I know *EVERY* modern TV can handle NTSC. I prefer using an EGA monitor, though... I create my Yaroze-apps for NTSC-mode (240/480 lines). If you put them into PAL mode they will run perfectly (just a bit slower because I time everything using the vertical blank period). >>It seems that when people post binary-only versions of thier programs, >>they really should leave out the call to "SetVideoMode (MODE_PAL);" (Or >>MODE_NTSC as the case may be...) >Does not work!

If you don't use the SetVideoMode command, the Yaroze will be put into NTSC mode. That's the default Video Mode. >The best bet if you are going to release your demo/game to the Yaroze public >without the source code then include an option within the demo to change >modes.
