− | |The most well-known Famiclone - sold in Russia by Steepler, even likely outselling the official PAL model NES... In technical details, it's basically the same as an NTSC-J Famicom running at 50Hz + SECAM colour mode and with the correct audio pitch (unlike the PAL NES, which has a bunch of other changes to the CPU and PPU that break timing-sensitive games) - this thread on nesdev explains more: https://forums.nesdev.org/viewtopic.php?t=20931. | + | |The most well-known Famiclone - sold in Russia by Steepler, even likely outselling the official PAL model NES...

Quite a few Famicom emulators, such as [[FCEUX]] and [[Mesen]], can run in this timing if set to do so manually. The main reason to use this over NTSC would be if some pirate game targeted PAL Famiclones, other than that there's hardly much difference to it than running in NTSC unless you're nostalgic for the unoptimised slowed-down versions from pirate multicarts. |
