Hey y'all. I've decided that 2020 is the year I finally get into speedrunning. As I was about to click purchase on a N64 console I realised: 99.99% of runs are done on NTSC. Australia is PAL. I'll need to use an NTSC console/cartridge to remain the least bit viable, right? Does this extend to Wii/WiiVC?

Mods, if this is outside the scope of whats allowed to be posted feel free to delete.

The difference is important for N64 and not Wii (nvm, see Timmiluvs' post). Welcome to the community!

WiiVC is definitely not always slower than an N64. Certain games like OOT have a lower frame rate on the N64 than VC which means that WiiVC will just run better and faster overall.

Additionally, although PAL is usually slower than NTSC, PAL may still be the fastest version of a game to run on, so always check the LBs to see what the best version to use is.

thanks guys. ive been waiting on this guy on Ebay to reply to my offers for his 64+game shark ahah, hasnt replied yet...
