PAL vs. NTSC

I own some gaming consoles (PSP, Game Boy, DS and so on) and also some games as well, especially Pokémon games and PSP games.

So now I have a question:
What's the difference between PAL and NTSC gaming consoles? Or, in other words: How can i tell if a gaming console is whether PAL or whether NTSC? Can anyone tell me?

Moved this thread to the Video Games forum, and going to bump it so more people can see it! Good luck getting an answer. 👍

I have to sleep since it's 1:28am where I live right now but here's two links I saw after doing a quick search. Hope someone else manages to answer your question!

afaik NTSC is primairily US and Japan based while PAL is for other countires, something to do with how TV's were made in different sections of the world back in the day

if you have a console from Japan or the US chances are high if not guaranteed its NTSC, PAL for the rest

NTSC does support a higher refresh rate at 60hz compared to PAL's 50hz
