thanx. some time ago i've also noticed i can't set up 50hz modes
on various hw. while previously i could, so i can confirm it affects
other hw.

50hz modes are esp. usefull on analog LCD screens (slows down pixel
clock, so improves sharpness)  , slow hw (bit less stress on VRAM),
  and when using programs like vice , fuse, or other sw. emulating PAL 
computer with exact refresh rate (i do not know why, but they work much 
slower and stutter - probably because vblank signal is firing too often,
trigering update which could be deferred a bit more).
