Region-free consoles
While many games consoles do not allow games from other countries to be played on them (mainly due to voltage, localization and licensing issues), some consoles (often handheld, due to the universal nature of batteries) are not necessarily restricted to a certain locale. Some of these include:
3DO Interactive Multiplayer1
Atari Jaguar
Atari Jaguar CD
Game Boy/GB Pocket/GB Light
Game Boy Color
Game Boy Advance/GBA SP/GB Micro
Sega Game Gear
Neo Geo
Neo Geo CD/CDZ
Neo Geo Pocket Color
Nintendo DS/DS Lite2
NEC TurboGrafx-CD/PC Engine CD-ROM2
Sega Master System
Sony PlayStation Portable/PSP-2000/PSP-30003[4]
Sony PlayStation 3
Super Game Boy
Super Game Boy 2
Virtual Boy
1 While the 3DO does not feature regional lockout, a few Japanese 3DO games can only be played on a Japanese console due to special kanji data not being present on non-Japanese 3DO. At the 3DO company's suggestion, the majority of game developers added these files to the game CDs so that they could be played on foreign consoles.
2 However, the successor to the Nintendo DS Lite, the Nintendo DSi, is region locked for DSi and newer DS games, although it will still play older DS games of any region. Also, games for the Chinese iQue version of the DS/DS Lite do not run on non-Chinese Nintendo DS systems due to the more complicated firmware chip required to compensate the large Chinese alphabets.
3 While the PlayStation Portable is usually region-free, regional lockout is used to an extent in the console, and it's up to the producer of the game to implement it. For example, some have claimed that the PSP version of Battlezone in some countries are region-locked. Likewise, UMD movies are also region-locked. Additionally, the firmware is programmed to detect the region of the console and only display some features in consoles released in certain countries. For example, the Asian version of the PlayStation Portable series will not display the Extras option in the XMB despite the user upgrading the console using a copy of Firmware 6.20 that is obtained from the US site. Sony disables the function on Asian consoles because non-game applications for the PSP has yet to be released in the region despite applications being already available for download in other regions. Likewise, the US version of the PlayStation Portable will not enable the TV option to allow live streaming of TV channels from PlayStation 3s that are equipped with the optional USB tuner accessory that is only sold in Japan and the UK.
4 The PlayStation 3 is region free for all PS3 games, however it will honor the region-coding of Blu-ray movies, DVD movies, and PS1 and PS2 games. The PlayStation 3 also supports regional lockout using a system based on the region-coding of Blu-Ray movies, but Sony has no intention to region lock PlayStation 3 games. Also, many games for the PS3 enforce server-side lockout for online play and additional content download.(I PLAY PAL COD4 ONLINE DAILY ntsc mw2 daily)
Note: All pre-third generation consoles are not listed because at the time there was little to no importing and therefore are mostly region-free, however sometimes if an Atari 2600 game from a region the console is not from, there may be some glitches, such as missing colors.
Most handheld video game systems are region free due to most of them having a built in screen, run on batteries and being much cheaper to
so sir get your facts strait i would make a video of me putting my pal cod4 in then then put a us mw2 in but its a waste done gave you all you needtry to help a guy out and get flamed thats a shame guys
