PAL60 is to all intents and purposes an NTSC picture, at NTSC resolution and 60Hz refresh rate, with a PAL colour carrier. PAL60 is a 525 line display, whereas PAL (aka PAL50 or “normal PAL”) is 625 lines and 50Hz. NB: Not all PAL TVs support PAL60; some games are improved by the option, some are made worse (”choppier” framerate), and some games completely ignore the option and output PAL50 regardless of the dashboard setting.
