Hello I just bought PlayStation 1 with installed modchip. PlayStation is PAL SCPH-5552. I use SCART cable on my PAL TV. When I play burned on CD PAL games there is no problem. But when I play burned NTSC games the picture is black and white only. Is it possible some mod so NTSC games also be in color?
I have the same model PSX with modchip. My TV was a CRT Sony but it had two SCART sockets one displayed in colour when used while the other displayed in black and white.
Other than that, my suggestions are:
TV is too old
Buy a different SCART cable

You need to convert your NTSC signal into a PAL one, there's boot disks out there that does that but keep in mind that not every game will work with a boot disk
You cant used the "original " scart cable. You need to get a "RGB" scart cable. Check on ebay or similar places. This will make your tv show color on NTSC games.
Have fun!
Have fun!
I just tried on 10+ years old CRT TV with no luck - still black and white. I will check ebay for RGB SCART cable as you say. I just checked ebey the all say REAL RGB SCART cable. Is that one genuine? http://www.ebay.com/itm/PLAYSTATION...924887?hash=item235e0f6e17:g:wJoAAOSw-W5UvpT3

Hi,
From what i could tell, yes. The easiest way is to see if the "scart" cable have all "pins" on scart. The normal RCA scarts only have a few pins. But some models have all "pins" but not all connected.
I would say that price of the above item is "ok" but i guess you could find it cheeper if you look arround.

@Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons. -

Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

Man, that's beyond my brain
I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though -

@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1

Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

@Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.+1
