In this post, Sumez mentioned having created "a list of timing corrections in PAL NES releases". The PAL 50/60hz Guide lists these games as having the physics tweaked for 50 Hz, not just the music:
But many games' speed remains unconfirmed one way or the other. If you have this information, feel free to contribute
It also doesn't appear to list unlicensed games. I'm under the impression that many Codemasters games adapt to NTSC or PAL NES at runtime to some extent. And at least two of my own homebrew games included in Action 53 carts (RHDE and Thwaite) also adapt to PAL NES, with many tasks run on a 6-frame timer on NTSC and 5-frame timer on PAL. But I couldn't find Micro Machines or other Codemasters, Tengen, or Color Dreams titles I could think of. So before I go hammer the "Add new game" button, I'd like to know about the policy on including or excluding unlicensed games. I can think of a few options, from narrowest scope to widest:
- Blue Shadow (aka Shadow of the Ninja)
- DuckTales (not 2)
- The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy
- The Guardian Legend
- Kirby's Adventure
- Little Samson
- Rygar
- Shadow Warriors (Ninja Gaiden)
- Super Mario Bros. (later releases) - See my summary of autoreverse's disassembly
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Tetris - Other changes make the PAL game's speed curve very different
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

- Include only games licensed by Nintendo
- Include all pre-1997 NES games
- Include games produced as a day job, but exclude those that are "made as a hobby and usually don't have a full-time development team behind them" (per the policy of BootlegGames Wiki)
- Include all games sold to the public on cartridge
