    Please help,

    I just buy Gamecube with Qoob SX chip on it. When I play PAL Games backup, it can play but no color. There no problem with NTSC games.

    How I can fix the problem? It's cable problem? Because my GC cable are not 3 AV cable (with red, white and yellow) but only white and red with SHVC-009 (Black).

    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks.

    This can be one of a few things, I know it sounds stupid but check if you have a Panasonic TV that the AV mode is not set to Black and white, I had this problem once its such a silly thing, just press green on the remote a few times until it says just AV and not AV-S.

    Also push your cables to see if there in properly, also if you moded it check on the Qoob website for the colour fix but i think that, that is only for the RF tunner.
    Also I can help it but I keep saying it update your BIOS, there is nothing more important than having a bug free stable BIOS.
    But check out the Qoob site and tell me how you get on.
    try using an Origional Gamecube cable as well sorry forgot that bit.

    It came up in black and white because you're playing a PAL game on an NTSC TV. The PAL standard uses a 60hz signal and has more lines vertically than an NTSC signal, which is why your TV wouldn't properly display it. Some TVs support both standards, but not too many people have those.

    Also, the method wdx30022 is describing is called "forcing the video mode" and on the Qoob Pro settings it's the Video Mode options. Some games won't work properly with forced video modes. Problems include improper display of the video feed on the TV screen and at times won't even boot.
