@dissident93 Well the faster NTSC 60Hz soundtrack could also be correct if it was Probe's intention but if it wasn't then yes, i'm the only one who has the correct speed of this game. But I find it hard to believe that Probe would purposely speed it up for the Americans and Japanese, but it's still possible regardless of what I think.
The cart should only have NTSC trouble if it wasn't released in NTSC territories. Or maybe simply unoptimized, like some NTSC games are in PAL countries.
@dissident93 I don't think it's an emulated issue only. Not one playthrough on Youtube or soundtrack to this game has been uploaded in the original PAL speed (other than myself) and most uploaders tend to ripp their gameplays and OST's from American Genesis consoles seeing as 60Hz is the favourited choice.
I've got a feeling this game really plays unoptimized for NTSC 60Hz on the real cartridge, if not then it would have been uploaded along time ago in the original PAL speed.
@dissident93 Yeah I meant to say that most (if not all) uploaders get their music and gameplay from emulators like you said but based on the NTSC 60Hz speed. Thats always favourited whether it's in the wrong speed or the right speed.
Yeah, lucky for you guys in the US all other UK Probe developed games after this one were optimized for the NTSC 60Hz refresh rate to play the same as the PAL versions.
@Adam060756 I don't think it's favored, per se. What I think is whomever logged the music from the game, forgot to set it it PAL mode. Thus, causing anyone who doesn't know, to think that's the way it should be, and uploads it here.
But I still think The Terminator plays unoptimized in NTSC 60Hz on the real cartridge. Somebody by now would have documented it on Youtube and brought it to attention if it played the same as the PAL speed on cartridge but not on emulators.
Sometimes I wish my Mega Drive console was modded to play in both PAL and NTSC with the 50Hz/60Hz switch just so I could be 100% positive myself.
@dissident93 Yeah there really is a mod to do it but i've never been interested in it before. ianwilson1978 has his Japanese Mega Drive modded to run games in both PAL and NTSC with the options for 50Hz and 60Hz.
You are the only one on YouTube with the correct, 50Hz music, right?
No arguments here, just wondering.

@Adam060756 I think most game music uploaders do the emulated form of it, rather than your style (recorded form CDs and stuff)
I'd tell you if it did, if I had the cartridge. I know Boogerman is optimized.

Again, my theory.

@Adam060756 Well, I can't say for sure, but you're probably right.
Isn't there a mod for that? Or you just wish it was?
