I thought about this, but the Genesis graphics chip actually outputs RGB to a Sony CXA composite decoder, which supports both PAL and NTSC, which is determined by an oscillator. On the Genesis, when I shift to 50Hz the entire system bus changes, so I would think that would change the frequency going into the CXA chip as there's only one oscillator in the system. I'll need to scope it out, perhaps it still stays the same..
