Hi i have got a messiah mod and when i go to play my backups they are in black and white, does anyone know how to get colour on a non ntsc supporting tv, import games.
Thx loads

by using a RGB scart cable, if your TV has a scart socket.
if not, you'll need to buy a NTSC->PAL converter, but their quality sucks bigtime.

I also have a T.V that doesn't support NTSC would this work in combination with the Messiah?

the chip has no influence at all on that, the same goes for any chip and unmodded systems as well.
however I recommend getting the RGB cable anyways, the quality is way superior over the AV cable picture.

Yeah but if you have a T.V. that can't handle RGB or NTSC would the colour correction as shown on the pic work?

You'll need an NTSC to PAL convertor. The one from Maplins (around £40) gives a very good result. The poorer quality arises if you have to go through the RF stage, which is likely if you don't have RGB or NTSC support.
