Melly306 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Hi. I live in the uk and I was wondering if the ntsc roms played on a pal atari would display the correct colours if I played it on a ntsc compatible pal tv? and Would i need the composite mod for it to work?

No. Playing a NTSC rom on a PAL Atari results in a PAL-60 signal. A NTSC compatible TV is useless, since a PAL console will never output an NTSC video signal. The wrong colors are the result of the PAL TIA chip having a different palette compared to a NTSC one. There are a lot of PAL60 hacks here on AtariAge (e.g. in this thread) that you can use with a Harmony cart. Those will show correct colors on a PAL machine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
