I've also got a german PC port shareware program called Pacman. I'm sure
this one isn't licenced, still the creator of this doesn't seem to have
been sued yet, though the program is out for 5 years now.
And Eckhard Stolberg:

This could be a rounding error. The normal PAL frequency is, as far as I
know, 312,5 lines (in normal interlaced TV). 50 Hz as well states the
normal TV frequency. So, if you only display 312 lines on every frame,
the Hz have to be a bit faster (?!)
With love (and many scanlines to sync to)
