PAL version
"PAL version" usually refers to the version of a particular game that works with CCIR/PAL TVs.
CCIR and PAL (short) CCIR televison sets output 50 fields per second. 2 Fields form a frame. A frame has 576 visible lines. A digital videooutput of 50 fileds per second with 2 fields forming an image (25 per second) that is 720 pixels wide and 576 pixels high is considered "PAL compatible". Consoles sold in europe and Australia have to output a videosignal that fits the CCIR standard in order to work with the majority of TVs that are avaible in those regions.
PAL (Phase Alternative Line) is a standard used to transport color information.
Why games need to be adjusted Most console games use the framerate of the videooutput for their timing. The current status of the games' entities is usually computed only for the next frame.
