RGB-cable

[SunsetSkyline]

Has anyone else bought a RGB-cable? It's quite propable that you'll only see in black & white when trying to play imports on PAL PS2. That's why you need a RGB-cable, it somehow converts the NTSC signals to PAL signals or some like that.

Just go and buy a decent scart lead.
One with all the pins.

Yea, the RGB-cable I bought had all the pins.

Is this the one with the three phono style sockets out the end?

Edit: Is your TV NTSC compatible?

There is a video and audio (L + R) socket in the middle of the cable. I don't think my TV is NTSC compatible, it's a regular Philips 32".

And now that I played GT3 with the new setup, the graphics seem to sharper and more colorful.

I bought a Joytech cable from play.com for £7 (UK). Which certainly made GT3 + GTC look a hell of a lot better particually menus + text.

NTSC is pretty much TV & modchip(If yours is modded) reliant, since with same console on my old TV it was B&W & new one was colour.

You can also get backup games with switches that alter regions from NTSC/PAL or atleast you could with PS1, I even converted some NTSC games to PAL just so they'd work on my old TV

Can you post a link? Think it good to have it posted as play.com offers free delivery to many countries in EU.

Pretty sure it was this one I ordered http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=PS2&title=115606

Certainly a hell of a lot better than Standard PS2 cables/(Crap)Scart on our 28" Widescreen JVC TV

Doesn't state what brand of cable, but both that one & an Xbox one I ordered recently were Joytech Scarts. Although XBox Joytech scart doesn't seem as good but that was only £5.

Im not getting GT4P, i cant afford shipping and stuff atm, specially for a demo but the cool thing is my VCR supports NTSC and PAL so I can play NTSC game and watch NTSC movies and PAL of course
