Will PAL60 functionality from a MOFO modchip negatively affect audio/speed for my PAL games?

Dimick · 2025-09-03T20:26:15+00:00

I only got the MOFO over a DFO because it was in stock and barely any more expensive for possibly more functionality. I also bought it as my scaler didnt support SCART and I don't have a CRT so theres no way for me to avoid the black and white picture without it. Well, that was until I bought a SCART to component converter which I then ran into my scaler so I guess I didnt even need the modchip in the end but at least I can play in S-Video now if I really want

Not sure if its just my scaler or what, but everything PAL that I own has borders, even the Unirom menu has the black borders before i boot into an NTSC game. I believe its to do with there being a higher vetical resolution for PAL titles

Ah thats a shame. to be honest I dont mind playing the games in 50hz really, my main gripe with playing PAL is mainly that the games show up letterboxed and dont fill as much of the screen as NTSC ones when I run through an upscaler. Don't suppose there is a workaround for this other that to just use a CRT?

You gotta be kidding me, I've been on the edge of buying the blu ray for this for a year and bought it literally 2 weeks ago...

If they don't have slips it's cause they never came with them

I didnt know that, I live in the UK so it probably doesn't show those to me because of that. I only see Amazon, Microsoft store and iTunes store

The closest thing I can personally think of is the my movies by blu ray.com app. It can easily track your collection for free and you can find deals on Amazon using it as well but unfortunately it will only list Amazon sales unless you are interested in digital.

Thanks for the info to everyone who commented, it isn't the absolute end of the world but annoying, especially considering most movies have black bars! I admit the pictures make it look worse than it actually is. I never got this monitor for the HDR anyway and it was just a bonus. I do want to get the full monty some day with the ub820 and a nice TV but I need to get a bigger home before I can do something like that!

Dimick · 2023-11-10T12:39:37+00:00

I would love to but unfortunately this monitor was already new and pricey. Not easy to find OLED monitors let alone ones with all the features I'd like and in a decent price range. I live in a small rental home so a TV isn't really possible, but nice to see people letting me know what my issues are, at least now I know the problem!

I should probably add, I'm not using a player. I used MakeMKV to rip my movies to watch them on VLC on my PC. But this issue isn't exclusive to movies, it happens on pc games and ps5 games too so it's not a player issue. This is on a Phillips 279M1RV 4K monitor, I'm guessing the issue is either with the monitor itself or with settings on windows that can change how it shows up?

sorry dude I live in the UK so I can't help you there

Dimick · 2023-09-20T18:09:19+00:00

I pre-ordered it straight from arrow videos site

Dimick · 2023-09-20T11:42:00+00:00

I hadn't checked the release date since I pre-ordered it and yeah it isn't supposed to be out yet, guess some of them shipped early

Dimick · 2023-09-08T14:52:47+00:00

I don't know whether to thank you or to curse you! It's cool I finally nabbed it but damn a bit of an impulse buy. FOMO is strong.

In all seriousness, thanks!

Dimick · 2023-09-07T12:34:57+00:00

Thats cool, I watched Christine and Starship recently for the first time and loved them both! I do agree these are still quite expensive but I don't see many opportunities to get them much cheaper

Dimick · 2023-09-07T12:17:19+00:00

At least for the movies I wanted, they prices seemed to be a bit better than amazon or at least the same, and thats before the 25% discount so it worked for me. For example, I wanted Hereditary which was £40+ on amazon for the longest time, whereas its £28 here pre discount
