Hey folks,

I live in the UK, where we use PAL.  If I managed to acquire an American VoodooTV card (e.g. NTSC) could I still get it to work on my machine, and in my country?

Is it possible?

If so, how can it be done? ???

The card will work with no problem, the TV out signal is the issue. They sell NTSC -> PAL converters so you should be able to hook up.

Another route would be to reflash the card with a NTSC bios, I *think* this will work. As far as I know the hardware is the same but if I'm incorrect please let me know.

I would expect the difference of NTSC & PAL to be inside the tuner.

I think if I plugged it in directly, I would get no signal as gdonovan said.

I think I would have to try it and then get the NTSC/PAL converter you mentioned.  Thanks for that info, I'll look into it.  ;)

I have a Pace3d Banshee card that I picked up on www.ebay.co.uk (boxed with docs and disc!)

It has PAL out and when the RCA connector is hooked to my TV here in the states I get a rolling picture. I'm tempted to flash the bios to a state side version or play with the drivers to see what happens but not to concerned.

I verified the card works and it went back in the box, another one for the collection! A boxed Maxi-gamer V1 just came in today, and I'm waiting for my Quantum3d  X-12 to come in this week!

Still need a boxed Pure 3d II, V4500 PCI and V5500 PCI.

And a V6000 for a reasonable price of course ;-)
