Strange behaviour of Soul Calibur...

The "common 60 Hz patch" is in fact a country check. This is in the NFO of PAL2NTSC.exe :

-----------------------------------------------

The reason the games play in 50hz on a PAL Dreamcast is down to short sightedness of the
programmers. They seemed to have added a country check (as in check if their game is
currently running on a Jap/US/Euro Machine) and set the screen accordingly. Dont ask me
why they would bother to do this on a game which "offically" cant be played on a euro
machine to begin with. The only thing i can think is it allows them to easily produce a
euro version by just re-mastering the disk to run on a PAL machine and hell to borders and
slow gameplay noone in PAL land will notice.
