Hi. I have a couple of PS2 consoles here and I have the PAL version of Rayman 1. When I run the game on my CRT TV it looks fine but it's 50hz (17% slower)

So I'm using GSM to select the special PS1 mode but there's only 2 modes and both seem to cause flicker 50hz or 60hz. The game just running in the original mode looks perfect and must be using 240p or something similar but I can't do that on GSM. It causes the game to have flicker even if it's set to 50hz with the tool even though the game is originally 50hz.

It probably wouldn't bother other people but it looks so smooth the default way and after GSM you can see it shaking up and down vertically. Basically is there some sort of way to either force 240p or else use deflicker to make it look more steady at 60hz?

The whole point of this is that 60hz makes the game full speed but I'd like to get it to not have the flicker also.

I've been using psxlauncher lately, but only in order to run ntsc games fullscreen. Have you tested if changing a pal game to 50hz works on an emulator? I know this is not the best advice since the shaking is both in 50hz and 60hz for you

The odd thing is it doesn't seem to happen at the original 50hz the game runs at but only the GSM mode. I think it's because its 480i instead of 240p but I could be wrong. I'll check out what you said

I set up Popstarter on my HDD instead and it seems to work perfectly fine that way for some reason. 60hz full screen with no flicker.
