Ok bought a second hand PSX, is modchipped but NTSC games appear in black and white, sure I can use Boot Loader and that seems to work fine but is there a way to get into the PS1 and change the region of the system?

If not what's the easiest way to convert NTSC games into pal and yes I've tried Console Copy World, that place hasn't updated in years :/

Easiest way? Not converting at all. Just buy a RGB cable from Ebay for a couple of dollars and you'll be able to play unpatched games in color. With the huge advantage of them staying in 60 Hz and a dramatically improved picture.

That's too bad. Maybe you should look into buying a PS2, which at least has component output which you can convert into HDMI for better quality picture. Sorry, can't give you advice on converting as I'm (obviously ;) ) not a fan of that technique.

Scart to component convertor, assuming your tv has them + supports 240p. If you don't want to do that, then

100X & 550X need a replacement crystal to keep it outputting PAL colour, the others need points bridged and lifted.

    Some CRTs are very much worth the price
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
