What's your TV? The more current the technology the better the odds you will find trouble with old hardware.

Man, I'd actually like to play Turtles in Time in black & white. Very Mirage.

Yeah, My tv is color because I play my other 5 game systems in color.
I'll post pics Tomorrow morning of it.

You just need to find the correct menu that involves changing the monitor's color (usually under the video section), or if there is a knob that is marked "color". Or who knows if your cartridge (or SNES) is defective.

I'm used to diagnosing these types of issue. This one is a bit odd though... what's the make/model of your TV?

And the SNES is still in black and white when you use the AV cables with it on your TV?

Have you tried with NES or N64 cables, they both fit in SNES too. Might tell you if the cables aren't working...

Unfortunately yes.......For some reason it sometimes starts out in color,but eventually it turns black and white.

Is this only with the TMNT game or does any SNES game produce the same results?

hmmm....the battery adapter that you are using...is it an original SNES or is it a 3rd party?

honestly, it sounds like it could be the battery adapter causing that. But let me know what you have.

If it isn't the video cables and not the TV, then yes, has to be something malfunctioning on the SNES itself.

lol then that's definitely the problem!!! you need everything original in order for it to work correctly....

One time i was experiencing problems like that playing star fox...but then i decided to just switch everything up with an original adapter (I decided to buy an extra snes at a thrift shop)...So i switched it and everything plays normal.

So yeah, that has to be the problem. I think it's because those 3rd party adapters don't use the same amount of voltages as the original ones. Believe me, because i had those retrobit versions as well.
