NTSC to PAL converter

Post by toapfan »

If I use something like this:

will it slow down gameplay like a PAL console?

The video DOES get converted from 480i60 to 576i50 and a little bit of stutter will introduced, so I would avoid this when playing games with smooth scrolling, but the game remains in the speed.

No, it's just a colour system converter. All analog. The output is 60 Hz PAL.
