PS1/2 ps1 colour fix

[redact]

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 know it's a bit early but, BUMP!

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?

Probably the easiest way to go would be to just change your TV mode to NTSC.

What AV cables are you using?

all it says on there is "Futuretronics RF Switch for playstation"

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.

that was first thing that came up in google search. PS2 RGB scart cables will also work as they have the same connectors as PSX consoles.
You will get a much sharper picture from RGB as well so it's definitely worth getting hold of one.

hope that works, coz i just used my last 14 bucks on it

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.
