Its a simple fix to make it play full speed and full screen, although you may be playing on a LCD and it probably doesn't matter.
As above, both work great - I have a Darksoft version, very nice it is too.
Have you checked the back of your TV, most uk televisions of that era had a scart socket, if you want to run arcade boards you need one.
As above that scart to phono adaptor you have will not work.
