I know I've written about this before, but I was recently in contact with Centsible.

Ask around. ALL cartridges (as far as I know), will work.
Does anyone know if Wizball NTSC will work on a PAL machine? Can anyone confirm that there are no NTSC cartridges that doesn't work on PAL?
Is there any "NTSC games that works on PAL machines" list on the Internet?

As far as I know, Wizball will work but with horrible graphics glitches. This is due to Sensible using all available screen lines at the top and bottom (for status display and cauldrons). With NTSC having 100 less lines, doesn't take a genius to figure something will get cut out somewhere.
As for NTSC working in general, generally depends on the publisher and what fast loader they use (the main cause of failed loads). Accolade I've found to be very bad, whilst Origin and SSI have been no problem.
