So, yeah, my modded SCPH-1002 PS1 plays NTSC games with what I can only describe as a rainbow gradient across the screen, along with the colours just generally being f***ed up:

My TV is picking it up us an NTSC signal. So I guess the PS1 is trying to output NTSC? But just... in rainbow? Could it be something to do with the modchip?
Now, I was mostly content using a bootdisc to play my imports. But I was just curious, is there some kind of fix for this? It would be convenient to not have to use the bootdisc every time I want to play a game and it would be nice to have the games playing at NTSC speed (although, this doesn't bug me too much.)
Just as long as the solution isn't a pain in the ass.

How do you have this console connected to your TV? According to the web, you either need an RGB SCART cable or do a hardmod (not a modchip) to fix the problem.

It's connected with AV cables.
I'm not able to use a SCART cable. None of my TVs have a SCART port. I don't think I've even ever come across a TV with a SCART port. They're pretty uncommon in Australia for some reason.
It looks like it isn't going to be a simple fix... Oh well. I guess I might just have to stick with using my bootdisc.

Wait a minute. I just realized something. On my old TV my PS1 played NTSC games in black and white. When I tried to find a fix to make the games play in colour, one of the solutions was to use the console on a HD TV, since HD TVs can accept both PAL and NTSC signals, or something like that, which my old TV couldn't... If that makes sense... I'm bad a explaning s**t. I could be remembering wrong.
Since I'm using a HD TV now... shouldn't there be no issues playing NTSC games in proper colour? I get the felling it is something to do with the mod chip...

    My insurance has a thing called, " Nope, we aren't paying for that." that they like to use on us all the time. Then we play the "Ok we will go to some other insurance company." then they miraculously say ok we will pay for that.
