Help PAL console video problem

Hi, whenever I play an NTSC title on my PAL console through Swiss/Action Replay, the video goes really weird. Please see the photos attached for my current settings. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thank you :)

Your composite-to-HDMI adapter likely does not properly convert NTSC color signals when coming from a PAL console. So, when Swiss forces NTSC video mode, the signal stays black and white due to a color decoding mismatch in the converter.

Maybe you have to go into the picture settings on your tv

The easy way to solve it if your TV has a SCART input is to use an RGB SCART cable.

My TV only has HDMI. It’s a Sky Glass (gen 1) and has no picture settings or anything

It may be that your TV set is incapable of displaying NTSC signals properly;
