Thank you for the suggestions! The Harmony Cartridge sounds cool, but it's rather hard to find... I think I will go with a NTSC VCS with RGB/S-Video Mod: I asked to some eBay seller. It may be possible to play NTSC games with his "natural" way... As soon as I will find a good one for a good price I will place the order. Do you know someone that can sell me a 6S or 4S woody NTSC VCS with RGB/S-Video Mod? Many thanks. Andrea

thanks! Are you plugged on a new LCD?

Thank you for the reply. Yeah I remember those kind of VCR (I saw one when I worked in a local televesion). But I am afraid that this solution (a VCR "bypass"/converter) can work only if the signal is a true NTSC one, i.e., coming from a real NTSC console with RF out. Do you think that once RGB modding an atari 2600 you will somehow "neutralize" the NTSC/PAL signal? I mean that RGB output should give to any TV (CRT or LCD) a different coded signal than the real NTSC/PAL one coming, i.e., from the original RF output. Am I right with this statement?This step is really relevant for me to foreshadow a solution of my problem... What about buying a real NTSC atari in U.S. and plugging it with this tool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlxH_PoX2qU to the LCD RF input (or eventually mounting the RGB mod)? Can it be consider as the natural solution for playing NTSC games here in Europe? I really thank you in advance for any advice.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I bought the real 2600jr in order to have a true old school experience. Apart that NTSC games have wrong palette. I already have Stella.

Dear all, I bought an Atari 2600 Jr. PAL with RGB MOD. I have both an old Sony CRT Combi and a new LCD TV. The games I own are mostly NTSC. I already learned (thanks to pevious topics on this forum) that: - NTSC games on PAL system are playable altough they have image issues, expecially the bothering screwed up palette (green turns into blue, blue turns into pink and so on...) - any RGB MOD bypass the PAL/NTSC RCF signal, turning the video signal into a "region-free" output. My wish is to play NTSC games -at least- with proper color palette. Actually I found out only two possible solutions: 1. The heavy RGB MOD (http://etim.net.au/2600rgb/): this RGB mod is more powerful than the one I have and thus allows any 2600 system to change the palette by pressing a switch and to play any PAL/NTSC games. 2. To buy a real NTSC 2600/VCS system (maybe the 6S or 4S woody one) with RGB MOD (if the mod is not already embedded, I will follow one of the many tutorial about RGB MOD) First I kindly ask you if I understood clearly those solutions, according to your experience (I am rather new to this kind of retrogaming). any comments of which solution is the best? I mean in terms of availability - price - final video result, once getting the proper palette colors. Or is there another cheap solution that I ignore? NTSC/RGB converter are not working right? I need also to make sure that I can use an American system with my universal Power Adapter I'm using for my system. They both need 9V with center tip positive right? Really many thanks. Andrea
