In fairness, does the 50Hz thing matter as much for N64 games? Their framerates were often terrible and many of them just run smoother on the VC.

I have only S&P (60 Hz only) and Lylat Wars (a.k.a. Starfox 64) on the VC. Lylat Wars always had a solid framerate, so I didn't notice any difference.

The 50 Hz effect is pronounced the most on N64 games though, due to the low framerates. A game that ran at 30 fps in 60 Hz, would only display 25 fps in 50 Hz while the remaining 5 frames would be displayed in the following second. Games with lower framerates than that (and some N64 games had that) can be a real problem, because they don't run smooth at all.

I checked it and you're right, PAL games run at 50Hz on the VC. It sucks in theory, but I must VC games seem to run smoother on the VC than on their old consoles. Not sure how that is possible though.
