PS2 RGB issue

Post by codeman » Fri Jun 10, 2011 1:51 pm

I've been trying to get RGB to work on my PSOne screen, but all I can get is video with a very green tint. I've followed all the threads and I've done everything that I've seen in them, and I still get the green picture. I lifted capacitors CV53, 54 and 55, and tied the RGB signals to them, and connected the composite video signal (also the C-sync signal, right?) from the PS2 to the C-sync input on the screen.

Is there something I'm missing? Is there anything I need to do on the PS2 board itself? Right now I'm just taking the signals directly from the AV output header on the PS2 board.

Thanks for your help

the problem may be your ps2's video settings, open the system configuration and try playing around with the settings in there

Are you taking the signal from the AV port or from the capacitors? When I last looked at the mod, you pulled the signals from the capacitors so you would miss all of the junk that gives it a green tint.

You could also try a resistor/potentiometer to weaken the green signal.

That was exactly the problem AngelArm. I didn't know I had to set the system to output RGB. Thanks so much, it looks beautiful! :D
