    Ok im a totaly noob when it comes to ps2 chips and mods and shit, but i have chipped my ps2 with Crystal chip v1.2 and i have Bootmanager v2.0.6 and my problem is kind of frustrating.

    When i start a burned game it is in Black and white so i bought a RBG cable for ps2 and it is still Black and white, i have tried to Change the normal ps2 bios so it support RBG but its still Black and white. My TV is a small one with only 1 scart and i dont have any Video configurations on the TV.

    So my question is how can i get some colors in the game, Should i buy a new TV with more scart and video configurations or can all this be solved within the Bootmanager itself. And btw it have been working with no problem on an bigger and better TV then my small one.
    (Cant use the Big better TV if i could i would play on it instead)

    Would be so happy if u guys/girls could help me out

    Just use the Video Wizard in the BM Config menu and all screen settings will be configured to match the abilities of your TV.

    Ok i tested The Video Wizard test but its still no colour. Tried diffrent combos in the test but got the same result as before no colour, if u can come up with other sulutions that would be great.

    Btw im swedish so it might be that the TV cant support NTSC, but i really dont know cuz i can choose NTSC and still see the BM screen in colour and such, Have tried to do the Wiz test in both NTSC and PAL and same results as before.

    Hope to hear from u again

    So every screen shown by video wizard is in color?
    Are the games you tested NTSC or PAL? PAL games should work fine with the default settings, but NTSC should work too, cause NTSC fix is on by default.

    This is really strange, cause if BM is in color, the games should be too.

    Ok... in the Wiz test the two first test is in colour then the two last one is in Black and white. In every way i tested with the answer it was the same, Two with Colour and two without colour.
    So i thought that it would be that way with the test but it seems that it shouldnt.

    The games i tried is NTSC and there is no colour in them but in the PAL games there is colour.


    And one other thing that has been on my mind. When i boot a game i can Choose between Boot in Enhanced mode, Boot in minimal mode and boot in sleep mode.

    Every game i have tried Both PAL and NTSC, they wont start if i Choose Enhanced mode but only in Minimal mode... Is that Normal ?

    U can ignore the last question if u want... im just happy if there is colour and then i dont really care if it is Enhanced mode or minimal

    Thx alot for Trying to help me out here

    If you can't boot games in enhanced mode, autoboot too isn't working, correct?. This occurs when using a hacked firmware with an original BM, so make sure you're using FW and BM from the hacked release.

    Minimal mode disables BM and without BM no screen fixes. So it doesn't matter what you choose in screen settings or video wizard, cause you're not able to use it anyways in minimal mode.

    Install FW and BM from the hacked release and everything will work fine.
