50Hz optimized games

Post by theclaw » Sun Jul 17, 2016 5:15 pm

Does the GameCube have any games that "must" use 50hz? You know where simple forced 60hz isn't good enough.
Music or gameplay too fast, graphics corruption, cut off picture, and other issues.

A lot of games use framerate for timing. For those, a discrepancy between actual video timings and what the game expects is definitely going to cause issues. For the games that use the CPU clock for timing, that's not a problem at all.

Okay. The first step is getting a final list of games that shipped without 60hz enabled.

Do these even exist ? I only know some games like Metroid Prime 2 only support 60Hz mode.
