English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Why Demos run in perfect resolution in WinUAE but not on real NTSC Amigas?

Generally speaking ALL demos are in PAL 50hz. Some give a 60hz option, but they are few and far between. This isn't surprising considering like 99% of them are coded by Europeans.

You can try holding down both mouse buttons when you power your Amiga on and press any key to switch from 60 to 50hz. Then click Boot. This is the early boot screen.

This doesn't work for all software in my experience but a good place to start.
