[Tatsunoko] Red or black & white image

[Berutoron]

Hello there!

Here's the situation:

-PAL 3.3 Wii here
-European 60Hz CRT TV
-RGB scart cable and composite scart cable (so, 2 options)
-Homebrew Channel Beta 9 (latest version)
-GeckoOS 1.7 (latest version) for HBC
-GeckoOS 1.6dcf (the one with a color fix)

When I try to boot the game through GeckoOS 1.7, it works, but the game is red with the RGB cable, black & white with the composite cable. I tried several options (basically, force PAL50, PAL60 and NTSC, and the VIDTV thingie), but none of them work (either I get a green screen, or the game is black and white/red depending on the cable)

When I try to boot it through the color fixed 1.6 version? Same thing. Whether I force NTSC or not, the image is still black and white with composite, or red with RGB.

So, in short: whether I use 1.6dcf or 1.7, I get either a red image (RGB scart cable) or a black and white (composite SCART cable). I have no other video cable, and no other TV to see if the game is properly displayed. Also, I don't have any other import games, so I don't know if they'd work properly. Finally, if I try to force PAL60 or PAL50, I just get a green screen. Only NTSC works, but again, the colors are messed up.

Please, tell me I'm not screwed and have to get another TV :(.

HomeBrew 1.0.1 is the latest verison

I don't know, maybe, but even so, that wouldn't help in any way, since the HBC Beta 9 and Gecko OS 1.7 and 1.6dcf both work on my Wii.

Does anyone know what I should do?

a NTSC TV would fix your problem but you can fix it without that too...

i'm not sure how although it's been answered before

if you use the standard composite cable (rca) you can get a cheap ntsc to pal adapter probably a better option for you than a new TV :)
