   Was using it for a while now, and by chance just yesterday it crashed   
   once.   
      
   Just noticing if I start with a certain song it crashes every time. If I   
   play a different song first and then the other it doesn't crash.   
      
   One question (not to start a new thread). I set the VIC-II settings to   
   PAL, as as an European I am used 50Hz. But some SIDS insist on playing   
   in NTSC (60Hz). Cannot find if the VIC-II settings are ignored, or for   
   what reason some songs "rush through", others not.
