|  Our PAL machines may be faster!...
 Our PAL machines may be faster! Let's try it with a new tech demo, ECMETER, that shows how much faster can become programs with your display. The complement program, NTSC Throttle, is a practical tool that just makes your computer faster for your favorite applications. The distribution disk also contains a very simple benchmark program, SBENCH, to test the new velocities.

Yape doesn't work with this program when the WinGL/OpenGL driver is used. Other drivers works quite fine. Use also the CRT emulation. Plus4emu works but shows too strange artefacts when too many extra lines are installed.

I'm looking at the ReadMe screenshot and see something curious. You wrote that TED gets overclocked. Well, in NTSC mode no, it doesn't. You don't change the clock frequency of the TED by disrupting standard screen generation with your additional border lines. Therefore, there is neither overclocking nor under-clocking.
Furthermore, YAPE or plus4emu being able or unable coping with these shenanigans doesn't count as a reference. The question is what will happen with actual displays like the original Commodore and compatible monitors, or CRT TVs people use with the machines. The fully digital displays of our days probably will have a hard time producing any picture.
