PAL/NTSC vs. NTSC/PAL fixed

Can someone please explain how to use the video system tags properly, because I already had a little discussion with Moloch about that.

From my point of view, a crack with a NTSC-fix will be tagged PAL/NTSC, so original format first, followed by format it was fixed for. So PAL-fixed stuff should be called NTSC/PAL then. This also was common usage in the past, as far as I remember.

Maybe change the label to "any (PAL fixed)" or "any (NTSC fixed)" to make it clear. (Cannot always be determinded from the credits.)

Does that include PAL releases that were NTSC fixed and no longer work on PAL properly?

side note, if anyone of the newbies who want some tips on fixing can feel free to ask me and I won't be a jerk :P

I would like to see other super talented fixers like Peacemaker and other to share their fixing knowledge too.

Nice that the tags are clear now. So someone should fix all the previously "NTSC/PAL fixed" tagged releases which are now marked as "PAL fixed". Already stumbled over a bunch of those, which are unfortunately locked. Fixed the accessible ones I noticed.

Whenever you stumble across locked entries where something needs to be fixed PM one of us moderators, or in this case post links in this thread.

I'm fixing them whenever I come across them.

As Zyron said, send a PM or post them here
