hey all,

i just bought a scph5502 pal psx off ebay for soldering practice and i put a modchip (this one) in it and the backups and everything work fine, but ntsc games are either black and white (on my crap tv) or completely munted colours (on my good tv), does anyone know if there's anything i can do to fix it

I do remember there was a color fix modders would do but I don't remember the details. There is also the option of patching the images for PAL before burning I guess.

EDIT: There is info here for 5002 http://fatcat.co.nz/psx/index.htm under install docs

thanks for the link, but that site seems to be full of broken links ;(

EDIT: nvm,it seems to be working now

EDIT2: does anyone know what the "Colour Correction Module" is?

sorry to double posts, but i just wanted to know if there's any homebrew (like a swap-disk) that would force the ntsc games to boot in pal60?

RF cable is the problem.

Get an RGB scart cable and it'll run everything fine in full colour, NTSC and PAL regardless of the consoles region.

where can i get one of those?

Yeah it will do. I had same problem back in 1997 when i first got a psx. RGB scart fixed color problems up just fine for me.

To make you feel safer about your purchase here is a quote from another site regrading the same problem you're having.

The problem is on imports only. Copies from your country will play with your existing set-up 100%. Imports can use another colour format (Europe and Australia uses PAL, USA and Japan uses NTSC) this means you will get a BW picture if you do not use a Red-Green-Blue scart lead thus bypassing all the colour encoding systems in the Playstation and your TV. Therefore a RGB scart lead is essential for playing imported games with other colour format. Imported games will work fine on most TV's as long as you use a scart lead to get the RGB (Red Green Blue) signals from the Playstation into the TV. This is by far the best way of connecting a TV anyway, because all your games are a little bit sharper with it.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
