    Been looking into this more. I can use 5x optimized modes on PAL consoles (each tweaked to their own).
    I tested 4x optimized on PAL with my PC monitor and it did work but with the cutoff that occurs on PAL. On compatible displays, increasing the V. Active to 270 can fix this but on my TV, this isn’t an option.

    Going through my N64 games, the following games are unaffected by cropping

    Turok 2
    Wave Race 64
    Super Mario 64
    Duke Nukem 64
    MArio Kart 64
    Bomberman 64

    The following games have workaround in the form of letterboxing

    007 The World is Not Enough – Activate Hi-Colour mode
    Goldeneye 007 – Use Wide or Cinema screen size
    Perfect Dark – Same as Goldeneye 007
    Army Men – Sarge’s Heroes – Use letterbox view mode

    So as always, it is dependent on the display with PC monitors and 4k TVs more likely to cope.

    Just to note, my PC montitor will not accept 5x from a PAL console but my TV will.
