PC Engine is black & white on my TV... HELP!
« on: June 11, 2013, 03:06:32 AM »
I just received my PC Engine from Japan and it works great, clear picture and good sound but its in black and white :O

Its connected via a home made (by me) cable which taps the pins of L and R sound, ground and video on the expansion port.

What guide did you use?  this rings a bell actually.  Also, you'll get more appropriate attention if this were moved to the Mod/repair section ;)
