No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

Well I have no idea how to go about soldering stuff else I'd have done a mod myself! So that's out the window :(

I ordered another PS1 scart lead which arrived this morning, plugged it in and everything is dim. Even turning on the brightness really high and it's too dark to see. Wiggling the lead in the port of the console doesnt do anything :( All the colours are fine though.

Some pictures of the inside:

Just picked up a modded PCE Core Grafx 2 on ebay which has an RGB scart mod according to the description.  When I turn it on it mostly works fine but brushing the scart lead ever so slightly can add a purple tint to everything. Much jiggling and placing at just the right angle it comes back on but the slightest push and it reverts back to purple. Not sure if its the scart or the mod but when I look at what's been done doesn't seem like any I can find info on or even a replacement scart to try:

The wiggling hot spot seems to be just above the composite ports so I don't think its the mod on the console. I can't figure out what that mod connector is though. I did try connecting composite through that box to 2 different TV's but there's no proper signal and the screen goes black, zero sound too. Can anyone help?  8-[

As others have already pointed out, there are two discs in the box, one 32x, the other plain old sega CD.
There are plenty of 32X and SegaCD crossover games. Night Trap for one has a much better version with higher quality video and different interface that only works with the two hardware parts combined.
