How to play pal games on ntsc xbox 360

PAL is a hardware based issue. There is nothing that can be done other than for you to purchase an NTSC version of the game. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Region locking is software, not hardware, all Xbox s regardless of where they were purchased are identical, save for the firmware that runs inside of its DVD drives, and the region of the dashboard software.

Microsoft chose to lock the Xbox to its respective regions. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do. There are fundamental differences between the two such as frame rates and standards for color correction. You are talking about regions which is a completely different thing.

I did say region locking is a software issue. The discs themselves are region locked, they themselves don't carry any data for what frame rate to output at; the console decides.
