I recently got ahold of a freemcboot memory card, and am booting tempGBA on a slim PS2 (SCPH-70000) - TV is a US LG, and using composite cables

I initially had an issue where my flashdrive wasn't working properly, but I found one that does. Now I notice that the GBA games boot in grayscale (tried pokemon leaf green, advance wars and minish cap)

I'm not having this issue with ESR discs or the SNES emulator - and I was wondering if anyone else has come across this issue

changing the settings from ntsc to pal to 1080i in the tempGBA menu does nothing btw - and the emulator menu itself also is in grayscale

Much thanks

It does sound like PAL video on NTSC TV (same vice versa).
Maybe the setting has no effect and the thing has to be compiled accordingly.
I have found two versions (PAL, NTSC) containing both TempGBA.elf and ReGBA.elf -- but I'm afraid I can't link it here: The archives contain the GBA BIOS file.
v1.45.5 rev3

using composite cables
That might be an issue. A proper component cable sometimes solves NTSC/PAL issues.

    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless

    the booty boogie from (once again) the donkey kong country cartoon could also be a good song to sing while playing sea of thieves
