No, it's much worse than the flickers, the game is plain unplayable in the European version. I had tried the trick you suggested, but by using the US version in PAL Emulation the image doesn't turn the same way. See for yourself in the first cave (which works in both version): http://ipheo.com/image...

To tokumaru: As I said I'm not a programmer. I have no idea if what I'm asking is complicated and if it's an interesting task or not. But well, from the tone of your reply, now at least I know. Times must have been changing indeed because I've always thought FCE Ultra was the best NES emulator out t...

Err, there's nothing more convenient? Anyway, the colours are brighter than with FCE Ultra, they will clash with my other screenshots. So nobody can fix the PAL version for FCE? Just weighing my options.

Help with Star Wars (E) !

I wanted to take pictures of this game for an upcoming review on my website , unfortunately there are major glitches in the European version of the ROM. Run this game and you'll see for yourself (Tatooine surface and inside the Sand Crawler, top-left on the map). I also have a supposedly patched ver...
