Funny, I always thought PAL with its 50Hz refresh rate looked more flickery than NTSC at 60Hz...  Maybe interlacing is less offensive at 50Hz?  I generally don't touch interlaced modes with a 10 foot pole unless a flickerfixer is involved.

What does that even mean?  You got out an exacto knife and started chopping traces?


There is a PAL/NTSC jumper on the A4000/A4000T motherboards.

Are you 100% sure about that?

Anyway, I've always found switching the motherboard to PAL mode to be the way to go, since it makes it a lot easier to run the foreign games which are so readily available and won't run in NTSC mode.  On the off-chance I need NTSC, there's always the early startup menu. With an LCD I don't have to worry about PAL flicker.
