Just in case anyone else has had a problem with the 50/60hz incompatability using VGA cables, I found an answer on oxm forums:

When you use the VGA lead the output will always be at 60Hz as you can't get any less via VGA. This cannot be changed.

However, there does seem to be an issue with the demo for The Outfit, where people are told it cannot run at 50HZ, even though they are using a VGA or component cable. This is probably a bug in the game which means it is checking the PAL settings for composite and RGB SCART connections when it doesn't need to.

The solution is to connect your console via one of those cables, change the PAL setting to PAL-60, then switch off and plug your VGA cable back in. It should now work fine.

Thanks to Rob289 over there.

Seems the feeding frenzy arcade game also suffers with the same problem.

Hope this helps people with VGA cables out.
