FALSE. Every PAL console has the necessary 4.43 MHz signal stock, otherwise the encoder wouldn't be able to make a COLOR composite signal. CXA1645 ALSO have a NTSC/PAL mode input, again that's all you have to override.

I think you're interpreting him wrong.

I already said my TV does NOT support NTSC at 60 Hertz. ONLY 50 HERTZ WILL WORK!!!!!!!!

There is no such thing as NTSC @ 50 Hz. And you're probably wrong about your TV not supporting PAL60, you're probably looking at NTSC thinking it's PAL60.

I NEED TO INSTALL A CRYSTAL IN MY SCPH-5502 PlayStation.

I suppose you also need an asshole on your elbow.

I have ordered a SCART anyway, because composite sucks, but it will not solve my problem.

Yes it will.

You are the one that needs to listen to others, you're acting like a timewasting clown. I'm done repeating myself, if you don't get it by now there's no hope for you.

People just like to act smart and put me down all the time. Sometimes you should listen to others. Even if they are sometime complety wrong.

Changing the crystal doesnt force 50Hz - its software controlled. The crystal is for the color carrier (the PAL or NTSC part, not the 50/60hz part).

So people saying you are wrong are still correct.

Calpis did cover all this above :(

Edit:

And Caplis covered it again while I was writing this

**Bad_Ad84** · 02-06-2012

No only that, if you are planning on playing NTSC/60 games in 50hz - its going to run slow/weird anyway....

Pointless thread is pointless :(

**H360** · 02-06-2012

Then why does my OTHER SCPH-5502 with a crystal installed work fine?

Please explain that then.

Was that really a necessary retort? It would appear that the filter in my workplace may just be a blessing in disguise, as you linked to something inappropriate that I would not want to see.

dunno who's wrong and who's rigth. but all 550x model that i've have now - chipped with PIC (mcu) and additionaly with 4.43 osc on the chip's circuit.

but i saw some mod without 4.43osc.

No. That's wrong info. A crystal will NOT help you if using SCART.

RGB color is RGB color. No matter 50 hertz or 60 hertz.

The crystal only affects RF/composite/s-video. RGB has no color encoding, it can't be corrected because it doesn't exist on RGB.

If your TV not supporting 60 hertz is the problem, a crystal will NOT help there either. PS1 games use software to determine 50 hertz or 60 hertz. Unlike other consoles. There is no such thing as a 50/60 hertz hardware mod for PS1. This means to get NTSC games at 50 hertz, you must patch their programming.

The plan was to NOT use SCART (RGB) from the start, since this is not a standard port in Australia.

I wanted to add a crystal before hand so if I move the console to another TV, it will work ok with composite still - even if or if not that TV I put composite into supports 50/60 Hz...

Like Bad said, another mixed up crazy topic started by myself as usual. I get a few lulz from these most times.

Lets get a mod to lock it up :shrug:

They never honour your requests. One would hope that this should discourage you from starting all these frankly embarrassing topics in which you make a fool of yourself.

It's alright. Let me ask a direct question that confirms whether this topic was useful:

Do you own a TV that accepts 60 hz, yet not NTSC color?

Dude, shutup. I do not think I make a fool of myself at all. Even if I have, I see it as a way to learn from my mistakes.

@Lum, okay. When I put an NTSC-J game in my 5502 PS1, the TV flickers because it will not accept 60 Hz. However, it is in colour. This is through (*EDITED*I said component by accident here) composite and not RGB and this PS1 has the crystal in it which is making it do colour correctly I believe.

**Lum** · 02-06-2012

That's a BIG time consuming problem to get around then. For 50 hz you'd have to burn a CD-R 50hz patched version of each and every NTSC-US or NTSC-J game you want to play. Assuming patches have been written to do that. After all real PS1 CDs can't be edited. :)

**Gemini** · 02-06-2012

You could always soft-patch them in order to default to a fixed video mode no matter what. It won't work in all the games out there, especially those using secondary executables (see Resident Evil), but most should be no problem.

**H360** · 02-06-2012

Yeah it is a pretty annoying issue. I was using a boot disc to force the software mode to 50, but the image alignment was off. The image was more towards the end of the screen on the X axis. Not the top.

It is ok though. I only play a few NTSC-J games..................

This thread makes for some nice popcorn...
p.s.: excuse me for being ot but it kinda warranted this.

ImportPlayer Light is an utility that allows you to play PlayStation games from all regions, even protected games or games in a different video mode than the one your TV uses.
This version fixes some bugs in the older versions and adds some features such as in-game screen positioning (press L1+L2+R1+R2 & use the directional buttons) and support for PSX games on PS2 (in PSOne mode only).

It does not include Game Cheats but it includes an Anti-Mod & Anti-AR killer to bypass Mod-Chip Protections & Action-Replay checks.
