Hi there I only recently got myself a dreamcast, and have ben having a look around to get a few decent games. I borrowed a couple of imports but have been unable to play them.
When I boot them up, the screen just goes grey and a bit flickery. I figure this is because they are NTSC games and the TV (a 32inch Philips which is only 2 years old) doesn't like it. At present the dreamcast is connected via the RF module thingy. and the pic is fine for most stuff just not these imports.
However, I know that the TV is capable of displaying NTSC images as I have a modded psx and a couple of imported games which display in NTSC and it's fine with those, the only difference is that the playstation is connected via an AV lead which utimately goes into a scart socket.
I figure i I get an AV lead for the dreamcast and plug it into the TV via scart, it is likely to cure the dsplay problems with the import games??
