Where are you from?? It sounds like you are running roms from another region and your tv doesnt support it.
If you are in a PAL area (AUSTRALIA, UK etc) and try to run a NTSC SNES ROM it wont display in colour unless you tv supports NTSC.
Same goes for the otherway around.. Hope that helps.
You may be able to use a XBOX APP to convert your xbox into another region.. Enigmah Video Selector is the XBOX app i use to change my xbox from NTSC to PAL and vice versa.
one of the first things i attempted was switching between pal and ntsc...
all i managed 2 get was a black and white tv.
my snes roms collection is quite a mess...all the games run on my laptop though.
any suggestions you might have for getting my hands on pal roms..btw im currnetly living in amsterdam.
cheers

yoshis island (the cartridge of which is downstairs pluged into my snes) says it is a pal game when it boots up...nothing much after that cept a black screen.
i have attempted 2 force pal and ntsc in the ini file. only result was making donkey kong b+w.
btw donkey kong says its a ftsc rom!!!
ive been diging and digging for info, now i read that the my version of xSNES9x beta 4 has a problem converting ntsc 2 pal..do you know where i can lay my hands on beta 3?
Is it true that the xbox creates a saves folder with a copy of the ini folder inside??? this may cause a problem when trying 2 reinstall.
cheers

Yup, Normally on your E:\ drive.. You will find some snes9x .ini's and screenshots.. Just delete the lot of them via ftp or a browser.
