=== Bypassing regional lockouts ===
Some consoles have a regional lockout, preventing the user from being able to play games outside of the designated game region. This can be considered a nuisance for console gamers as some games feature seemingly inexplicable localization differences between regions, such as differences in the time requirements for driving missions and license tests on ''Gran Turismo 4'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tcrf.net/Gran_Turismo_4#License_Test_Changes|title=Gran Turismo 4 - The Cutting Room Floor|website=tcrf.net|language=en|access-date=2018-11-15}}</ref><ref>https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/pal-versus-ntsc-versions-of-gt4-what-are-the-differences.87195/</ref>{{Better source|date=June 2016}} and the PAL version of ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' which added more ingame skills, changes to some bosses, and even more bosses, Dark Aeons, that weren't available in the American NTSC release of the game.{{https://finalfantasy.neoseeker.com/wiki/Version_Differences_(FFX)}}
Although it is usually possible to modify the consoles themselves to bypass regional lockouts, console modifications can cause problems with screens not being displayed correctly and games running too fast or slow, due to the fact that the console itself may not be designed to output to the correct format for the game. These problems can be overcome on emulators, as they are usually designed with their own output modules, which can run both NTSC and PAL games without issue.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}}
