PS2 How to play Pal PS2 games in color using Latest OPL Build?

Hello all,

I have been trying to figure out how to solve the issue of playing PS2 European games using OPL in color without it displaying black and white color. What's weird is that after adjusting the Video Mode in the "Display settings" within OPL from NTSC to Pal, then vice versa and going back to Games List to finally exiting out to restart OPL to see if my attempt made a difference I was somehow able to play Police 24/7 in color after messing with those settings, while also perhaps holding a few buttons while the game was starting up.

However, after pressing Start+Select+R1+R2+L1+L2 buttons to return to the Browser memory card menu, so that I could return back to OPL and try out another game. It went back to being in black and white.

The problem is I'm not sure what I did to make turn the pal games into color. I have been trying to figure it out by replicating the settings I adjusted or by pushing random buttons during the start of the game, but I have had no luck so far. If anyone knows a solution to this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Happy Holidays!


I am using a NTSC-UC Console, 2TB sata ssd along with Grimdoomer's OPL v1.2.0.6-1996-Beta build. I also added akilluminati47's OPL theme (Master_remix).

You must save the changes in OPL or you will have to configure it again.

I do that after changing the video mode to Pal or NTSC-UC but still run into the same issue. For example, if I video mode changes using pal then the whole screen in OPL remains in black and white and the pal games remain colorless, and if I save changes using NTSC-UC then the games also play in black and white. I cannot find a workaround to this issue.

Is there a secret button configuration I'm supposed to press before the game starts to get it to play in color?
 
That's strange.
There are televisions that are not compatible with one region but will be compatible with another, but in your case you say that they are displayed in black and white in both region modes.
Does your console have a chip such as a matrix?
You could try changing some video settings to "Color"
 
Try unplugging the ps2 video cables on both ends and firmly reattaching them.. fme I can use OPL settings to force ntsc on virtua cop elite edition with no color issues, just a bit of overscan that I ignore

Your certain the game is supposed to be displaying color and not using the greyscale for atmosphere for that level etc?
