What I was trying to explain was that if you play the NTSC versions of Mega Man 1/2 on an NTSC console and you play the PAL versions of Mega Man 1/2 on a PAL console, the note frequencies are nearly identical while the PAL versions play more slowly than the NTSC versions. If you hear them playing at the same speed but in different keys, then you're not actually playing the PAL versions on a true PAL console - maybe you're actually using something with a Dendy-style CPU (with a /15 clock divider instead of the /16 on an authentic RP2A07)?Coughdrop wrote: ↑Fri Dec 30, 2022 5:20 pm I can definitely tell the difference just by hearing the Pal version on an NTSC system uncompared, maybe it's because i know the Mega Man 1 and 2 soundtrack very well but the second it started playing it sounded off, funny as i saw a list online that stated both Mega Man 1 and 2 were exactly the same as NTSC, so i got a PAL copy of 1 as it's easier to get here in europe but immediately noticed it was a little higher in pitch. I guess the person that made the list didn't notice at all, which is understandable if not all people can hear it like you said.
For clarity, I've attached recordings of the Mega Man 2 intro+titlescreen from both the NTSC and PAL versions - if they don't match yours, then there's something wrong with your setup.
