Hey guys. So I just got a PAL Dreamcast, and I'm having issues already. Probably something to do with the refresh rate being 50hz, because when I power it on, my TV flickers in black and white. I tested the Dreamcast on my monitor with VGA and had no issue. The thing is, it did this even before it booted the game, in the bios menu. I imagine it's something to do with my TV, a Toshiba CRT. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! | |||

It's because your TV probably doesn't support 50hz. I would suggest just using VGA, although, a lot of PAL games don't support it. | |||

Anyway, I thought the PAL Dreamcast could run in 60hz. I know Shenmue supports 60hz. I might give that a shot. Thanks. Update: If I select 60hz ingame, the flickering stops but there's still no colour. |
