vga box / pal gc help

[Gilbot]

I did a search and I don't think anyone has reported the same problem:

I bought one of those vga convertor boxes to run a PAL Gamecube through my Sony CPD 520GS monitor. The picture is acceptable (though not brilliant) when running games in 50hz, but when I run in 60hz mode the colours are distorted. Basically, the picture quality remains the same but reds/purples display as green. This also applies (obviously I suppose) when using Freeloader.

Anybody got any suggestions? I'm connecting to the vga box with composite leads, then from the box to the montior with a vga cable. Thanks a lot.

You might find some useful info HERE and HERE. It's somewhere to start, at least.

Follow the second of Treble's links; you really need to use ntsc cube/games and a modded prog scan -> vga cable to get a good vga picture.

Thanks guys. I knew the quality wouldn't be great with PAL (I'd read the posts already), but I was curious to know why the colour problems only occurred when running in 60hz.
