Note that many newer TVs do not allow any user adjustment of vertical roll and you would find such a set unusable. Some PAL games will work ok in NTSC mode with the bottom rows not displayed. Others will hang. Still others will cause the vertical roll problem in NTSC mode. Life would be alot simpler in the games adapted themselves. Team 17's Body Blows has an option to switch from PAL to NTSC. Super Startdust by the same company does not. Dealers don't seem to know in advance which games are NTSC and I have had to return a number of games due to the roll problem. Since CD32 is an entertain- ment unit, it goes in the living room. I am unwilling to relocate it or drag over an Amiga monitor just to play these games.
