Thanks I should try that just in case, but it seems they were working for the sellers so it's a bit of a long shot, doh!

I'd be surprised if they could detect the PAL TV, but does anyone know if that's likely? I tried it with both regular AV cables plus going through the xrgb-mini framemeister via RGB.

I've ordered a Game Genie too, it'll be interesting to see if that makes any difference.
