Black and white video with ntsc amiga cd32
« on: November 28, 2010, 03:45:13 AM »
Hello to all!!!  I have an NTSC Amiga CD32 that will only display games in black and white.  The games are not PAL games so I am not sure what the issue is.  I have tried it with my trusty old 1702, and 1084S with the same result each time.  I am aware of the ability to boot in PAL and NTSC by hooking up a mouse to port #2, and holding both mouse buttons down on boot.  The system should be booting in NTSC and the games are NTSC so I am stuck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!!!!:confused:

The splash screen also comes up in black and white.

I think it's the monitor's problem and not the CD32. Have you tried plugging it into a TV through Composite or S-Video?

 
Thank you Cammy, I was actually thinking of trying the S video through the VCR which I have the 1084S on top of.  I will see if this works.  I figured that I would not have any trouble getting color just hooking it up the same as I would have an Xbox, or my Amiga 600.  Must be something different with the CD32.  Thank you again.:roflmao:

Thank you to all for taking the time to help me out.  I will give the S video a try running it through my vcr/dvd player hooked up to my 1084 and see if this solves the problem.:)

I did try pushing different buttons both on the back, and the RGB button in the front of my 1084S, but either no change, or just a blank screen.  I will try powering monitor on/off while the CD32 remains on.  Never had this problem with any other system I have used my 1084 with.

I am not sure about that one.  I know my 1084 works with my Xbox 1, and other systems I have used over the years without any problems like this.  The CD32 is the first system I have had that does not display in color.

Do you have an idea what it could be because the splash screen does come up in B&W right from the start.
