Admittedly I tend to be biased towards NTSC... But I agree with Bob, it's easy enough to get "right" even if no-one notices it much...I agree that the chance of someone fiddling with bitmaps in a PAL/NTSC conversion is extremely small, but might as well be as accurate as is reasonably easy to implement...and fiddling with the size dynamically is extremely easy with the technologies PlayerPal is based on.
