Knuckles Chaotix - 50Hz vs 60Hz (PAL vs NTSC) - An important change
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- The 32x really sticks it to the Genesis with an unique difference we've never encountered before within this series. Knuckles' Chaotix has some surprises up it's sleeve, making the choice between 50Hz and 60Hz more difficult. This video is to celebrate reaching the 40k subscriber mark. Again, thank you so much for getting me where I am. I love you lots!

*Reach the goal intensifies*
redhotsonic? more like sonic the hedgehog ate too much spicy chilli
funny amirite
YOUR WELCOME
@@DeamonDragoon ...ok
I didn't know we broke into RHS's house every video until now. Good to know.
Oh
All of us: RHS FANS OPEN UP!!!!
RHS: WHOAA YOUR ALL HERE!!
Lol
Ahaha
Ya'll tie him down while I stuff some of his Sonic memorabilia in this comically large yet conveniently light duffel bag
You really got me with that ending bit.
same Garrulous
Garrulous64 I watched on mobile and the joke was funny XD
I guess nobody noticed the A+Start video of Glitches in Sonic 2
Same lol. But I rewatched just now on mlm mobile so it didn't the second time.
Armadillan!
Wow! I never knew that PAL Chaotix had higher resolution. This is why I wanted this video, you sir are good at spotting these differences.
I'm trying to figure out how SEGA inplemented it.
You chose Speed Slider for the music comparison...
You have my taste, good man.
Not being rude, but do you mean "You have good taste, my man"?
@@dianaloayzat4975 Do you genuinely even care?
@@dianaloayzat4975 Also, I didn't mean that, I meant what I wrote
Elephant in the room got me lol.
I play it for me, the colours and the awesome music!

Me on mobile: *Foolish mortal,I'm too smart for your tricks*
Same! I'm on phone!
Same
Same the 2nd time I watched, AKA just watched the 2nd time on mobile.

Game is RIPE for some modding. The music and visual design are on point, but the levels are an absolute mess. Redoing the level layouts would leave you with a fantastic game.
Absolutely, like the rubber-banding element is brilliantly done, but the level design is the opposite of what it needs. Also this is one hell of a frustratingly fun two-player game, like it's a whole different experience.
This is probably your best 50hz v 60hz video yet, red. Keep it up!
The PAL version has one advantage up its sleeve you forgot to mention. Knuckles Chaotix has a lot of slowdown compared to the Mega Drive titles, and alongside a PAL console sporting a faster DMA and VDP1, the 50Hz framerate could help to actually mask the sluggish performance!
6:34 I guess Sega got technical with the Knuckles' Chaotix sound test screen as it shows the piano keyboard layout for all of the sound channels for the 32x.
Hey RHS. I'm not sure if you'll read this, but I just wanted to say that I've grown to appreciate your work in the Sonic community. As someone with little experience in the community (at least so far), I find the way you improved with feedback inspiring. From a """Sonic recolour""", to who you are and what you made today, I appreciate it. I also really like your reviews and just Sonic vids in general, they're great as background noise or just casual viewing (which isn't very common with me - most of what I "watch" on UA-cam serves as background noise).
Well, peace out dude. Keep being totally rad.
I gotta say the PAL 32X logo look really cool compared to what was being used for the US/JP. Heck even the spine for the game's box looks better.
I actually love Chaotix! Very experimental but it had a charm once you knew how to work the band physics. 😂 And at least we had AN original Sonic game on the 32x. 😉 Great video btw! 🙂
Thank God for Stephen.
Anyways, Congratulations on 40K RHS! Next up is 50K!
Congratulations on reaching your 40k milestone. Didn't realise. I hope your 50k special will include multiplayer games of all sorts with Millie.
Always enjoyed watching your 50Hz vs 60Hz (PAL vs NTSC) comparison videos. Regarding this video, the change in tone at 0:23. All your intros are amusing. Oh dear regarding how expensive the PAL 32x is. Good thing you had a backup plan. 1:22 didn't see that coming, but that was funny.
That was fascinating to go in depth with the hardware aspect comparison with the Mega Drive/Genesis and 32x. Also the fact more is displayed at the bottom with those extra 16 pixels in height in the PAL version, sweet. Now I understand why there's a tougher decision to choose either frames over picture quality, and vice versa. Knuckles Chaotix pass the music sync test, like in Sonic 2.
That ending was totally unexpected.
Ah, your intros always put a smile on my face :)
I still remember when you had like 7 thousand subscribers. It's very nice to see you progressing so fast.
Holy shit yes! Chaotix is getting some love right now it looks like.
You probably get this sort of comment all the time, but I just want to say that the humor in these videos you throw in is something i need. Like when I desperately need a smile, your videos have helped.
Thanks for being awesome. I know this video’s been out for a while, but on the off chance you see this, I just want you to know that you’ve helped me smile for once.
Nice! You do some of the greatest videos, keep it up!
my favorite game in the entire series
Hablo español, pero aún así amo tus videos, me encanta todo el tema de las regiones y sus cambios entre PAL y NTSC
I'm so excited, I've got an Anbernic RG-350P and Retroarch was just updated for it to include direct support for 50Hz games! There are so many C64 games that have the opposite problem, developed in and for PAL territories and therefore run too fast on NTSC... now I can finally enjoy those games without weird refresh rate issues!
PAL-Perfection At Last 👌
NTSC-Not The Same Colour 👎
1:15
I guess we know who will be found dead under the baby shark playing sound-speaker :P
I'm currently watching this on a Trinitron!!
Shout out to 4:3.
RIP, 4:3
Interesting stuff here. Enjoyed that. Never knew so many differences!!
That japanese cover of chaotix looks top notch👌, I might sound like I'm parroting cybershell but it looks so nice.
It's been like 4 months and you've got over 8k subs you've done so well
GG with the fake end screen, you got me, GG for the 40K man.
yeah you're back
I think you shall make a video about how the developers got rid of the issue of the 50Hz
That ending would've worked... if only I wasn't watching this on my phone !! *evil laugh*
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Muuhhhhhhh
"Oh, you are here". I feel like Redhotsonic talking to his audience is like Ernest P. Worrell talking to someone he calls Vern.
Let’s go people because this channel is the best 🤩
you actually got me with that fake youtube end screen lol
:D 40k subs well done RHS
Never Played It, But I Loved Your Vid, Like All Of Them!
You already got another ~300 since the video was finished! :D
Congrats on 40k subs.
You should consider doing ''Sonic 3D Flickies' Island'' 50Hz vs 60Hz which throws a spanner in the works. A game made in a 50Hz region.
Let demos of Sonic 3D blast were shown at E3, so the fame would have runned at 60Hz. I suspect it was designed in 60hz, and optimised in 50hz (the game detects which one to use).
This could be an opportunity for RHS to speak to Jon Burton about it. He's the creator of the game, and has his own UA-cam channel.
@@RadioTails Definitely be interesting to see what could come out of that but I fail to understand the reasoning for doing that, like why would a UK video game developing company make their own game play better in regions other than their own. In 1996 if Traveller's Tales were aware of the refresh rate differences around the world wouldn't they have fully optimised their game to play the same everywhere? They had 8 months to create the game, that's more time than most developers got when making Mega Drive games so they would have had the time to fully optimise it. Jon Burton did say once that back in the 1990's he didn't know any better like most of us regarding 50Hz.
To my knowledge Sonic 3D is almost identical in PAL and NTSC. The title screen displays a different title (Blast/Flickies' Island) and the framerate is faster or slower depending on 50Hz or 60Hz, but the question is, which framerate is the intended one?
2:45 Taken me till this comparison to realize that the sky doesn't move on the PAL version of Sonic 1 O.O
0:20 haha 420 funny number hehe
Wait till he gets to 69K subs.
Now we just need Sonic Spinball, DR. Robotnik Mean Bean Machine and Sonic 3d 50Hz vs. 60Hz.
Wow the difference is crazy
LOL that entrance
Nice video, also I’ve noticed you have a jp copy of sonic and knuckles which was absent in the sonic 3 50hz vs 60hz video.
It's 32X Time! congrats to RHS for 40K subscribers!! ;-)
Edit: also, what about Sonic 3D: Flickies island 50hz vs 60hz? Should you do it?
finally. FOR ALL THE WEEKS!! or something?
ok the ending got me XD
happy almost 50m
Awesome Great Video
I didn't expect this
RHS: Okay, EBay, I want a PAL 32X.
EBay: PS4? PS4 in _Video Game Consoles?_ PS4 in _Video Games?_ PS4 controller!
0:59 A half of your average Comedy Gold. Still good joke tho
OH BOY TIME FOR SONIC 3D BLAST AT 50K
was such a good game
Ya did it.
I don't see or really understand what is being compared at 7:42. Could anyone clarify?
3:34 " This is why for my videos in the series, 50Hz has always had its height tightened, because this is how it would have look liked using these consoles back in the day."
well, that statement is false, because back in that day:
plugin a pal console to a pal TV, got you 'normal' screen with an 4:3 aspect ratio.
and a ntsc console to a ntsc TV, got you 'normal' screen with an 3:2 aspect ratio
Problem arise, when you mix the standards on a multi standard monitor
ntsc console on pal TV = missing top and bottom
pal console on ntsc TV = squashed top and bottom
This is a by product of the pal and ntsc resolution being different.
also, you can get pal 60hz, since pal is not exclusive to 50hz
i hope that this clarifies how a crt screen was seen
Not true. Plug in a PAL Mega Drive into a PAL CRT and play Sonic 1 and you will still have the squished effect (bars above and below). It will appear how I've shown it on the PVM. If what you were saying is correct and it wouldn't show the bars, then the extra drawn lines for Chaotix wouldn't display on a PAL CRT because they would have been cut off by the CRT.
I remember playing Sonic on an old PAL CRT back in 1991.
Hey Redhotsonic.... this whole time you were praising 50hz for a higher resolution... without realising that the screen is still squashed into the same space as 60hz, making the screen actually be squashed on a 50hz CRT. Meaning that all this time you didn't realise it was fitting _more_ information in the _same_ space. Whoops.
Yeah, I did know that. I've even explained this several times. Including in this video.
You can actually hack the VDP registers of the NTSC Mega Drive / Genesis to get a 240-line vertical resolution. Some tech demos actually make use of this!

Me on mobile :pathetic
I cant find a good way to play this game as its never been re released.
Again. I like this game. I mean, for one who enjoys Super mario bros Special more than the origonal, Of course I do.
0:41
Me: Hey! Why don’t you do the Sonic and Knuckles 50Hz vs 60Hz comparison now?
I see the that redhotsonic sended.
1 hour ago
40.2k
1 hour later
40.5k
good job
Congrats on 40K, man! What you gonna do for 100K?
Let's pray he's gonna do Minecraft im not a minecraft fan though i just want him to try it
SillyThePunk yea, Minecraft would be cool. Either that, or kart stream #3, or y’know, he could beat SRB2
@@NeonGSP Yeah i highly doubt it that hes playing Minecraft either way SRB2 Would be cool
Yay
I wish there were ROM Hacks of the Sonic games that utilized ALL of the PAL resolution (and fully, not like the way Chaotix did it) and optimized the gameplay and the music.
Same, but I don't suppose it would be easy to do.
Oh wow
Fun fact: In Japan, it's known as simply _Chaotix._
i noticed that rhs finally has that japanese copy of sonic and knuckles
so S&K 50hz vs 60hz when?
Ahh yeah this is happening
The elephant lol RHS says get out of here to the elephant
I'm sure you totally returned StephenUK's 32X by now, right?
Seeing an extra couple pixels at the bottom of the screen is far from a convincing reason to pick PAL. I'd always pick NTSC.
I like it. Knuckles chaotix does not have a very big fan base.
Red hot sonic me big fan u
Okay......don't hate me but..........Knuckles Chaotix is actually one of my favorite games.
Also, here's a tip...while wall climbing with Mighty, Hold Up Right/Left and spam the jump button!!!!
Yeah it’s an all time favorite of mine too. Also, I consider Mighty to be the definitive character in a gameplay sense. When it comes to the momentum based gameplay, his wall kicks add so much to the game and keep you movement going much more smoothly.
Its the infinite wall kick and i did do this before
Hey redhotsonic
What's the 50k Special? :)
Did I see a Japanese Sonic and Knuckles box when got the Chaotix one?
I think it may be sonic 3d blast or sonic spinball next
Nice
Can someone make a complete hack of a special edition of Knuckles Chaotix?! BEODABAH?!
50K sub special?
Do Sonic 3D Blast.
Knuckles' Chaotix only has two things going for it: Graphics and music. The tether mechanic and lack of enemies are crap and not fun.
Wow.
HOLY FRICK
FRICK MY PC DECEIVED ME I THOUGHT I WAS FIRST AAAAAAA
im sad
also is it bad that i've played so much on my pal md that i find ntsc consoles streched instead of pal consoled squished
also happy 40k subs :)
Sonic 3D Flickies Island 50hz vs 60hz.
At 60,000k I dare you to do Sonic R.
Hehe you're da best
Cool
For 50K maybe you could do sonic adventure?
Om ged
4:53 might just be me but i think
the sound mixing could be a lot better
I wonder if it's possible to modify the game to run at Pal60, of the 60fps mode of PAL.
