Laziness - pure and simple, the modifications are fairly easy to do if you're familiar with electronics to a basic degree, so imagine how straight-forward it would be for the manufacturers themselves with access to all the technical details to optimise PAL machines on a hardware and software level.
They could do it, but can't be bothered very often. I can count on one hand the amount of PAL computers and consoles I've owned since 1980 that were optimised properly for our TV standard.
Youre right, but PAL has more scanlines, higher resolution ( 720 x 576) and color Quality is better too, about sharpness, well, I can't see a real difference, but as PAL supports since over 20 years 60 Hz (just not all Tvs did before), Today every TV supports PAL 60. I really prefer PAL. About your frames per second, which is not a matter for analog Tv, because, as you know, Movies in Cinemas around the globe have just 24 frames! :)
The Problem is just, that Game-developers programmed for NTSC , which has less resolution, so that Games in PAL had this stupid bars. Why they put a slower Chip-set into their systems, its for me just unbelievable.
the music speeds up in 60Hz - the pitch is the same. this should happen to your Alex Kidd too. I dont think the pitch is increased on other games on the Master System, but the speed should go up
I have a question. I just fitted a 50/60hz switch on my megadrive and it works wonders. I'll also do the Master System as I get it back however most videos I've seen still show smaller borders in 60hz mode. Do you know if that's how a typical NTSC machine worked like?
i did this to my Sega Master System II, 50Hz PAL Austrailian model, also With Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in, and it's awesome!

I want to play my SNES in RGB so bad!
zedrein18 2 years ago
the SNES has RGB - just go and buy an SNES (or modded Game Cube) RGB cable...
scorpius26 2 years ago
Yes, but I don't have a display capable of 15 kHz RGB.

why didn't the darn developers just speed up the games for Pal , so it's even to the Ntsc versions?
Almost 20 god damn years games have been to slow in pal regions. It just makes me mad

NTSC -> faster
PAL -> better picture
Rumburak2006 3 years ago
Better picture? Not really. When in PAL mode you get ugly horizontal borders, so you don't get any extra resolution out of it.

They don't get extra resolution, but they get RGB, which in the US is really hard to find a display that will accept a RGB signal.
