Description
Title says it all. My UK TOS (tos102uk.img) matches the recommended hashes. When I load games using the US TOS (tos102us.img), it works and boots up, as expected, but everything, most notably the music plays too fast, since it is running at 60hz when it is intended to run at 50hz. For reference, I have tried 1943 and Chuck Rock as examples, and they both have "sped up" music compared to videos online.
Only the UK TOS will allow the games to run at proper speed of 50hz. According to some information, I should get at least an error message if my TOS file doesn't match, but RetroArch simply crashes to desktop when I try loading a valid UK TOS (tos102uk.img). I don't understand what the problem is. I am also using Windows 10. Please help!

Research direction
Reproduce the crash on Windows 10 with the recommended tos102uk.img and tos102us.img hashes, using 1943 or Chuck Rock, and compare the 50Hz and 60Hz behavior. The issue is resolved when the valid UK TOS no longer crashes RetroArch, or when an informative error identifies the incompatibility.
