It's common knowledge (or at least I'd assume so) that a switchmodded PAL Mega Drive cannot display colours correctly in NTSC mode. I've recently switchmodded my system, and I want to enjoy my imported games in full colour.

I know the good ole RF lead is hopeless for this. Is it a SCART lead (and only a SCART lead) the solution to my problem, or can I use an RCA->SCART adapter that'll work with my existing RCA lead?

You'll need an RGB SCART cable like the ones here (http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&fstype=1&from=R10&frpp=50&maxrecordsreturned=300&satitle=rgb+scart+mega+drive&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&bs=Search&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D3&ga10244=10425&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1&fsoo=1). Choose the appropriate to go with your model. No RCA cable will do the trick.
