Its easy to port games from console to PC.

All that really is changed is basically the executable to run the game. Which will have to be compiled on a PC.

You may have a good CPU and GFX card and memory, but what else is your system doing at that time.

Also PS2's have certain graphical hardware that may not be present on your GFX card, so it has to emulate it which will take up system resources.

So lowering some graphical features, like Shadows to none usually boosts performance.

Also Sound Cards can cause slowness also.

Thats PC's for you, great for upgrading etc, sucks for having a specific permanent spec like a console.


But yes for all games on consoles (not PC's), NTSC will always run that bit faster than PAL. 10hz difference is noticeable.

I dont know why they just dont make everything NTSC these days, as TV's now can support all modes via a SCART/AV connection.
