Dragonforce-Europe Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 i get black and white atari 2600 games on the atari 7800 instead of color games. Do you guys know whats wrong with it? Either its black and white or the game just doesnt work fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Which games in particular? The pause key on the 7800 is mapped to the port where the black and white toggle switch is connected to on the 2600. Does the pause key work normally in your 7800 games?

+Mitch Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Sounds like you need to adjust the 2600 color pot inside the 7800. There is a seperate color pot for 2600 mode and 7800 mode. Open up your 7800 and plug in a 2600 game, then move the pot back and forth till the colors look right. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Do you have a example as to how this pot looks like? PAL or NTSC? Since you have Europe in your user name I'm guessing PAL. Take a look at this picture, do you see the two metal dials? The one closest to the cart port is for adjusting 7800 color, the one further away from the cart port is the 2600 color pot. A plastic screwdriver is recommended to do the adjustment.
