Please help with NTSC and PAL

I have a problem with a game, and i wonder if you can help me:

- I have an image of a NTSC Dreamcast game.
- I live in Europe so i have a PAL dreamcast.
- I want to play that game.

Is there any way to patch the image so it will work on my Dreamcast? Could it run without patching it?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

A patch is just a small part of code that is replaced by another in order to change some features in a program. In your case, you need a RGB fix because some DC games have some kind of protections against european DC so that if you play with a RGB cable, you'll get a black screen or your game will reboot.

Once you have your image of your game and the patch it was made for, simply apply it using PPF-O-Matic or any patch applier.
