Is it just my TV? Or is it because North American TV's in general typically don't support 50hz?
I'm using firmware 1.20b8, an Everdrive N8 (NES), and playing on a Samsung plasma TV (2011).
What games/ROMs were you testing? I know for a fact that my TV supports 50hz PAL mode (forced by RetroN 5 into that mode before my AVS arrived, then confirmed with the AVS) and can give it a shot. However, if you've switched the AVS to PAL mode and still get the menu, then your TV should actually be supporting the correct mode--the menu as well as games run in 50hz when set to PAL, at least on firmware 1.10 (last time I updated and checked out PAL on my AVS). I wonder if you've just got some bad ROMs?
