Pegasus/Dendy hardware

Hi. I've decided to get back to running the PAL version, but I've recently sold my PAL NES, so the only way to play this version on console in 50Hz pace is my old Pegasus famiclone. This clone is basically the same console as the Russian Dendy. The biggest problem with this hardware is that it has both PAL and NTSC features, because it was meant to be multi-region, so I'm not sure if a run done on this hardware would be legit.

Here are the specs: https://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Clock_rate (see Dendy) http://www.pegasus-gry.com/pegasus-mt-777-dx.php (Polish) and a short playthrough video I've made for comparison with PAL NES.

The game sounds different, because of the chip used in this console, but I didn't notice any difference in timing - according to NESDev, the framerate is identical to the original. BTW the screen border is exactly the same as in PAL NES, I've just messed up my grabber settings for this recording.

Just as long as it runs lag and loading times properly. PAL is faster for this game since it has full flagpole glitches

I did not notice any gameplay difference after playing on both original NES-001E and this console for quite some time. The loading times seem to be the same (tested with SMB 1,2 and 3, Contra and Super C) compared to my earlier recordings from PAL NES and FCEUX 2.2.3. I'd really like to submit a run on this console, but I want to be sure it won't get rejected just because I'm using it.
