TV Tuner card 25/30 FPS issue

Anyone run their Atari computer through a TV tuner card connected to their PC? I know some games out there has an issue with some models that can only show at 30 frames per second instead of 60. Games that use Super-IRG mode, 480i, or showing player/missiles in alternate frames may have display issues. I played around with stuff that alternates slower, but becomes more obvious. Best solution is a TV tuner card that does full NTSC 60 or PAL 50 for old video game consoles and computers.

50/60 FPS fields. Games I made like Secretum Labyrinth, Delta Space Arena, and Megaoids all made use of 2 alternating character sets for Super IRG mode. HeliCommander has 8 bullets from the missiles showing in alternate frames. Working on a hidden feature for HeliCommander that will have an option to switch every 2 frames just in case I get a complaint from someone that bought the cartridge and tries hooking up their computer to a TV tuner card like mine that can only do 30 FPS. Then again, any custom hardware or set up people use is at their own risk. Atari 8-bit games are normally intended for stock Atari computers hooked up to a TV or Monitor.
