My PS2 has really hard time booting PS1 games

[vsub]

its never a good idea to mess with the hardware...

I don't use it(my PS1)at all and I'm not a noob at soldering(I moded my PS2)

most tv's have pal/ntsc support if yours doesnt the get a color converter their cheap, i use a tv card on my pc so i can select pal or ntsc

My TV have PAL,N3.58,N4.43 and Secam for color modes and I too have tv card on my PC which supports 3 NTSC modes,9 PAL modes and 8 Secam modes but it's still black and white on all my NTSC games(on my PS2 is ok on any PS1/2 game PAL or NTSC)

BTW like I said before I have color converter but I just wanted to know if there is a way to have color without using it.

[lolwut]

it's still black and white on all my NTSC games

i c,
well thats just weird, cause i have ps1 and its ok with the tv & tv card

Most likely it is your PS1 console that is limited to producing only the colour carrier modulation of the region it was designed for. I'm still not sure what region that console was made for, but I assume that it gives you a good signal giving colour display when playing games from that same region. But when you play games from another region you lose the colour, right ?

The simple fix to that problem is to completely eliminate the colour modulation, by abandoning the use of composite video (as supported by original PS1/PS2 cables) and instead using proper RGB/component outputs.

You still need a TV set with multi-region capability for proper synching, but the colour transfer should not be region-dependent at all with such a setup, so no extra adaption of any games will be needed on that account.

Unfortunately there is one drawback of this usage though, which is that you lose some delay inherent in the colour modulation stage, so that your RGB/component signals arrive 'earlier' at the TV set than the composite video signals did, causing a shift of the visible picture towards (and partly out of) the left side of the screen. Usually this can be ignored, unless you want to apply a so-called X-Fix to the game ISO and reburn that backup.

This 'delay' effect exists in identical form on a PS2, causing similar left-shift of the picture when switching to RGB/component signals.

Apart from that left-shift issue all other effects should be positive, since the picture will be much clearer and colours much brighter than is possible with composite signals.
