    Hi,

    New to the group and new STE owner. I have a question that I hope someone here can help answer or point me in the right direction.

    ST software, mainly games, had better support in the UK working on 50 Hz. And I am aware that there was an app that allowed UK users to force switch 60 Hz programs to run in 50 Hz. Are there any apps that will do just the opposite so that UK software
    can run on a NTSC system?

    I've tried using Bootsie but don't know if I used it right or not. When I tried to create a 60 Hz boot disk with it the ST returns that the disk is not usable until I format it again. When I do that the boot disk I tried to create is gone.

    Any assistance offered is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for any help offered.

    There is an app 5060hz.prg that just switches the display frequency.

    Using Bootsie may make some games do not work.

    Thank you. Is there a button I have to press once a game is loaded to switch hertz?
