Well the compatibility is good considering the feature has only JUST been implemented and I'm sure it will be improved.

NTSC->PAL is much more problematic than vice-versa.

The problem is that PAL requires more memory for the framebuffer (increased resolution compared to NTSC - the higher refresh rate on NTSC doesn't require more memory).

So if there's enough memory for PAL, there is enough memory for NTSC, but not vice-versa in all cases.

Second thing is that most PAL games are conversions from NTSC, so they were designed with NTSC in mind, maybe even have a PAL60 mode integrated.

NTSC games, however, were never made to run in PAL.
