I'd like to see original hardware usage of this - do you have an actual machine?
Is there a video detailing this with actual hardware?

Just recorded this on real hardware and here's the result:


I tried to edit my report to include the video and got an error message, by the way:

Currently, it appears that monitor resolution and refresh are set based the solder links on the PCB.
This can be set in the Machine Configuration menu, so it might work better if that is set to 60Hz.

So, your monitor is automatically adjusting to the new frequency after a time, or does it need to be manually told to adjust?

I had to reach the CTM 644's V-Hold knob and manually adjust it myself.

Also I have to note that the colors don't actually change as it may seem from the video, it's just the effect of recording the different refresh rates with the cell phone.

I'll acknowledge this. Not sure if it will ever work outside of using the Machine Config switch ad mahemiut mentioned.

Just received an RGB cable for the CPC, testing results on a CRT TV are as follows:


The picture adjusts itself automatically after the change, no need to touch anything.
It also gets automatically stretched just like any game console does when switching resolutions.
No garbage leftovers are kept on screen, unlike MAME's behavior.
