    Ok here is my problem:

    I have a modded GC and it works flawlessly on any Tv.
    I decided to buy a TV card to my notebook to play Gc on it.I bought Avermedia because it supports video input.I bought it,installed and started to watch tv.Everything is good up to here but than...

    I plugged my Gc to the Tv card and hooked everything correctly.The menu showes up without a problem ,with color.Than the game boots than BOOM the game has no color.It's black and white.I tried with my all backup games and the result is the same.But when I put an original game (PAL) it works fine, with color.

    The program of the tv card lets you switch modes, ntsc to pal to pal_n and pal_m etc.But none of them solved the problem the backup games all without color in all modes.Also my original games works well with both pal and NTSC modes.I can't understand.

    In the modchip's menu, you can change it's viewing mode (but only of modchips menu not games') It doesn't work on NTSC and PAL (60 MHZ).It only works with color in the PAL (50 MHZ) mode.

    Is there a solution to my problem?Maybe a program to convert games NTSC to PAL or anything like that.Or should I change a setting related to refhreshment rate of the notebook.

    Please help if you know anything about this problem or got an idea.

    Thanx

    The problem is the output video format of Gamecube, i got the same problem with mine, the solution is changing the video format on chip's menu. (On XenoGC its just press X at the start, its my case) and works well.

    And there is no way to change the Game's Region.

    There is a option to change video format in the chips menu but it only changes the menus viewing mode not games.And I think I am using Viper chip

    I think I complately understand my problem.My PAL games are work with 50 mhz mode and with colour.But when I change them to 60 mhz they go colourless too.So my tv card doesn't support 60 mhz mode.

    Now I ask is there no way to play ma backup games in 50 mhz?Maybe with a chip setting.Can you help?

    The video forcing on the newest Cobra BIOS doesn't work.

    If you want, use GCoS until they fix it.
