PS1/PSone Mod Chips
Comments

No hassle, explaining it by text though would have made it sound way more complex than it is
It's actually about 30 seconds of clicking only. Funnily enough I couldn't get Policenauts to boot though by this method, but it boots in the emulator using only step 1 out of the three. This might cause it to roll though on a normal tv, I'll confirm when I do another chip install.
As I said, it's not an exact science, play around with the methods & there are other tools if you google ps1 region changer/patcher etc0 -

Hey man, I've been playing Einhander all evening. Let me dress up as a domanatrix and beat midgets on stilts to death in peace

Ah mystery solved so, luckily it didn't do any damaiste
Anyway, it's booting everything I throw at it Retr0, first time no boot disc needed. However there's one thing confusing me. This is the first one I've done through the tv ok, & it's rf for the moment. All the import discs look exactly the same as a 60Hz Megadrive on RF though my tv (that means black & white & the image is jumping about a bit). Is this because it's rf? I'll look into it later on, but I know it's not hardware related. It's either something on the import discs, or down to rf.0 -

There's also some rattling in my PSOne, but I can't bring myself to break the warranty seal on it! So it just sits there, ignored and sulky.
Well in this case I can honestly say I havn't the faintest idea how to make a fada
A PS1 with a warranty seal? Wow, I thought they'd all be cracked open for new lasers by now 0 -

Cmon man, I only recently leared how to do a € sign, & that still takes me two or three attempts sometimes 0 -

That probably means your tv doesn't support NTSC.
Only way to test it out is via RGB as that bypasses the whole NTSC issue.0 -

But I can play Megadrives in 60Hz in perfectly via RBG? Does that still mean it doesn't support NTSC? I get confused at all this format talk sometimes
Actually the discs that were making your PAL lcd screen roll, are the ones playing in b&w...would that mean anything either way? The ones I patched with the colour fix are playing perfectly, though again that could be just down to either rf or my tv
ANYONE GIVING ME CONSOLES IN FUTURE GIVE IT WITH RGB OR SCART:D 0 -

When it comes to standard stuff, 60hz NTSC will display in black and white (and sometimes roll) on a PAL 50hz tv that doesn't support it. Which is most old PAL CRTs. This will happen through cables like RF and AV.
RGB is this magical signal outside of the world of standard signals. It completely bypasses NTSC and just displays everything properly at 60hz in full colour. Even if the TV wouldn't normally support NTSC 60hz.
Another selling point for RGB. I couldn't believe it when I first found that out as I thought I wouldn't be able to play JAP/US consoles on my CRT.
Edit/ if the NSTC games are rolling on my PSone it means that the LCD screen probably doesn't support RGB...I wouldn't be suprised as picture quality wise, RGB is a bit worthless on such a small screen. The quality difference wouldn't be noticeable.
So the true test of that Playstation is RGB cable into an RGB slot...and hope for the best. Do you not even have an RGB cable for your ps2 no? For shame!0 -

Ah I see, maybe so. Are there PAL & NTSC versions of those screen also?
I do have the standard PS2 conenction, does that fit the PS1? If so I'll trawl up & dig it out tommorow & try it out 0 -

But I'm using a 42" 100Hz Plasma...I would have thought it would do NTSC, but again maybe that's just as you said because of a standard connection (rf).
Your tv probably does do NTSC through the scart sockets...but RF is very old tech. I'm not too up on that to be honest...I think your RF jack is either PAL or NTSC. I've never come across a PAL tv that supported NTSC consoles through the RF jack.Ah I see, maybe so. Are there PAL & NTSC versions of those screen also?

It does indeed...but it would need to be a ps2 RGB scart rather than the pretend AV scart one that came with it.0 -

Ah cool. Because my collection lives in storage, I havn't yet got around to RGB'ising every thing yet
It's just that standard 3 phono on a socketed scart head I think, so no use? i just wanna know if it's a setting that needs to be patched in the images, or just rf on my tv being fussy 0 -

That cable won't detect RGB (as it's not an RGB cable) so will only output the signal in NTSC 60hz.
As your tv is a modern plasma, it more than likely supports NTSC 60hz through the scart sockets..so theoretically (!) you should get colour, non rolling picture with that cable.
I'll give it a bash in the morning so, if it works then it's onto who ever is next in the ps1 queue 0 -

Sorry was working the polls only back now. Best way to check if it;s a TV problem is to use the RF cable on a PS2 and boot up a game that has a 60Hz option and see if it's the same. Probably not an issue though since I won't be playing in anything less than RGB.
Looks like I lucked out with atavan halens freebie PS1. Just hope his one works or I'll feel bad 0 -
