model 3003 PAL i get a picture. its almost like its a 256 colours not 16bit. but more
importantly its like the gamma is turned down. for example the playstation 2 that fires up on a game booting up, is supposed to be bright and white mines more dull, turnign the bightness up on tv of course makes the black grey on that screen for example.

Are you trying a new game to test your vidoe output?
Did you try a differant game? I seem to remember that Enter The Matrix had a disgustingly dark output the was near unplayable at its default settings. I just thought it would be funny if somebody put that game in and then thought that their PS2 was screwed up. lol |
