blu said:Kilrogg, that's really weird. i assume all your pal games work over both these cable setups, right? btw, does your tv have any other non-RF inputs aside from scart?
frankly, i'm totally at a loss here. disregarding the rgb scart, that composite should just work. i mean, it's not like the PAL and NTSC composite signals differ in anything but timing.Kilrogg said:No idea whatsoever? Not even the slightest suggestion? Like, I don't know... Do you think an S-Video cable and a S-Video SCART adaptor would do the trick?
blu said:the only thing coming to mind is to ask at the gecko os forums, maybe somebody else there has encountered a similar issue.
ps: have you ever successfully run any pal60 games on your setup?
pps: just to confirm the suspicion, i'd check how the current wii+fw+gecko+cable+TvC work on another, possibly newer tv set.

Works fine IF your TV supports NTSC 60Hz. Free anti-aliasing too ! Downside, composite does look really sucky....
SDTV
60Hz AND NTSC compatible : perfect imperfect composite picture, Smash away, just don;t look for details on the characters, they are there, you just can't see em.
60Hz Compatible but incapable of NTSC : Black and White
60Hz Incompatible : Rolling image top to bottom
PAL + Freeloader + SVideo
Best solution if you're component-less, BUT you need a TV that supprts NTSC 60Hz
PAL + Freeloader + RGB : NOT COMPATIBLE !
Tough luck, Virtual-Boy-O-rama. Totally red/black. Sucks cause most PAL TV's only support NTSC 60Hz through RGB.
PAL + Freeloader + Component
Best solution, alas, most SDTV's are without component inputs in euroland.
So, now that we have the TV problems out of the way, lets see if your Wii is one of the Wii's incapable of running Smash Bros Brawl because of laserproblems/smokers-Wii
Dascu said:Kilrogg, sorry to hear that.
I had the same problem with No More Heroes. Solution: Got a new TV. Guess you know what to get for New Year's. :/

Kilrogg said:Yay...
Someone also told me that Japanese Dreamcast games support PAL60, that's why they worked properly. Crushes any hope I had left.
I might be able to get another TV without buying a new one. I just hope it'll be 60Hz compatible.
Thank you for your answer ^^.
Oh well, Merry Christmas anyway .
By the way, if you know where I can get a cheap good enough TV, please let me know. I don't care if it's CRT, LCD, HD or SD, 16:9 or 4:3, as long as it's not Plasma, supports NTSC and doesn't have a completely crappy image quality.
Burai said:Did you have an RGB cable for your Dreamcast? If so, NTSC and PAL don't come into it, just 50Hz and 60Hz so PAL60 and NTSC are the same thing as far as your TV's scart socket is concerned. It only makes a difference if you use RF, composite or s-video.
The reason the Wii won't do the same thing is because Nintendo set the AV-out to not support RGB on NTSC consoles (thus the red image) and to not support s-video on PAL consoles to discourage importing. By forcing NTSC mode, you basically tell the Wii to switch to s-video mode and therefore your RGB lead won't work any more.
Kilrogg said:[EDIT] By the way, does that mean that, if I played the game on a Japanese Wii on my TV, the game would be displayed properly?

Tenbatsu said:Preparation for MadWorld!:lol
Only played it for a few days. Managed to get a new (HD LCD) TV fairly soon. It was bearable, but also kind of ironic considering how I imported NMH to get the red bloodfountain instead of the black pixel cloud in the PAL version. Didn't really make a difference if it's in black & white though. :lolKilrogg said:[EDIT] Dascu, did you get used to playing NMH in black and white? I don't think I could for a game like TvC. Luckily, I might solve the problem by tonight . I'll take my grandmother's TV set if it can display the game properly and give her the old TV.

Kilrogg said:I had the cable that comes with the console, so I assume it was composite... Unless the Dreamcast came with an RGB cable in Europe? I doubt it, but who knows.
Anyway, thanks for the info. It's one thing to make your console region-locked, because at least you can argue that it allows for more control, but to deter people from importing games? I like Nintendo, but that's just lame :/.

Rayne.S said:Dreamcast did came with an RGB cable in euroland .... Only console that ever did btw !
Kilrogg said:Which proves how awesome it was.
Good news: got the other TV, which is slightly less old and... it works!
I have to play through composite, but I don't mind much, as long as all the colors are there .
Thanks again everyone.
Rayne.S said:They are there allright ... here, there everywhere ... bleeding down the screen thanks to glorious Composite
Kilrogg said:Haha . I much prefer that to being reminded of the Virtual Boy, which I've never owned in the first place for a reason.
You need to get 3 different Capcom character endings to unlock Viewtiful Joe. He should be in the shop for 2000 points then. Killing Yami with a Capcom character's tag attack doesn't count by the way.Kilrogg said:There's something I don't get about Ippatsuman and Viewtiful Joe:
When people say you have to clear the game 3 times with a Capcom character (VJ) or a Tatsunoko character (Ippatsuman), what do they actually mean?
I'm pretty sure I've cleared the game with at least 3 different Capcom characters (dishing the final blow to Yami), and Viewtiful Joe still doesn't appear in the shop. Am I mistaken, or is there something I'm missing?
Ookami-kun said:Who is this Hinata character?
And XD Zero Akuma.
He's in Soki's ending, together with Red Arremer. Awesome cross-over cameo.kinosama said:I'd have loved Arthur to be in this game.
