Somehow found a blue Japanese debug PS1 in Game today! Quite amazing... someone for whatever reason traded one in. Anyhow PAL PS1 games play fine on it, but US games only come out in b&w. Now my TV handles NTSC and PAL fine with everything else I've thrown at it, so this is a bit bizarre. Don't have an RGB cable to test with it though. Any thoughts?

I did a search on the serial number. It is a PAL debug unit. Strange thing is though, it's running off 110V (complete with 2 pin flat plug) and needs a stepdown to operate properly. Maybe because it came from Japan...? And all of the ports etc marked on the machine are in Japanese. I'm guessing to get a colour picture through it for any game I'll need an RGB cable then? Should be no problem to find one... PS2 RGB cables work fine on the PS1 right?Lie with passion and be forever damned...

Find one as in buy one... don't have an RGB lead for the PS2 at the mo heh...
It's the standard figure 8 power lead... to a 2 pin plug on the other end. And then a stepdown to plug it into our power sockets. Both the power lead AND stepdown came with the unit when I bought it... yep the muppets in Game had no ****ing clue what they had! The stepdown is hand labelled 30W and is well... let's just say you'd never see it on sale in Maplins, it looks like something you'd cobble together in a physics lab out of spare partsLie with passion and be forever damned...
