Can you softmod NTSC console with PAL game? And DIY Mame discs...?

First question is simple in itself... if I have access to an NTSC console but a PAL copy of Splinter Cell with the savegame exploit, will the game run or will it be locked down?

Secondly I've been thinking of creating my own MAME discs for friends. I came across the "Big Ass Emulator Disk" with various systems and roms and wondered if its possible to make one yourself? In my case I'd be looking at something like doing a specific 8 bit console disc or maybe a Nintendo/Sega one etc.

I can create an ISO easily enough using tools but what about front end menu and it being recognised/launchable on a modded xbox? I don't really know anything about the xbe files etc...

 

That depends on the game. Xbox like Saturn has a few titles not region coded for whatever reason.

 

You cant use a PAL game on a NTSC console or vice versa. You need one from your region

 

have NTSC copy and I offer softmodding services.

 

I have a NTSC J softmod capable SC disc. Let me know if keen =)

 

I doubt any exploitable titles are multi region. You can always go down the Ndure path.

 

Thanks guys, that answers the softmod question.

Anyone have any experience with creating your own bootable Mame disc like the Big Ass ones?

 

You can make a CDX DVD and just make it boot the MAME Emulator by default.
