Dreamcast weird display

Im using my dreamcast that had the ghost problem (a white shadow next to the object on screen) and had just burned to a disk Beats of rage so i hooked my dreamcast upto my 60hz tv to play beats of rage and couldnot find the dreamcast on any channels i even tried tuning it in and eventually gave up so i hooked it back upto the 50hz tv and now everything has a weird black effect like when you invert colors on a pic in MS paint ive checked and all the wires are in correctly and cant figure out what the problem is

 

Did you try another TV?

 

do you play dreamcast via antenna signal? if yes, why?

 

Indeed why, is it a 30 year old east german year TV that doesn't have composite video inputs?

 

I prefer to play old games on a Old tv feels more fitting. Plus it isnt 30 years old (closer to 15ish) it isnt east german and it doesnt have Composite (AV?) jacks just RF where an aerial goes into which is what my dreamcast uses

On other tv's it wont find the dreamcast at all checked every channel the tv has and even tried tuning it in and nothing.

 

I had a used dreamcast that did alot of what you said, especialy the inverted colours thing. It also would stretch polygons so lots of objects and characters look really strange. Some games (usualy bad ones) worked just fine. I took it back to where I got it and saw the store selling it again the next day. The guy told me that all he did was dissconnect the modem. Don't know it I believe him that it fixed it though.

 

Thats a little too old isn't it? Dreamcast was sort of the first systems to have good graphics too!

 

Yeah just get a new TV or one about the same age that doesn't ONLY have RF. I mean those TVs are only good for Pre-NES consoles.

 

absolutely nothing against that. most of us do it like that.

that may be the difference now. while an old Famicom from '83 didn't know better than RF, but a dreamcast also supports, beside of that, also AV, S-Vid (with box) or even an RGB signal.

I suggest you to buy you a nice used CRT which at least supports AV or S-Vid. RGB would be the best.

so you still will be able to run your "OLD" games on an "OLD" TV but the picture you will get will be better by a land slide

 

Problem: You are suffering from ghosting when using your Dreamcast on your TV.

Reason: Your Dreamcast has a RF cable.

Solution: Buy a Dreamcast Composite/RGB cable.

 

which his current tv can't processing :!:

 

Fixed:thumbsup:

 

Digging out my old ass CRT that has Composite inputs just need to buy the cable now. thanks.

 

In that case......

Fixed again:thumbsup::lol:

 

well like it's been said, a lot of us do that. but your TV is a little...TOO old. I never use RF on anything with composite.
