Title: Black And White + Scrolling
Post by: Tombo1000 on August 13, 2005, 07:59:00 AM

it might be because it's set to ntsc in the region settings needs to be set to pal

Sounds like it's set to PAL and you connected it to an NTSC tv.

If the problem is thats its set to a bad video mode, old black and white tv's and really old computer monitors with composite inputs are usually good at displaying a good enough picture to adjust the settings back to NTSC...

   A quick note on that...these older displays usually have a "vertical hold" dial which is the key, check local second hand stores eg. savers, goodwill, thirft stores. You can get them next to nothing.  I believe security monitors have this feature too.

Hope that helps!

I had a similar problem.

I originally thought the same thing *PAL v.s. NTSC*

Turned out the guy who modded it previous (a buddy) pulled up some traces near the d0 when he realized he put the d0 in the wrong spot.

After a while, I got the crap to fix it (xatco knife & conductive paint) - and its working.



... Just an idea if the *PAL v.s. NTSC* deal dosen't work - check the traces etc.
