This is the original Atari 2600 hardware. On Atari 2600+ it probably dosen't matter, since it is an emulator. This just a heads up for people with an original PAL 2600 console.
It seems that Mr. Run and Jump in EU stores is the NTSC version. Tested it on both NTSC/PAL Atari 2600. Colors are definitely off on PAL Atari 2600. I also have Berzrk enhanced, haven't tested it yet. Bought them on Amazon Germany. The boxes have the German age rating and the game description is in 5 languages, as EU PAL games normally have.
When selecting the game you see the Harmony logo and then the screen turns black with the "droning tone".
The same thing happens when I run SIMPSONS E716k V2.bin

Yes and the screen goes black.
I have now also tested it on my Atari 2600 Vader(PAL). On this it works with both Harmony Encore & PlusCart.

Hi Marco,
Thank's for a fantastic game
Can get it to run on PlusCart + Atari 2600(4 switcher, Sunnyvale). Fails with the Harmony Encore.
It fails on Atari 7800 with both PlusCart and Harmony Encore.
Changed to e7, no diffrence.
When playing Thrust on cart on R77 the ship constantly thrusting(like I pressing the joystick up). When using Thrust rom file everything work as expected.
Is it a setting I need to change?
Small and annoying update. Got a PAL Atari 2600 today. Tested the new PSU on the faulty unit. Played maybe five minutes before it crashed. For five minutes I thought I had a working unit. Next step, change the ICs. At least I now have a working PAL unit.
@Al_Nafuur I tried to do what you suggested. I reached the PlusCart menu. I navigated to the menu down to the entry below firmware upgrade before the system rebooted and I ended up at the screen before menu(with the plus logo) before the system”crashed” with vertical lines with and beeping sound.
Is it possible to use CPU, RIOT and TIA chip from a PAL Atari 2600 on a NTSC? In know that NTSC TIA is different, but if I just want to test the function.
