Pal 60Hz mod guide?
Post Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2012 8:29 pm
Hi.

I've heard it's pretty simple to make a Master System 1 PAL console from 50 to 60Hz.

I have searched on Google but have not yet found a good guide or tutorial. Are there some here who have a guide?

Thanks

It is a very easy mod to do All you need is wire and a switch. Here is a very simple guide on youtube :)

It is a simple mod but requires a bit of skill with a soldering iron, as you have to lift Pin 57 from the Mobo and solder to it.

I have performed this mod plenty of times but it can be fiddly, and if you break the pin off you will be stuck in 50 Hz forever :-(

if you are not confident doing this mod drop me a PM and we'll see if we can get something sorted

You don't need to lift a pin you can cut the trace near it and then solder a wire to the pin.
