Hacking Is it possible to change the PSP Composite color signal from NTSC to PAL from Homebrew?

Hi, I have a PSP 3000, and I saw it came with a Composite/Compontent cable.
I tried connecting the PSP to my old CRT TV to play PS1 games in 240p, but the image was in black and white. I found out the PSP uses NTSC video, and there's no way of changing the color signal from the XMB menu, so maybe it's possible through Homebrew? I don't know, so I thought someone here could answer my question.

Is it possible to change the PSP Composite color signal from NTSC to PAL from Homebrew?

I can't give you a definitive answer, but I'd have thought not as it would be something that's handled at a hardware level via a DAC.
It may be something that can be worked around with different cables (my original modchipped Playstation would only display NTSC games in colour on my CRT with one specific SCART cable through one specific SCART input on that TV).
You're unfortunately in a very niche group of people that want to run a PSP on a PAL CRT (and, tbh, the last PAL CRT I had that wasn't NTSC compliant was probably 30 years ago!).

Oof, for some reason, my Trinitron is not compatible with NTSC. It's so old, it doesn't have a service menu.

Aw, that's a shame. I wonder why Sony didn't use PAL for European PSPs.
