Has anyone been able to get Xenon2 and Blood Money to work with
TOS 1.4, including the magazine version of Blood Money?
I've had no luck here. Other games, such as Dungeon Master and
Air Ball work just fine. Spectre GCR works fine with this particular
ST and TOS 1.4.
It's just that the two aforementioned games don't work at all for
me. Surely European programmers follow Atari's undocumented rules
and holy TOS paramaters better than this! Am I the only one or are these
two games incompatible with TOS 1.4?
Please respond direct since INFO-ATARI16 is dead as a magazine. I'll
be glad to summarize.

The biggest problem I have with European games is a lot of them only work in 50 Hz mode. The older color monitors can handle both 50 and 60 Hz signals, but my Atari color monitor, one of the newer ones with the power button on the front, apparently cannot handle. Does anyone have a little patch program that runs in the background and constantly puts the computer in 60Hz mode. I've tried writing one with no luck. I guess, though, that if it did work, the game would start running into timing problems.

The reason why there are 50Hz monitors, is because the European power system is 50Hz, while North America uses 60Hz.
