- Yep, this program runs in 50 Hz. On older American TV's, this will probably
- work fine (with some minor adjustment in the vertical hold).
- Newer TV's have more sophisticated synchronization circuitry so that no
- vertical hold adjustment is necessary, but this makes it impossible to
- display 50 Hz output on them.
-
- Try a TV with a vertical hold knob or an Atari monitor...
