PS1 screen too green

The PSTwo (not sure about the original) automatically detects the presence of a DVD and sets the video output to component video.
Sony's claim is that GAMES are supposed to play as you have them
set up in the setup screen. I haven't had that experience - component video sends a lot of info down the RGB green line hence a LOT of green.
You would find too, i believe, that the red and blue lines would be lower
in level than normal.

Really?

Thanks. Anybody know what resisters to parallel for blue and red? My best guess is that CV18-CV20 are respectively red, green, and blue.

Ok here is the deal. The security protection Sony put on the PS2 (and the new slim) is just stupid. It affects DVDs, period. In order to remidy this without use of a mod chip is you either use straight composite video pinout or have a switch so that when you go to play a PSone game you have RGB.

I looked at the sheet I wrote down and I had writen saturation/contrast. The first time I said it I just guessed.

Is that why my ps2 can't play DVDs right when it's plugged into a VCR? (The picture fades in and out)

No, that's macrovision. It's on almost any dvd player so you can't copy the dvd.

Damn.

At least the Blockbuster DVDs I rent will copy onto my PC when I use the ps2 DVD player on that!

I suggested this before:

Is there any reason why it wouldn't work?

If anybody knows if CV19 is for green, which I think it is, then you can apply the mod on the other page.
