@digitaLumberjack can someone explain me why i can't play pal games on a pal tv, really i don't have clear this
@0zzy I have not a solution, I just noticed that I cannot play PAL games for Atari 7800, they just do not start, I dont know why.
About your question, you mean that you cannot play PAL games on full screen, right? I remember that some PAL Atari 2600 games are bad conversion that only use a part of the lines of PAL system, it means they are in NTSC resolution but displayed in PAL standard with higher resolution.
Do you have a problem with just few PAL games or all ?

PAL games or all ?
Hi @Wizzard, yes i have this black borders on the top and bottom of the screen only on pal games.
As @Bkg2k and @digitaLumberjack say, the problem is the different refresh rate and resolution between pal and ntsc games, but i don't understand why this happen only on crt tv and not on lcd screen (on a normal lcd tv i can play both using batocara).
I was tryng to understand if i can manually bypass this, editing system.txt and a modes.txt, , so i can play pal games insted of ntsc, but i don't know how interpreter that mode line as i asked a few lines ago.
@0zzy OK, and does that problem occur on all PAL games or just a few PAL games? I am trying to understand, cause I will apparently have similar problem in a few days after I get my pi2scart.

Pal games are starting in PAL mode 50HZ like on the original pal hardware :
there was black bars on pal games, as the mode was 288p with 224 or 240 pixel height games.We are working on a option to select the mode of pal games when starting it : PAL or NTSC.
Just not implemented yet.
Hi @digitalLumberjack , has been solved in Recalbox 8.0.1 ?
@0zzy yes the feature is present in recalbox 8.0.1, still experimental though. Enable the region selection from the crt menu.

Hi @digitalLumberjack , i have enabled "select game refresh rate at launch" but snes games still have black bars,
is there anything I can do to fix it?
@0zzy do you start them in 60hz ?
@digitalumberjack i have enabled only these options, 
when i run a snes games, i have no other menu or voice to select between 50/60 hz
what else i miss? is there another menu?

Hi @digitaLumberjack can you explain me how? I havent seen any particular setup about it.
@0zzy yes we have a little bug that will be fixed for the next release.
The 50/60hz mode cannot be forced yet

Hi @digitalLumberjack is there a public release planning? I'm looking every day for a new release 
Hi, i'm waiting my own rgbdual but for now i have enabled this update using my pi2scart.
update.type=recalboxrgbdual
50/60 Hz selection is now available, and pal games on snes are more "wider" now, but the image is a few centimeters shifted down.
On EmulationStation the image is centered, is there an option to center the image only for specific emulators?
