Problem With My Dc

[sfx]

When it reads a disk, there are some strange stripes running over the TV...

WTF?

[Cominus]

Are you running a pal game or something?

[iq_132]

The reason for this is most likely that you're trying to run a european format game in a north american dreamcast, or vice versa.

If you are using a back-up (cd-r), you can download a fix patch at megagames

OK, thanks

I've got a PAL DC...

[BobRedthorp]

Get yours self an RGB scart and the problem should dissapear, however if your TV doesnt support 60Hz mode then you will need to patch.

[sfx]

Strange, if I'm playing "Sonic Adventures", I've got the same problem.. the stripes and stuff.

But the game is PAL and also is the console... is the problem in my TV ?

[Sane]

At the beginning of the game, did you select 50 or 60hz? If the hz is the problem 50hz should work fine, try it.

[sfx]

No, the hz doesn't change anything... It doesen't matter if I choose 50 or 60hz

 

BUT

 

Can someone tell me, why do I need this cable?

 

Because this doesn't fit in here.

 

And why do I need this ?

That looks like a PS S-Video cable, that may be the problem.

[sfx]

:/

It was included with my DC...

[Gryph]

Oh, I know your problem SFX. I have it too with my S-Video cable. You have to pull up and jam that thing in the socket for it to work properly. It's a pain in the ass but its nice once the cable settles in its G-spot. But make sure you don't touch that cable once its all working because it will mess up again.

 

Does that cable not fit at all or it just doesn't go all the way?
