Ok so here's what's apparently going on.
When I have the 32X attached, I get color on 50Hz, with it removed and the TV plugged into the Genesis directly, I get a black and white picture.. On the oscilloscope, I found two things going on here..
On the Genesis when switched into 50Hz, the picture goes black and white because the encoder chip is in PAL mode but is being fed a subcarrier frequency of NTSC, so the encoder chip outputs a very BAD color subcarrier, and the TV doesn't even try.. With the 32X attached (which takes the Genesis RGB output to overlay it's own graphics and encode it's own video), I found that the encoder chip it has, when in 50Hz, while still being fed an NTSC frequency, was able to output a correct NTSC 50Hz output, so that is why the TV was seeing it in color.
ischmidt, you were right.. When I have the 32X attached, it is outputting NTSC 50.. But you know what, this works to my advantage! I can now play PAL games, in COLOR!
