    Hi people :) Title of the explains my 'problem'; as is to be expected on old PAL CRTs, most don't support showing NTSC signal in color, and thus my NTSC NES displays in black and white.. but when I play 60hz games on my superCIC modded PAL SNES, it's in color! Is that PAL60?

    The correct answer depends on what type of av cable you're using with your SNES and whether or not your SNES is a 2 PPU or 1Chip console.

    Yes if using composite
    No if using RGB


    But either way, your TV clearly supports 60hz, just not NTSC colour encoding.

    That's what I thought. I'm using s-vid on the SNES (It's a 2-PPU), and composite on the NES.
    Can anything be done to convert the NTSC encoding to PAL? Like an adapter or something..

    You can changing colour encoding with some video encoders. But IIRC (and I dont deal with nes much, so dont take it as gospel) the video is directly generated in the PPU and you cant change the encoding between NTSC or PAL.

    Best best would be to get the NESRGB
