"Import games"

If I play import games on my PAL gamecube, would it affect the quality of the game ? And is playing the normal PAL game better in any way ?

Works fine for the import Resi4...

So it wouldn't work for Resi 4, then?

As long as you save at the end of the disk (which you're almost always albe to do), it doesn't matter, as the next disk is treated as a new game.

Just shove in the Freeloader again before starting it up (if you do power down)

Yeah, as long as you don't power down during the process, the Freeloader boot program stays in memory :D.

'tis nay a problem.

I can never remember if the 2-disc thing is a problem or not.
Ain't that helpful?

Yeah ...
Well, I'm only getting import stuff if Zelda doesn't get an (almost) world-wide release. And it looks like it might, so yey.

If I was playing a game that comes on 2 discs, am I still going to be able to continue playing on Disc 2 without having to re-insert the free loader ? Because if this is what happens, then I won't be able to play with Disc 2, so ?

I've never had any problems with Import games, my freeloader and my PAL cube. Can't think how a game could be affected, unless it wasnt compatible with the freeloader. The only other thing is the little changes that make it into PAL versions after the NTSC versions have been released. Bug fixes and slight gameplay changes etc. But if you were interested in the latter you'd buy every format version :D. And no-one is interested in the former :D Nice positve of importing is that you can cut out the dreaded 3+ month wait...
