F-ZERO GX not 100% compatible with PAL and US sys
« Thread started on: Jul 23rd, 2003, 03:32am » |

I read on play-asia.com that F-ZERO GX is not 100% compatible with PAL and US console systems. By "not 100%" they mean that the game is playable, but some parts are missing. They took as exemples the speed meter, the life bar, the ranking faces (on the left of the screen) etc...also the main menu completely disappears, making it hard to select what kind of mode you want to play (single race, grand prix, story etc).
Ths makes the import quite useless, and I'm reconsidering my decision about buying the japanese version.

Did you watch the videos (in-game) they made? These are better example than screenshot to realize how the game can be unplayable. Many parts of the menu vanish, especially the Acceleration-speed board , the speed and times during the race. It looks like F-Zero bad rom on computer
If any game loader can solve the problem, i don t think i ll buy the japanese game. I recommend to anybody to see those videos before buy the game^^ (see ya in october )
(I hope my english wasn t too bad^^ )

I hope not...I won't get the US version (I already ordered ma jap game), but for all those who wanted to get the US release instead of the JAP, I hope ther won't be such a lame thing.

Btw. did you mentioned the 42MB clip on play-asia.com where someone played the first 2 tracks of Ruby Cup?
Okay, the player isn't very good but nice to see 3-laps on the first 2 tracks for all non-FZGX-owner so far.
