Well, I'm not an expert on Asia, but I can tell you what I believe, and others can confirm or correct it.
It is my understanding that Asia uses NTSC televisions like we do. I think PAL is pretty much Europe, Australia, and parts of South America. Now as far as the voltage is concerned, I really don't know. It will vary for the particular country you go to. I do know that you can go to an electronics store and ask them what you need for the specific country. There are many different types of plugs and you may need an adapter. Here in Dallas, I go to Fry's Electronics and they have adapters for every country. I had to buy one to use an Amiga that I imported from Europe. I don't know what electronic stores you have in your area, but if you have a Radio Shack, it should carry what you need.
Some countries have a different voltage or current and you may need a converter.
The best thing I can say is, go to an electronics store and ask them what you need. Asia can vary quite a bit. The plug for Malasia is different than Japan, etc.
If you get a converter/apapter (if needed), and take a boot-disc, you should be ok. I don't believe you'll need anything else.
Now, if you have backups/copies of games that are in 50hz and you want to change them to 60hz, that is a whole different story. There are several methods... one is to use one of Megalexxx's patches. Another is to hex-edit yourself... or use a binpatch program that finds the strings and changes them for you, etc. I'm not an expert on that subject either because I've never had a problem with any of my backups and never had to convert any from 50 to 60hz.
I hope this has helped you... if not, maybe someone else can do better. : )
Take care,
-Ex
