It comes up GREEN!
Sony had to disable DVD playback for RGB because RGB does not allow the piggy backing of Macrovision encoding which stops you recording the movies. They did it because they did not want to be sued by the DVD forum.

This industry has become 2 dimensional as it transcended into a 3D world.
You need one of those third party cables with a dvd switch on it.
pushing the switch makes the green signal go back to color!
On my brothers tv NOT He got a widescreen 82 cm Wega for 500 EURO.
when the switch is selected the screen goes to color for one second then blank.
Perhaps they build a security feature in the TV!
So I'd say, only on selected models
Not sure though we have to investigate this matter further.
watched Ace Ventura and when it was over I say the dvd menu of the movie. I say ugly composite rollings.....
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
I've watched composite
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Luke, I'm your father"
..... whatever......I watched composite damnit!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO

You can also buy the DVD Region X -bootdisc, which not only enables you to play DVDs from all regions on your PS2, it also removes the green.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Macrovision encoding/protection. As pointed out you'd either need a modded PS2 or one of those boot discs.GaijinPunch wrote:Will someone remind me why I can't do this please?
Word. it's a simple hack, but I can't recal where I read it. I posted a link to a how-to page. Maybe search the forums for "PS2" and "RGB."Neon wrote:someone once posted about how all you had to do was desolder the leg on a chip...or something...think it was Undamned.

Is yours an Euro PS2? Maybe that's why. Which answers the above post, because Europe is so far away from Hollywood. No. Really, they bitched and bitched and bitched until they got it their way. Also, Sony had to please their media divisions, by making the PS2 default to component even when you use RGB while playing a DVD. Which begs the question, how in blazes am I going to record a component signal without pro equipment?Naiera wrote:No it will not. I just tested it. You are mistaken.
Amiga Monitor. RGB connection. Component mode switched on. The colors are really washed out, but it looks like something out of the Matrix:
Can you see the green tint?
Then on RGB.
EDIT: Sorry, Naiera. I just realized I misread your previous post. PS2 will display DVD's in green without PAR. D'oh. But still even if you set the PS2 to RGB, and then load a DVD, it will send component to the monitor.
Don't hold grudges. GET EVEN.

thanks for the info.Naiera wrote:It's included in Action Replays now. It's been OOP for a long time.
also a question: do you know if the Action Replay disc is compatible with a Jpn. PS2 (original model) ?
I picked up a US ver. DVD Region X from Datel's site around last year, so I guess they would all be gone by now. :/

The latest ver. of Action Replay for PS2 has DVD Region X...
If you buy the latest version of U.S. version of Action Replay Max dated 2006, it does have the DVD Region X included. So really, there's no need to buy the DVD Region X disc itself when it's already included with the latest version of Action Replay Max. You will need to use the included Action Replay Dongle to unlock the "Remove the Green Tint" during RGB playback of DVDs...it works like a charm on my 30001 model PS2 using Japanese 21-pin RGB cable setup and an XRGB-2 upscan convertor setup.
